It looks like you've got the newer version of the nvidia drivers which do not support the card you are using any more. According to the errors in that log, you need use the older, legacy package found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-96.43.23-driver.html if you are running 32bit or here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-96.43.23-driver.html if you are running 64bit.
I'm not sure if kubuntu includes packages for those older nvidia drivers (which you should use if they do) but if they don't, downloading and installing the appropriate package should provide you with the correct driver version for your card.
