Unfortunately you did a whole lot of things by now. So it is hard to tell in what state your system is now. If you run sudo apt-get install -f does this still complain about the kernel packages? This would be something to solve first as the nvidia binary module requires those to compile a driver

I have tried booting into older kernels, but no joy. Since removing the 'update-nvidia' file the 'sudo apt-get install -f' goes fine. It is as though the driver is not being seen, even though it compiles the kernel ok. When I was able to boot into a GUI, there was no sign of a driver, even in

Cannot speak for Kubuntu but its probably the same, but in Ubuntu it relates to jockey. But then jockey is a front end to manage certain packages for binary drivers. I have no machine up with an nvidia card right now, so I cannot look what package name it is exactly. And I am by now a bit confused

It looks a bit like the primary failure is something during the post- install of linux-image is trying to call update-nvidia which does not exist and then causes the complete post-install to fail. And that in turn makes those other packages fail because they depend on linux-image. Maybe worth
