As requested, I performed a re-install of Kubuntu Lucid beta1. I used
the daily alternate build of Mon 2010-04-05.
I had previously had problems with Kubuntu daily builds around the time
Beta1 was released: the problem with the LiveCD is Bug #548373 and with
the alternate install CD is Bug #548572. Although you had suggested the
LiveCD, I chose the alternate because I could work around the problem
more easily if it recurred. In the event, it did not.
The install was routine.
1. Immediately after rebooting, I checked for linux-headers-generic. It
had not been installed.
2. I ran the GUI Install restricted hardware drivers application
(jockey-kde). The installation appeared to run normally, but a dialog
box at the end of the process said it had failed. The first jockey.log
is in the attached tarball.
3. linux-headers-generic was still not yet installed at this point. I
installed it manually and ran jockey again, this time from a login
console (IIRC: sudo jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia_current). The second
jockey.log is also in the attached tarball.
4. I rebooted again and ran jockey again, also from a login console.
This time the driver was properly installed.
5. Please note that it was necessary to install linux-headers-generic
manually.
6. I regret that last night I forgot to pipe the output of dpkg -l to a
file. Interestingly, after I installed the package manually, it did not
appear when I did a dpkg -l. This is strange. It was there when I turned
on the machine this morning.
Here is the history of the last three days of checking linux-headers
packages. The legend for the command-line aliases is:

pkgd <== apt-cache show
