I had removed the linux-generic package in the past since, presumably, it is "optional". I have made a point of reinstalling it. Hopefully this will correct the issue where I had to install the correct header package AFTER the kernel package had been updated. Unfortunately this causes the nvidia kernel module to be not available which, of course, prevents gnome from launching. I would suggest that you find a way to force the linux-generic package to be required and warn people that removing it will remove it's dependencies also. As soon as the header package was installed dkms immediately started building and the desktop started.
