Jay Flory, your information was the key! I removed the -116 kernel and reinstalled it, and the graphics are fine now. It looks like this was indeed due to a timing problem between when my system got the gcc update and the kernel update. It appears that I'll have to reinstall virtualbox as well.

Jay Flory, that's important information and sounds like it can lead those of us affected to a solution. However, my version of gcc is the default one for 14.04, I do not have a custom version, yet I still have this problem. Do you know what version of gcc I should install? -- You received this
