If that didn't work for you then you must be experiencing a different problem
Removing /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video is the right solution. I'll make sure
that nvidia-common takes care of this.
** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu Lucid) =
nvidia-common (Ubuntu Lucid)

To clarify/summarize: When upgrading directly from 8.04 to 9.10 (Kubuntu
Karmic Upgrader), the following minimal change can be made to prevent
the nvidia binary driver from failing to load:
1. edit the lrm-video file:
sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video
2. comment out the following line with
simply removing /sbin/lrm-video did NOT work for me.
I did the very same upgrade: 8.04 - 9.10 (won't skip releases like
this again)

Did you do the upgrade as 8.04-8.10, then 8.10-9.04, and then

Yeah, as a general rule we recommend people upgrade either from LTS to
LTS, or from release N to release N+1, as these are the scenarios we
focus on testing during development. Upgrades that skip releases are

Interesting, according to packages.ubuntu.com, lrm-video is no longer
part of any ubuntu package; the last time it was provided was in
intrepid.
My guess is that no upgrade process removed the file (as should have
happened), and so it's been sitting on your system. By Karmic, it has

OK, I have done a little more digging into this. It seems that the
problem lies in the /sbin/lrm-video script.
The script call modeprobe with a -Q option which is invalid.
if [ -e /etc/default/envy-dkms ]; then
modprobe --ignore-install -Qb $@ $XORG
else
