Forgot to mention an extra crappiness: it's now 1-2 days off release and Firebug was broken in Firefox by the update earlier this week. I thought it'd be fixed by the update of today, but it's still broken.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and desktop releases Posted Apr 23, 2008 1:09 UTC (Wed) by nlucas (subscriber, #33793) [Link] Well, at home I decided to upgrade to 8.04 a week ago. Everything was working wonderfully, but today turned up the computer and X didn't start. It ended up being some change that made the nvidia drivers to fail to load, which it's not too bad because I can spent enough time without 3D, but the sound card driver also refused to start (old soundblaster audigy). Breaking 2 essential things for a Linux desktop in an update 48 hours before shipping isn't making me too happy about this release.

I'm assuming a lot to make this suggestion, but it sounds like you are using one of the -386 kernels instead of the -generic kernels. I don't know what the difference between these two is supposed to be, but the symptoms match what I got just last week when the update chose to install a -386 kernel. (It keeps on doing this on one box and I have no idea why.) So basically ensure you have linux-image-generic and linux-restricted-modules-generic installed, and if it does install some new kernel then boot into that... And uninstall everything -386 related afterwards.
