It looks like you are running the nouveau nvidia drivers. You might want to try and run the proprietary nvidia drivers instead. That will probably fix your problem.

I think it'll be easier to restore my rsync copy. What option do you
pass it to just overwrite newer files?

Check in /var/log and see if you have dpkg.log. If you do, you
should be able to look at the bottom of the file and see what you
just installed.

At that point you should be able to uninstall, downgrade, upgrade or
properly configure it... what ever you think will best fix your system.

do, "apt-cache show <package_name>", and it will show you if there
is more than one version available to install. If there isn't
multiple versions, you might still have an old version available
that you can downgrade to in /var/cache/apt/archives/

To install those, simply do dpkg -i <path/to/the/package.deb>

After that, if that package upgrade was the one that broke your
system, then it should be back to normal.

Keep in mind that another upgrade will put the newer package that
broke your system right back on there so you might want to skip any
upgrades till the system tells you that package has been upgraded to
a newer version.

There are ways to tell the system to make a certain version of a
package stay on there till it's told differently, but that can cause
problems in and of itself... mostly just keeping your system from
being able to upgrade.
