Geeze, I'm really sorry. This kinda reflects badly on me, but I got fed
up and did a reinstall (I lost nothing at that point). My Sincerest
apologies, in the future i'll be sure to stick with a problem if I
report it. If its of any use to you in my reinstall I followed the
exact same pattern EXCEPT I have not updated since I installed my nvidia
driver. I haven't had that problem yet, and I was suspicious it might
have had something to do with that (maybe I even installed incorrectly
and I borked something having to do with dpkg)

Sinceres Apologies,
-Dan
