I don’t know for sure, you can try. As far as I know, EnvyNG doesn’t really work anymore on Kubuntu when installing ATI drivers for the newest cards, but it might still work for older ATI cards and nvidia hardware. If that doesn’t work, you can try to download and install the drivers directly from the nvdia website if you have a nvidia card (large chance that they work properly). As for ATI drivers, they are in the kubuntu repository (hope I spelled that right), so you can install them using KPackageKit. That might be the same case for NVidia drivers (I think the package is called nvidia-glx, you should look it up). Don’t forget to reboot afterwards.
I hope this is of any help to you.

Does this work for kubuntu 10 as well? They recommend using jockey instead and it didn’t work for me. Should I use ennvyNG instead?

WOW thank you SO much for this!!! I was terrified that I couldn’t install Kubuntu or any distro at all on my new computer but after following these steps it worked perfectly!!

Thanks again!

I’m a little late seeing this, but better late then never – right?
