Update from Kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 crashed

[Vlad Kuusk]

Binary package hint: update-manager

The message after the crash asked to create a new bug. I see that this bug is reported but it could be a different reason.

My system is Core2 duo with ATI Radeon X1600Pro

I hope, I can see how to attache the log files on the next page
