70% of boots will not even start low-graphics mode due to "Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in raise()"

[Tama McGlinn]

After reinstalling Ubuntu, most of the time, the ubuntu desktop won't start up. It says the graphics driver was not configured properly and I'll have to do this myself. There are various options but none of them save console login actually works.

Other times, everything works fine. The only thing that disturbs me is the bug report window which pops up several times for the same problem.

I'm now trying this fix:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
