This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #148175. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Thanks for your report and helping make Ubuntu better. After rebooting, has this crash reappeared? It appears that HAL crashed after the upgrade, which caused GPM to crash.

(From dmesg):

hal segfaulted first:

after reboot, all ok

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

Thanks for following up. It appears that the install modified a file HAL needed to continue to run, and a reboot was necessary. Closing since Ubuntu now uses devicekit-power instead of HAL, and a reboot was necessary to properly boot with the new kernel.
