Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

A component crashed and apport detected this crash. All configuration files and traces were attached to this bug, what do you need more? We are talking about a live session so there isn't any user data.

Hardware configuration, as reported above is a Laptop Dell Inspiron 1520, Graphic card: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT]

Please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

No, this is not easily reproducible. I am still trying to find a common ground here (there are other similar bugs opened).

[Paolo Sammicheli (xdatap1)]

I can confirm what Carlos said. There's no way to reproduce it because it's not related with the user activity.
