Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for compiz-core: package version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu8 dbgsym version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6
outdated debug symbol package for libdecoration0: package version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu8 dbgsym version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6
outdated debug symbol package for compiz-plugins-default: package version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu8 dbgsym version 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

The crash has happened two times. 1:st time directly after boot after upgrading to the 3.2.0-11 kernel and in this case I was not able to file a bug report as the keyboard wasn't working. After this I booted the system in recovery mode and selected Resume normal boot in the menu. This worked OK. Nvidia settings was working, Additional Drivers said the Nvidia current was activated, Unity was working, but information about Open GL and graphic driver in Hardinfo showed wrong values.
Tried a normal boot after this and got the crash. The keyboard wasn't working this time either. I suppose I'm not the only one with this crash, but the crash report might perhaps be of some value.

This is on a system updated just an hour ago and based on yesterday's daily build.
Hardinfo provides the correct information about Open GL, when mesa-utils is installed.
