Bug Description

Binary package hint: tzdata

Sorry, but I don't know... I'm new to Linux. Here's the message I had at the bottom of the distribution Upgrade Screen while the system is supposed to get prepared for a Memtest86+. The message in the terminal box is:

Found Linux image:/boot/linuz-2.6.31-14-generic

and it looks like it's been written 100 of times. The computer seems to be frozen. Hope this will help you, I will shut my computer down now and try again tomorrow.
