Thank you for your report!

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might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system

Before closing this bug could someone explain what I should do to report this bug correctly?

I installed Ubuntu Onieric 11.10 a few days ago (of course with all the updates). After I turne on my PC and logg into my account the system crashes 3-4 times, every time!
I reported all this crashes with YOUR bug tracking/collecting tools. This errors are reproducible because they occur every time I boot my maschine.

Every day I start
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and there are no new packages to install.
If my system is outdated then there is only one reason. You/Ubuntu don't provide newer version of the needed software.

So could someone please explain me how I could update my system correctly or report the bugs so that they are useful to others?
Ubuntu Onieric is the most unstable Ubuntu/Linux version I have ever tried and I use Ubuntu since Ubuntu 5.04 - Hoary Hedgehog. And it's not the first time I installed a Alpha/Beta version to help improving the system.
