Bug Description
Hi,
I've been having this problem on and off during the time ive been using Kubuntu edgy (about 3 weeks now), and it's already made me format and reinstall twice (and looking forward for a third time). I dont know what provokes this problem on a first time, because it appears randomly during the night normally, long after any update. I get a segmentation fault from adept_notifier, and from there I cannot use apt anymore. Everytime I use it i get a segmentation fault. For example
$ sudo apt-get update

"Fallo de segmentación" means segmentation fault in spanish BTW.
If i run adept from a terminal i get the following output
$ adept_manager
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 148
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
