Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-common

Don´t know nothing about the process that crashed.
Don´t know why it was running and don know what it should do or why it crashed.

Yesterday I upgraded my Intrepid laptop from Intrepid to Jaunty.
That went very bad, had to manually do some ´apt-get -f install´ and ´dpkg --configure -a´
during the upgrade process.
After everything eventually did install, the X-server didn´t want to start, it couldn´t find
the ´nv´ display driver, so I had to manually install xserver-xorg-video-nv
(I never had the propritairy nvidia driver installed).

The crash report tool thinks this was the problematic package:
nvidia-common 0.2.9
