Comment 7 for bug 1303222

I had the same problem with an upgrade from 13.04 to 14.04 on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM. I hopefully looked at the output console during the crash alert, and this was related to a font installation, that is already a good clue. Don't know which one, could be a chinese one, as it's used on this system.

After upgrade tool crashed, I tried to restore some coherent state on the system. then I launched synaptic from a term, and mostly everything is frozen with lot of erros about gtk in the term. I can't log anymore from the pure text console (ctrl+alt+f1) and X11 is frozen since at least 10 minutes
