Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Mats-Jørund Fiskum]

Had problems booting; not sure if that's a part of the problem or not. I just ran in recovery mode repeatedly, running dpkg (since that usually fixes the problem). However, this time, it didn't work. It randomly jumped into low-graphics mode as I pressed ctrl+C to cancel the non-functioning dpkg, and worked after that.
