Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[thomas drazul]

system refused to load on start up

I used sudo apt-get update to up date and after doing this twice I was able to get a normal log in screen.

After opening I got a request to report it.

It gathered the information and than opened this screen.

Sorry this is all i can do to help
