Here is the current reproducibility for Karmic (9.10) on a fresh install from a clean Canonical installation:

 1. Install Canonical's 64-bit stock AMI ami-ab15f6c2 from http://alestic.com/
 2. Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
 3. Install Xvfb: sudo apt-get install xvfb
 4. Install workaround to get rid of one of the errors, "(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)": sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri
 5. Run: sudo Xvfb :42 -screen 0 640x480x24

(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null)

Expected results:

 1. Fonts used by default by Xvfb should be installed by apt-get install xvfb
 2. Other errors which may be caused by AppArmor? shouldn't be happening on a fresh system.
