Well, I suffered from the same problem earlier this week ( I run an AMD XP 2400+ box with 512 Mb RAM and an Asus n6200 256 Mb RAM card). Unfortunately I did not have the time to search for a solution. This is my production box and I needed it up and running that same moment. For me this called for a backup of the /home folder and reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch (which was simple and fast).

Anyway, for me it proves that Linux has improved greatly as far as ease of installation and ease of use are concerned, but when something goes wrong there is a serious lack of easy and accessible diagnostic and repair tools that don't require you to go over esoteric error logs with tons of information that are useless for the non-geek user. And we have to be honest, something always can and will go wrong.
