This bug is still very much present, even with all the latest updates installed. I just ran into it several times after re-installing my system from scratch and trying again for a moment without the separate videocard. It's even become worse since the system just drops (locks) to a shell (see attached picture I took ) The only way out is a hard reset / power cycle. And after rebooting, Apport doesn't even notice the system has miserably failed.

I tried installing kernel 3.5 from linux-generic-lts-quantal (now at 3.5.0.22.29) and the situation is much better there, even though I did experience one lock-up as well. This lock-up was a bit different though, since the system didn't drop to a shell and I could still move the mouse cursor. Still had to hard reset my machine though.

What can I do to get this issue sorted out?
