Comment 0 for bug 1120660

Recently, I am seeing a few kernel panics.

The latest one happens when asked to run E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I've also seen them when trying to change compiz settings.

They seem to have started a couple of days ago in the middle of an upgrade, I guess during some Xorg and/or nvidia related upgrades.

However, it happens now each and every time when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'.
