apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected kubuntu natty patch

** Description changed:

  After installing the proprietary nvidia driver in Ubuntu Natty (32bit
  and 64bit tested) and rebooting, the system freezes before reaching the
  login screen. The system can boot fine using the nouveau package, but as
  soon as nvidia-current is installed the system crashes. Trying to switch
  to a tty doesn't work, the only way to reboot after this is to use the
  magic sysrq combination, and then boot into text mode to remove the
  nvidia-current driver.
  
  The card in my machine is:
  03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9300 / nForce 730i] (rev b1)
  
  The driver version I installed, both on 32 and 64bit systems is
  270.41.06-0ubuntu1.
