Binary package hint: update-manager

I have tried this during two out of two distribution upgrade to Natty on two different laptop computers. One has Nvidia graphic card and the other has ATI. In both cases the error appeared when trying to restart and initialize the graphical interface to complete the distribution upgrade. In first case it showed the (for me very familiar now) error message saying that the screen driver is missing and that the graphical interface cannot be started. In the second case it just seemed to freeze when initializing some processes while further up on the list complaining that automatic error reports failed somehow (doesn't seem to be important, but unfortunately I don't know where to get the boot log from in case it has relevance, so saying what I remember).
Now, in both cases the only thing needed was to reboot the computer and go to fail-safe mode to reinstall the graphics driver (respectively Nvidia and ATI, but same process) from the restricted drivers menu and restart. After that it enters Unity perfectly.
