By "crash" I mean that X (and all graphical applications) close and I am
prompted to the "run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode (and other options)"
window. When it happens, I'm still able to use ttys with Ctrl+Alt+F.. If
I choose to run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode, it actually starts X in the
same resolution as in the 'regular' mode (1280 x 800) but I don't have
3D acceleration any more. It doesn't crash in "low-graphics mode (at
least it hasn't crashed since I started low graphics mode 4.5 hours
ago). The OS was installed from an Ubuntu 9.10 CD to which I added KDE
(apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) and then upgraded to Lucid on April 29
(apt-get dist-upgrade).

The latest apt-get upgrade before I had this bug was on 2010-05-26
(apt_history.log.txt attached).

I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.32.21.22 to 2.6.32.22.23 yesterday (May
30) but it was*after* the bug appeared and did not change anything. I
also tried to boot on a 2.6.34 kernel (which I compiled myself from
kernel.org sources) but I still have the same bug so it does not seem to
be directly related to the kernel. When I sent the bug report (and also
now) I was running the distribution kernel (Linux  2.6.32-22-generic
#33-Ubuntu), not the custom one.
