Hi all, I've been experiencing since yesterday some GDM Crashes, I'm normally working and suddenly the Desktop Environment dies and restarts, killing all my windows and apps running in it.

Maybe as a coincidence, Monday night i upgraded to linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic, so this can be the cause of the crashes.

Here are my specs:

Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit
Dell M1530 Laptop
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo T6400 @ 2.00GHz
3 GB Ram
160 GB HD

Im uploading the :0.log when the crash happened

Thanks
Rodrigo

Did the linux-restricted-modules of the same version get installed as well; it appears that some modules are missing from the system.

Problem not solved yet, I get a Blue Screen and a message that x-server can not start and gdm is down.
It is on this computer but on a different partition.
