I was able to "fix" this problem by installing all new updates.
Because I was unable to use WLAN I had to do the following steps:
1. Boot from the Ubuntu CD
2. Connecto to your WLAN (i.e. make sure that you have an internet connection)
3. Mount your linux partition (on my computer it got mounted at /media/disk)
4. Open the terminal
5. Do binding mounts
sudo mount --bind /dev /media/disk/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /media/disk/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /media/disk/sys
6. chroot into your linux
sudo chroot /media/disk
7. Update your system
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
8. Reboot
Now your system should be alive again.
