I tried running the command you suggested. I didn't notice anything
crash as a result.
You have to bear in mind that this may have been a result of an upgrade to
v10.04 from 9.10 that did not complete.
The upgrade was stopped at configuring NTP (?). I left it like that for over
half-an-hour and nothing changed. The system was active but the upgrade window
was unresponsive. I hit CTRL-C in an attempt to cancel the upgrade but all
that happened as a result of that was that the screen eventually went black. I
pressed the power button to turn it off, then attempted to start up as normal.
X was not displaying anything so I again hard-restarted the PC. When GRUB came
up I noticed a recovery option. I chose that. From what I can tell it
attempted to reinstall missing and erroneous packages. When it was done I
started X (startx). It didn't seem right, I restarted it again. When it came
up there were many crashes. I reported several, this was one.
