syslog seems to suggest that the x crash really was related to the update-manager problem, I attached the messages from a few minutes before the crash up to the last message before the next boot.
In particular, this message appears at the same time the X server disappeared: AptDaemon.Worker: CRITICAL: Killing child since timeout of 600 s ** Attachment added: "syslog-excerpt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33603516/syslog-excerpt ** Attachment removed: "syslog-excerpt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33603516/syslog-excerpt -- module rt2860sta ERROR!!!
