To preface, I have two monitors (Samsung 213T) and an nvidia graphics card.
Ok, here's what happened: 1. Once I got to the 5 solid red dots I pressed "Alt-SysRq-K" and then one of the monitors stopped receiving a signal. The other monitor (my right side monitor) showed 3 stripes of malformed display info in the top 10% of the screen. They reminded me of when looking at the lines on a CRT monitor set to the wrong resolution or refresh rate, but they were different. The first line showed a series of blocks of red dots equidistant from each other, each slightly different, looking something like braille. The second striped line showed a compressed word "ubuntu" white on purple background. The third line showed white dots somewhat similar to the first line. The rest of the screen was black. 2. I tried "Alt-SysRq-K" again, and this time the CD started to spin up again. The screens go black, then a white cursor appears on each screen, and the startup sound is played. No splash screen is displayed, it boots immediately to the desktop. As for reporting the error, I had problems as well. The first time I tried to go to a console and run the apport command, firefox startedup and then showed an "internal service error" on the login.launchpad.net site. I figured I needed to be logged in for this to work. So I logged in, tried again, and got to another page saying I was logged in. But then there was an additional button saying "sign me into edge environment", so I clicked that, and then on the next screen selected "change anything" and retried running the command and this time it worked. There were additional errors in the console: ---------------------------------------------------------- To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
