Bug Description

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

I'm not sure what happened. All I did was to install whatever the device manager wanted and I found out I didn't completely install some of the packages. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. All I saw on rebooting was a symbol that I've never seen before called CRASH Report.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

security vulnerability:	yes → no
