Bug description:
  I was booting into Ubuntu, using the default option in grub, and was
  able to enter my password in the login screen, but the displays
  started flickering a lot, and there were a lot of repeated text
  messages (it switched into text mode).  I finally did a hard reset and
  tried booting into ubuntu - generic which seemed to work.  There was a
  prompt from apt to update, so I did, and then I got this error
  message.
