I would be surprised, if a specific bug like this is caused by a hardware failure, especially because I am using that notebook since months without a single problem (with previous versions of Ubuntu, too). Also, other DEs, like KDE seems to work nicely, with many resource hungry tasks (which usually triggers bugs like ones with disk I/O, memory or CPU). I've also tried to re-install packages you've mentioned but it did not help. Anyway, just to be sure, I will check it with memcheck at this evening. Also I am thinking to try to reinstall the system (it was an upgrade from natty) to see if it helps, if there is no further ideas to cure the problem; just I thought it can be useful to track this bug if others may have it too ...

However since then I cannot log in at the lightdm (btw I tried to use gdm too, the result is the same) screen. A window (without borders) appear that failed to load session "ubuntu". The result is the same, if I try to use alternative options like Ubuntu 2D, Gnome, Gnome classic, Gnome without ubuntu specific, etc etc etc. Just the message is different (the session name in the message). Now I am writing from fluxbox WM, since it was able to load at least. If I try to launch eg gnome-terminal from a terminal in fluxbox, I get: lgb@orion:~$ gnome-terminal Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to activate configuration server: The name org.gnome.GConf was not provided by any .service files .xsession-errors file is attached.
