I now understand what happened. The installer creates (by default) an EFI install, with grub-efi-amd64. The automatic update replaces grub-efi with grub-pc, and the latter doesn't work. I manually reinstalled grub-efi and everything works now. But something is clearly wrong: an automatic update

Worse than before. Screen corruption starts happening immediately on login (in fact, even before -- on the login screen). What's more: in Jaunty, corruption was extremely rare with DRI turned off (I've seen it once in 1-2 months of use). Now even with DRI off, I see screen corruption after several

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462157 seems to be the same bug in Fedora. From the comments I gather that the jury is still out on whether it's an Xorg bug or a kernel bug. It also seems like it's currently closed, but never got fixed, which isn't encouraging. -- Xorg randomly free

In my case it was happening in Intrepid, too. The difference is that in Intrepid, X would almost always lock up without increased CPU consumption, while in Jaunty it almost always locks up with 100+% CPU usage. -- Xorg randomly freezes (100% CPU) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345224 You receive
