[Bug 1120660] Re: Kernel Panic when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' ?

[James Hunt]

... also, if you can recreate the problem via 'sudo telinit u', please
can you run the following command (does not need to be run as root) and
append the details to this bug:

initctl list

Thanks

Title:
  Kernel Panic when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'  ?

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently, I am seeing a few kernel panics. [ Assertion failed in
  log_serialise ]

  The latest one happens when asked to run E: dpkg was interrupted, you
  must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

  I've also seen them when trying to change compiz settings.

  They seem to have started a couple of days ago in the middle of an
  upgrade, I guess during some Xorg and/or nvidia related upgrades.

  However, it happens now each and every time when running 'sudo dpkg
  --configure -a'.
