[Bug 1203534] Re: update-manager crashes when trying to upgrade to 13.10 when nvidia video driver in use

[Dave S]

On a second system w/Nvidia.

Failed 4 times using:
"in a terminal: /usr/bin/pkexec /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade --frontend=DistUpgradeViewGtk3 -d"

twice with result:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
authenticate 'saucy.tar.gz' against 'saucy.tar.gz.gpg' 
extracting 'saucy.tar.gz'
Real-time signal 0

third time was:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
authenticate 'saucy.tar.gz' against 'saucy.tar.gz.gpg' 
extracting 'saucy.tar.gz'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

then tried from /tmp:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Real-time signal 0

Finally ran do-release-upgrade, as with previous system, and it's off
and running.
