Am running 13.10 w/Cinnamon, but still have Unity installed. Everything was working fine until I responded to an update manager update notification. I tried rebooting into a prior kernel version, but that didn't fix this. I also tried changing session to Unity, but also same issues. The behavior after login is crash reports for 50+ applications, none of which are in startup applications.

Here's what got updated:

End-Date: 2014-04-25  10:20:19

If I wanted to rollback to prior to this update, and have the earlier versions of the various, what is the best way to handle?

  • Have you considered the options here? http://askubuntu.com/questions/292314/how-to-downgrade-packages-on-ubuntu – Nattgew Apr 25 '14 at 19:23
  • Good suggestion...The crash reports were making my system unusable, so I for now I disabled apport per this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/09/ubuntu-13-10-quick-tip-disable-apport-error-reporting/ which has calmed things down. With apport disabled, how can I see what's crashed? – Kendor Apr 25 '14 at 19:50
  • Isn't that what apport is for? I found this interesting info, maybe you can use it to identify crashes. http://sigquit.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/the-core-pattern/ – Nattgew Apr 25 '14 at 20:10
