System Program Problem Detected

Question

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, fully up-to-date. I'm new to Ubuntu. Whenever I start my system I face "System Program Problem Detected." Why is this happening? I ran sudo rm /var/crash/* but it again appears after some time. What could be at fault?

By fully-updated, its 12.04.2, right? 'coz there are a lot of bug fixes in 12.04.2. — jobin, Feb 25 '13 at 11:29
stop the still-running apport service:sudo stop apport after deleting crash and doing @Ian's answer. — αғsнιη, Sep 22 '14 at 10:30
I read your question and sudo rm /var/crash/* solved my problem. The problem started to happen after I could not wake up my laptop from hibernate and did a cold reboot. — atmelino, Apr 30 '15 at 01:37

You need to disable apport.

To do so, follow these steps:

Hit Alt+F2 and type gksu gedit /etc/default/apport.
Open the file and change the value of enabled from 1 to 0.
Save and exit. Reboot.

disabling doesn't solve this. – Dr_Bunsen Feb 27 '13 at 11:03

Simply disabling apport doesn't solve the problem. It's just a workaround and potentially harmful one. – int_ua Nov 08 '13 at 10:28
@Dr_Bunsen: Although about two years and three months later, would you like to say how to actually solve this problem or at least mention the problem's source? Additionally, in Ubuntu 15.04? – ashubuntu May 19 '15 at 12:12

Open your terminal and type:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/apport

And hit Enter. Change the text "enabled=1" to "enabled-0". Then, save and exit.

To solve this problem, you can watch this YouTube video.

You should add the steps required to solve the problem. Then you can mention the source. – green Apr 14 '13 at 12:07
