I will start by saying this is not a duplicate of System Program Problem Detected nor "System Program Problem Detected".
I do not want to disable apport. I want to find a way to know what is the Problem the system detected and find a way of fix it.

This notification appears everytime I log in: Saucy Salamander

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander 32Bit.

Edits:

1. Apport won't come up when clicking Report Problem.
2. Cairo-Dock won't start sporadically.
3. Login takes longer than expected.
4. Chrome crashes from time to time.
5. Laptop will overheat when CPU usage.

  • When you click "Report problem...", apport will come up, and will be able to give you more in-depth information. Would you mind copying and pasting the output from apport, please? Keep in mind, it may take a few seconds for apport to get all of the information, so be patient. :) – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 03:46
  • okay, that's fine, we can try to work this out without apport. Have you been experiencing any issues besides these errors appearing (eg. Unity crashes, programs crash, slow logout/login)? – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 03:51
  • I have the same thing here. I'm on Asus N76W laptop, what is your machine? – v010dya Feb 01 '14 at 03:53
  • @Hans I have found that there are some issues with i5 processor on this machine, when it is running at 100% (no, not only heat sinking). BOINC, for example, produces invalid results. This is why i have asked. – v010dya Feb 01 '14 at 03:59
  • @Hans Chrome tends to crash quite a bit (I don't know if they fixed that in this most recent update), but since you are getting the error dialog at login, the culprit may be Cario-Dock. It might be crashing quite a bit, but catching itself most of the time and restarting. Other times it might not be so lucky. Consider uninstalling Cario-Dock with sudo apt-get remove cario-dock. If this doesn't solve the problem, you can reinstall it without having to redownload by simply issuing sudo apt-get install cario-dock again. – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 04:01
  • Generally the system program problem detected pops up just after a application exits due to a bug.This is not always the case though.I will try to recreate some bug and then write an answer with necessary screenshots.For now,if you click report problem,it should show another window.Now click on the small arrows to expand report.You may see the application which caused the bug there somewhere.If you don't get me,don't mind,I'll try to write a good answer if I could recreate some bug. – Registered User Feb 01 '14 at 04:03
  • @Hans that's definitely not right. Try removing all programs with the prefix of "cario" by using sudo apt-get remove cario* – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 04:19
  • @Hans if sudo apt-get remove cario* comes up with nothing, then yes, try sudo apt-get remove Cario*. I'm not completely familiar with the exact package names, and Linux has always been very case-sensitive when it comes to pretty much anything. – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 04:22
  • @Hans oh, right, my bad. I tend to mispronounce/misread/miseverything that first word. :) – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 04:31
  • @Hans right, that's why I had suggested removing any programs under cairo*. As for the package files, I believe that unless you issue purge in lieu of remove, the .DEB files remain on your hard drive for convenience purposes. – ExplodingKittens Feb 01 '14 at 04:58
  • Have you tried to see if any crash reports are exist in /var/crash/ directory ? – NickTux Feb 01 '14 at 05:02
  • @Hans - please can you summarise the above rather lengthy comments by editing your question. Then you can delete your comments to cleanup. Thanks. – fossfreedom Feb 02 '14 at 09:55

Fixed by improving keyboard shortcuts in the Cairo-Dock app:

  • Corrected Lock Screen Shortcut as Super+L somehow is not allowed.
  • Corrected Use Keyboard to navigate Cairo Dock as Super+Enter is somehow not allowed.
