Disabling error-reporting is not a desirable solution!

Ubuntu has an error reporting system called apport which tries to catch all program crashes in the background and report them to help the developers.

It seems that after a dist-upgrade there are stuck some reports that are tried to be resubmitted somehow, but disabling apport is not a desirable solution.

Remove old crash-reports

Open a terminal and remove all old crash-reports that might exist in the crash-report directory:

After a reboot the popups are gone.

If you don’t want to reboot, you can close all open popups with:

(Any further new pop-ups still should be investigated. If you want to see the details,
look in /var/crash/ for any new reports)

Sometimes when you try to logout with the logout command, you’ll get the message There are stopped jobs. This means that you have left some suspended jobs hanging around, and you should finish them off before you log out. Type jobs as above to get a list of what jobs are stopped; then, you can bring them to the foreground one at a time (with `fg %1′ and so on) and exit each normally.You can also type

% kill %3

to kill job number 3, which will cause it to exit prematurely.

If you get stuck or are in a hurry you can use the logout command twice in a row and you’ll be able to log out in spite of your stopped jobs. The jobs will be killed automatically by the shell. You really should clean them up yourself though.

If you have background jobs running (as opposed to stopped jobs) they will continue to run after you log out.
