Ubuntu system program problem detected[Solved]

Open aadeshere1 opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I had been getting "System program problem detected" error messages with no further info after upgrading my ubuntu to 15.10 ![system program problem detected]({{ site.url }}/assests/img/ubuntu/problem-detected.png)

It turns out that Ubuntu has an error reporting sytem called apport which tries to catch all program crashes in the background and report them to the developers.

Quick fixture: Remove old crash-reports

See all the old crash-reports in the crash-report directory

ls /var/crash

Remove all old crash-reports that might exist in the crash-report directory:

sudo rm /var/crash/*

The error messages will disappear on reboot.
