I'm getting a lot of "System program problem detected" error dialogs, is there any way I can make them go away?

Question

After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 I get a lot of error messages with no info when the desktop starts:

How can I solve this? I tried to update and install kde-full and gnome. But it was not solved.

Solution

The following answer by rubo77 here fixed it for me:

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 resubmitted somehow, but disabling apport is not a desirable solution.

Remove old crash-reports

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

sudo rm /var/crash/*

After a reboot the popups are gone.

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

Worked flawlessly. This is a bug, right? The logs should be cleaned after reporting or after the upgrade.

Worked perfectly for me too. I did a cd /var/crash && ls to check if there was anything there and indeed there was. Thank you so much!

Would you be able to help point me in any direction to help understand how to read the crash reports from this app?
