If you really want to disable this alert/notification, you need to disable apport which is the crash reporting program of Ubuntu.

apport messages are generated from the logs in /var/crash/, so first try to remove all the files in that directory by sudo rm /var/crash/* and then reboot the computer.

If you want to disable these alerts permanently you need to disable apport. To do so, open the file by sudo vim /etc/default/apport, now change the line enabled=1 to enabled=0.

Although disabling apport is not recommended.
