Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error. -> ExecutablePath /usr/bin/lsb_release

Question

Running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit. Recently I start seeing this internal error any time after I open the terminal and today after I opened a file in gedit. Could anybody explain me what cause the error and a possible fix.

-> ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/lsb_release

-> Package: lsb-release 4.0-0ubuntu20.2

-> ProblemType: Crash

-> Title: lsb_release crashed with IOError in getstatusoutput():[Errno 10] No child processes ...

this is just a part of the Error report problem box, can't upload screenshot (not enough reputation) Any help on this is appreciated.

Solution

This issue is caused by a conflict with TeamViewer and has been addressed on the official Ubuntu bugtracker. A solution is provided by "gerlos (gerlosgm)" in comment #39 of said link. Also, a Ticket has been sent to Teamviewer on 2013-5-8 by MRiekerk (mattijs-riekerk) in comment #54 of same link.

In the meanwhile, the crash can be averted by removing TeamViewer with sudo apt-get remove teamviewer.

Hope this helps.
