Reason: Apport is a debugging tool that is used to generate crash reports. This was not enabled by default in previous versions of Ubuntu 12.04. To avoid this annoying pop-up, the Apport can be disabled by force. One drawback of doing it will be that you wont see the crash report but it is safe any ways as there is hardly any actual crash or error.

Solution: If you seem that there isn’t any errors in your system, you may want to disable this error/crash report notification. You can do this by disabling the Apport error report notification tool, following next steps:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal and type the command: sudo -H gedit /etc/default/apport then press Enter to run the command.
  2. From here the text editor apport will show up, change the value from 1 to 0 for enable variable to disable the apport. Save and exit the editor, then restart the system.

apport

You can always re-enable it later on if you want, by changing "enabled" from "0" back to "1", or you can enable Apport temporarily, using the following command in a teminal:

sudo service apport start force_start=1
