Everytime I log into Ubuntu 14.04, I get a couple of error pop ups. Every single time.

enter image description here

It appears also sometimes a third on shortly after, for example after opening the browser.

How can I find out the reason for this pop-ups? and more importantly, how can I stop them?

UPDATE: Just to be clear, I do not want to "hide" message warnings. I want to find out the reason why this pop ups come, and how I could possibly fix them, as I am sure they are symptomatic of an underlying problem somewhere.

  • I dont want to "turn off" the message. They are symptomatic of a problem, I am sure. I want to repair that problem. Jun 4, 2014 at 13:12

Apparently all I had to do was to delete all the files of crash reports with

sudo rm /var/crash/*

Apparently it was because there were some reports that were not being properly deleted automatically, and they were detected as new ones every time I rebooted.

This question was handled well in this thread. It shows how to clear the message log without disabling the error report system.

    I'm sorry about that - I will check the text I typed. Open a terminal window and type 'sudo rm /var/crash/*' without the quotes, of course. This deleted the old crash logs which apparently sometimes get stuck in the machine. Jun 4, 2014 at 13:45
