I stopped the incessant pop-ups by going to /var/crash and moving the crash reports elsewhere then rebooting the system.
Once back at the desktop I received one crash pop-up for zeitigest-demon which was reported to launchpad as expected. Since then I have had no further crashes or pop-ups. I had 10-12 crash reports in that folder; maybe there is some limitation on the amount of data or number of crash reports allowed in that folder that is causing apport to not operate properly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839810 Title: Endless loop of "System program problem detected" fails to generate report To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/839810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
