Look in /var/crash remove anything there (back it up elsewhere) see if you still get the errors if yes the logs there should now be relevant to the issue at hand.

greetings, everyone . . .

for ages now i've seen the little icon on my toolbar that informs me there
are updates to ge gotten and have promptly gotten them. but now, since the
upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, i'm also getting annoying,
microsoft-like popups having to do with "system problem" and such. they
inquire as to whether i want to report it and i say okay, sure, and click
on the box, whereupon a web browser opens and tells me there's no site at
the link specified.

i'd like to be rid of the whole thing. i'm perfectly happy with the adept
updater (even though i open a terminal for the update/upgrade).

now today i see that among the updates is something called ubuntu advantage
tools. i do not know what this is, but it also strikes me as something i
do not want.

so, then, my questions are: how do i get rid of the new pop-up upgrade
nonsense? and is it safe to remove "ubuntu advantage tools"? (it seems
like one of those things that should i do a purge would remove other
things that i don't want rid of.)

thanks for any advice you may have.
