System program problem detected Ubuntu 18.04

Asked by William Pabon

Hi!

A few days ago I installed version 18.04 on my mac mini desk top (dual boot). The installation went well and everything seems to be working fine except that every time I boot up after a few seconds ( or a minute or so) I get this message "System program problem detected". I take the option to report problem but I don't know if it is really happening or what not. The machine seems to be working fine, since up till now no other issues have crop up. Is there a solution for this? Thanks.

For diagnostic purposes, what is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
ls -l /var/crash/

The command

sudo rm /var/crash/*

from https://www.binarytides.com/ubuntu-fix-system-program-problem-error/ should help to get rid of the repeated messages.
