"system program problem detected" alone does not tell anything. There should be more information with that, telling the name of the program that failed.
For diagnostic purposes please provide the output that you receive for the following commands:
uname -a
lsb_release -crid
ls -l /var/crash

ankit goel -
You are seriously out of date:
a) Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS >> August 13, 2020
b) linux-image-
I do suggest getting this system updated; insure the system then is in a consistent state.
Run terminal commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
Advise us of these results.
-maybe all good now ?-

Hi bashing-om ,
Yes you are right . My system is out of date but is that the reason why this error message is popping up .
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : | #5 |
There is a known problem in Ubuntu 16.04, that in some cases the report about a program crash cannot be delivered to the Ubuntu error reporting servers, and a message about this pops up with every log-in.
The easiest way to solve the problem is deleting the crash files with the command
sudo rm /var/crash/*.crash
Additionally you should also install the package updates.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask ankit goel for more information if necessary.
