Vague system error notifications

Asked by Robert Kirchner

On my Lenovo W520 laptop, running Ubuntu 12.04, as of a week or so ago, I regularly get pop-up notices saying "system problem detected", and asking me if I want to report the problem. When I click the 'report' option, it tells me "'precise' is no longer under development but technical support is still available." Annoyingly, no other information is given about what exactly the problem is.

I have this issue as well, and it also started after an upgrade a couple of weeks ago. Also a lenovo but thinkpad s-10-2. In addition to this, i get what seem to be random Xorg crashes, also starting at the same time, and are possibly a related issue.

Are you fully updated? You can check with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I am fully upated. The crash report for me mentions xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.7 as the offending package.

mine looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/946008

maybe this guys is too?
