Public bug reported:

Hello, I just created this bootable USB flash drive on a 4GB Kingston
flash drive in Windows 7 x64 using the Windows utility. I booted from
the thumb drive and installed almost 300 updates then rebooted. All was
well until I started receiving error messages. I have received 3 so far.
This is the 2nd one and I will submit the 3rd one in a moment. The first
error I couldn't send because I got a message saying Firefox is still
open and please close or restart it before sending this report. I'm
paraphrasing from memory so that's not exactly what it said but I'm sure
you know what I'm talking about, it usually appears if you close Mozilla
Firefox as try to reopen it too fast.

If you tell me how then I can try to resend the first error report for
the error I received.

None of these error messages that popped up seem to have caused any
apparent issues other than the messages notifying me that there was a
problem. I took screen shots of every error I received so you need only
ask and I will give them to you. Ask anything and it will be given to
you promptly. I don't know much about these errors so I will refrain
from speculating and in no way is this an angry rant to get your acts
together to the opensource community. I understand that this is an
community project and you don't have to give me anything. The complete
opposite, I am a fan and I am only sending this error report in for the
community because I know that every person that sends in a report is
helping to make ubuntu linux all the more better for all of us and not
only me.

I will leave you to it, please don't be shy to ask me questions and more
information that will help you understand this bug. Linux is very
interesting to me and I would like to wish you luck in taming and
grooming this OS to becoming more stable and suitable for global
dominance in the future.
