[Bug 978654] Re: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 24: ordinal not in range(128)

[Christan Adéen]

The dialog "System has encountered an error" (Or something similar not
100% sure) is popping up always after boot or waking up from suspend The
details of the dialog tells its a duplicate of this bug. . I'm not
noticing anything wrong with the system other then the update manager
not telling me that there are updates available. Running  Update manager
manually gives this error: (Might be another problem then this bug)

"Failed to download repository information
