[Bug 1828432] Re: update-notifier crashes on login

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your
description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Title:
  update-notifier crashes on login

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This looks like a truly ancient bug: #12072. And a slightly less
  ancient one #38535. But here it is in 19.04.

  Every time I log into gnome, I see a "System problem detected" dialog.
  I click on the button to report the problem, and the dialog
  disappears. While the dialog is up, the update-notifier icon is in the
  dock to the left. It disappears with the system problem dialog. I'm
  guessing it's that that breaks, but there's no other visible
  indication of what it is that's crashing. It's really annoying. :-)
  Annoying enough I'm considering just removing update-notifier, but it
  wants to remove  ubuntu-desktop-minimal ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk
  update-manager as well, which maybe doesn't seem like a great idea.
  But maybe it's the only way...
