This means something has crashed (probably not apport itself, that's the program that reports crashes): to find out what, look in /var/crash.
I have the same problem, but it started on upgrading from 12.04 Unity 2D to 12.10 full Unity; I attach my crash report. (I know this is probably the wrong way to send one but I am not entering my password at an unidentifiable prompt: see bug 794757). ** Attachment added: "_usr_bin_compiz.1000.crash" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1082606/+attachment/3474865/+files/_usr_bin_compiz.1000.crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082606 Title: "system program problem detected" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1082606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
