Bug Description

$ uname -a
Linux t420 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Virtual Machine manager
- Open win7 vm
- When i try and open the display after win booted up to gui, something crashes. And VM dies.
- Same happens if i close Gui vnc window and try and open later.

I get dialogue asking if i want to report the problem, I answer yes, and provide root credentials.

After a little while i get a dialogue.

[x] Invalid problem report

I'm getting the same apport error message, on an up-to-date install of Quantal (amd64; BIOS version on a MacBook Pro 5,3). It happens immediately after login (which currently regularly triggers a bunch of errors that are caught by apport). Despite the message, apport opens a new browser tab to let me file the bug.

I get multiple error on boot :

Error('Incorrect padding',)

It is reayly annoying !! Multiple error windows pop ups every time on boot !!

This helped get rid of the message by vanishing broken files from apport dir -

sudo rm -v /var/crash/*
