How to fix ... System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now? (Ubuntu)

This popup comes from apport.  It is a process that will collect and report and problem.  From Ubuntu wiki:

Apport is a system which

  •     intercepts crashes right when they happen the first time,
  •     gathers potentially useful information about the crash and the OS environment,
  •     can be automatically invoked for unhandled exceptions in other programming languages (e. g. in Ubuntu this is done for Python),
  •     can be automatically invoked for other problems that can be automatically detected (e. g. Ubuntu automatically detects and reports package installation/upgrade failures from update-manager),
  •     presents a UI that informs the user about the crash and instructs them on how to proceed,
  •     and is able to file non-crash bug reports about software, so that developers still get information about package versions, OS version etc. 
edit /etc/default/apport
Change enabled=1
to enabled=0

Then
sudo  /etc/init.d/apport restart
