    The following answer by rubo77 here fixed it for me:

    Ubuntu has an error reporting system called apport which tries to catch all program crashes in the background and report them to help the developers.

    It seems that after a dist-upgrade there are stuck some reports that are tried to resubmitted somehow, but disabling apport is not a desirable solution.

    Remove old crash-reports

    Remove all old crash-reports that might exist in the crash-report directory:

    sudo rm /var/crash/*

    After a reboot the popups are gone.

    Any further new pop-ups still need to be investigated. If you want to see the details look in /var/crash/ for any new reports.
