I got this error today on Xubuntu 14.10. Not sure the cause, happened in the background it would seem.

i got this error everytime while a new booting or resuming. if i booting, at the top left corner 2 pop-up windows tells the error just before desktop appears, but if it's a resuming pop-up windows number is 4. if you click "cancel" on pop-ups nothing's happening, only pop-ups're disappear.
