Bug Description
Sometimes every time I log in to Xubuntu 16.04, sometimes every other time, the first thing I get are 2 dialogs saying there has been a problem and 2 requests for permission to submit a problem report. I always give permission, and after I do, everything seems to work fine. Every time I've ever looked at the details, I find something that says the problem report is damaged and cannot be processed, and refers to an invalid core dump with a warning referencing /tmp/apport_core. This has been going on for over a year, but doesn't seem to be a common problem, since I find only 2 similar bug references. Bugs #1424864 and #1507461 appear to be giving a similar but not identical error message, and the symptoms of neither match mine.
Using instructions from bug #1424864, I tried apport-collect -p xorg 1424864, and was told to open another bug report.
