feature request: "System problem detected" without details provided, request for more detail in message

[crysman]

Every (re)boot, I got this error popup window displayed. It is quite new, earlier Xubuntu versions had not been having this issue. The problem is: what is it about? There are no details whatsoever :/ I will attach a screenshot next reboot...

(from question discussion https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+question/684182)

"OK, I've removed all from /var/crash - and now I am OK .. BUT...

I still want to make a feature request in order to: let the users know where the crashes are located"

Here is the screenshot. When you click on "Report problem..." nothing visible happens, no other info provided... That is very confusing and user-unfriendly.
