Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1321937/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

In Ubuntu there is a control panel for "Security and Privacy" with a Diagnostics tab that contains a checkbox that says "Send error reports to Canonical". If you uncheck that you'll stop receiving dialogs about crash reports.

Otherwise look for the file /etc/default/whoopsie and set "report_crashes=false".

Also, that is not user discoverable. It used to be a part of the dialogue window itself as a checkbox.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Xubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2017.

Presumably this issue was resolved some time ago and this bug report can now be closed? I'm changing the status to "Incomplete" to allow this report to expire in the absence of any further comments.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
