Using Elementary OS Luna Beta1 on kernel ???.33 installed amd-driver-installer-12.6-legacy-x86.x86_64.run and rebooted. after autologin to the desktop I did a software update check and cancelled, then i opened a terminal window and typed in aticonfig. Then I got the error window for this bug.... enough details? Good Luck. :)

Got this bug report today after checking updates on Precise 32 bit.

Title differs a bit cause of different language server:

Today I am getting many error messages about Ubuntu internal error and System program problem detected

I have documented the errors in a text file attached.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

I'm on fully updated 14.04 LTS and I get that error almost everytime when I refresh repos in Synaptic.
