The dialog "System has encountered an error" (Or something similar not 100% sure) is popping up always after boot or waking up from suspend The details of the dialog tells its a duplicate of this bug. . I'm not noticing anything wrong with the system other then the update manager not telling me that there are updates available. Running Update manager manually gives this error: (Might be another problem then this bug)
