Comment 27 for bug 997470

I have an Dell Latitude E5420 which was sold pre-installed with Ubuntu, and this bug affects it too.

So far it seems that the effective remedy is removing Apport:
 $ sudo apt-get remove apport apport-gtk apport-symptoms python-apport

This solution is fine for me, since Apport anyways only wastes my time. It wants to report the same issues over and over, and I never get any feedback on the bug number or what happened to the issue, and I can't find the reports anywhere, so I assume the reporting system is broken and my reports don't actually get send anywhere or at least never get processed.

It would be nice to see a Canonical blog post telling how much help Apport-initiated reports have had in finding and solving bugs, if any at all.
