I am getting a message every time I login saying something went wrong with an application, and if I would like to report it. How ever I do not have the option to see what application it is referring to.
That is strange, the messagedialog usually shows what application it is referring to and also has an option to show more info about the crash.
The messages are stored in the directory /var/crash
if you type ls /var/crash in a terminal, or open the directory in caja, you will see a listing of crashlogs sorted by application.
If you can't find any useful info there, you can delete the files in /var/crash , reboot, and see if the message still shows up.
This is the most recent message. It is related to marco:
ProblemType: Crash
Architecture: amd64
CrashCounter: 1
CurrentDesktop: MATE
Date: Thu Oct 20 13:29:40 2022
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/marco
ExecutableTimestamp: 1649755698
ProcCmdline: marco
ProcCwd: /home/myuser
ProcEnviron:
LANGUAGE=es_MX:es
PATH=(custom, no user)
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=
LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/bash
So I changed the Marco option in Mate Tweak with no effect, the message is still present. Strangely this is not happening in other users spaces.
But despite the message everything works ?
Everything works fine. Only the persistent message.
The crashreport is probably not valid anymore.
Best to remove the crashreport then (which also will get rid of the message):
sudo rm /var/crash/*
If marco gets in trouble again it will automatically create a new one.
