Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 Has Experienced An Internal Error

Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 Has Experienced An Internal Error
Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 Has Experienced An Internal Error
I am using using Ubuntu 12.04. But, when I start my laptop I get message like this "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 Has Experienced An Internal Error". This is not the beta version of Ubuntu and when I read full error it follows as:

Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error.
If you notice further problems, try restarting the computer.
Send an error report to help fix the problem.
It is all because of Apport which is a debugging tool. Apport generates this crash reports. In previous versions of Ubuntu Apport is not enabled by default. In Ubuntu 12.04 Apport is enabled by default. So we can disable Apport to stop this annoying crash reports. 
Where's Apport Live?

You can find Apport at "/etc/default/apport" . To open this file with GEdit Text Editor type:
gksu gedit /etc/default/apport

When you open this file you can see like this :
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo service apport start force_start=1
enabled=1

Change enabled=1 to enabled=0 to disable Apport. Save and exit.
Now, you will never see "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 Has Experienced An Internal Error" like annoying pop-ups. This fix works on 12.10 and 13.04 also. So, apply this fix and stay Happy forever.
 

Comment If you know any other fix for Ubuntu.

SpeeedUP Firefox – Tweaks For Better Browsing Performance


Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?
That's the beauty of this program being open source.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

1. Disable Animations:
Step 1: Type “about:config” in address bar and hit enter.
Step 2: In the Search bar, type “browser.tabs.animate” and press enter.
Step 3: Now, Double click on the it and make it “False”.

Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below - for the true / false Booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

2. Speed up Page Loading : 
Step 1: Type “about:config” in address bar and hit enter.
Step 2: In Search Bar type these commands one by one and replace the value one by one.

NETWORK.HTTP.PIPELINING => TRUE
NETWORK.HTTP.PROXY.PIPELINING => TRUE
NETWORK.HTTP.PIPELINING.MAXREQUESTS => 8
CONTENT.NOTIFY.BACKOFFCOUNT => 5
PLUGIN.EXPOSE_FULL_PATH => TRUE
UI.SUBMENUDELAY => 0
NETWORK.DNS.DISABLEIPV6 => TRUE
JAVASCRIPT.OPTIONS.JIT.CHROME => TRUE
JAVASCRIPT.OPTIONS.JIT.CONTENT => TRUE
4. Disable Antivirus Scanning:
Step 1: Type “about:config” in address bar and hit enter.
Step 2: Type “browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone” in filter and hit enter.
Step 3: Set the value from “True” to “False” by double click on it.


One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.
 
Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now! Enjoy it.
