In my search I've learned that the user 'whoopsie' is being used for the error reporting daemon in Ubuntu.

What worked for me to stop the Error message?
I didn't have a need for the whoopsie service on my development system,
so I wanted to make sure it was not installed anymore.
Finding the config file where the whoopsie reference came from:
in my case that gave the result:
Edit this file: (sudo nano)
Delete the policy section for user 'whoopsie' and save.
That should do it.
NOTE:
You might want to backup the config-file first before editing.
cd /etc/dbus-1/system.d
sudo cp org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf.backup
so I wanted to make sure it was not installed anymore.
sudo apt-get purge whoopsie libwhoopsie0
Finding the config file where the whoopsie reference came from:
cd /etc/dbus-1/system.d
find . | xargs grep 'whoopsie'
in my case that gave the result:
./org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf
Edit this file: (sudo nano)
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf
Delete the policy section for user 'whoopsie' and save.
That should do it.

cd /etc/dbus-1/system.d
sudo cp org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf.backup
Thanks. That is an annoying and very silly message. Hopefully now I shall be rid of it.
ReplyDeleteHow do I edit the file? I am sorry, but I am a noob lol
ReplyDeleteYou can use nano as editor:
ReplyDeletesudo nano /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf
Is there any other issues caused by whoopsie?
ReplyDeleteFor a couple of years now I've been inundated by the upstream Internet provider which has breached my communications and caused havoc to my systems (I even recorded three different spectrum agents admitting to it, it's published on my site so I'll digress). I work in the I.T. field, in an effort to be able to use my end of the user agreement (i.e. taking my money and not delivering the service promised is profiteering or racketeering in my book), I am constantly having to change dns's, implement vpn's, utilize proxies and tors, and so much more. Although I share the internet connection with my mom and her computers are never attacked (despite the fact that I installed the same systems on her pc's) has me a bit hungry for more when I see errors such as "whooopsie".
So my long-winded preamble is to ask if you can update this page for any new information about whoopsie errors (even after a fresh install of various linux mint distributions)?
Thanks
To be honest, I haven't encountered any issues in more recent versions of various distributions.
DeleteThanks Mario for the response.
