Public bug reported: >From time to time I'm seeing strange error popups under Ubuntu's 12.10 Unity. These always say:
This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed. TypeError(Error('Incorrect padding',),) I have no idea what triggered these or where they are coming from. They are a nuisance. I always have to close the popup. Sometimes it's paranoid, happening like every 5 seconds then it won't happen for hours, then again.
