[Karl-Philipp Richter <krichter722@xxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

This is annoying e.g.

  * if you just want to skip the error as fast as possible (e.g. after reboot into a mainline kernel which caused a dkms to fail in dpkg and you know that you don't want to report this because you checked the logs evaluated the problem to be unsolvable due to changes in kernel API). There's no sense to require privileges to give the opportunity to get past the "Ubunu experienced a problem" dialog - make that "Ubuntu experienced a problem with <package or binary name here>"
  * if you're used to a bunch of error messages at system start[1] and to click, let's say, five times on cancel in the "Ubuntu experienced a problem" dialog, you might more easily click one time too often than if the dialog tells you the name (proposal for text change see above)
