Yeah. Congrats. Now do a check to make sure everything is up to date, and
every unused leftover is cleaned:

sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y
autoremove && sudo apt-get -y autoclean

(I know, brutal, and if you feel uncomfortable with the forced YES
responses, just remove the -y - but I've been using that for years now and
it keeps my systems nice and clean)

That's a bit trickier. As Olivier says, you say that you don't want to
collect data for sending blah blah blah... But there's a more brutal and
definitive way to stop it.

cd /etc/default
vi apport

And in that file, make sure you have "enabled=0"

(the default value is "enabled=1")

Change it to 0 if it's at 1. That will effectively disable that error
reporting service.

Of course, then you won't see system errors when they happen. :) This is
not necessarily an issue. Sometimes it's just a component of the OS (likely
of GNOME) that failed and was restarted...

Cheers,
Gilles
