Even after applying this change, if you still have stuff in /var/crash/
apport will bug you to file those.  So do `sudo rm /var/crash/*.crash`
to clear it out.

You don't need to install everything from proposed, only xdiagnose.
Make sure to reboot after installing it, because the udev rules need to
be re-read.  Or, if you don't want to reboot, run
`sudo service udev restart`.

And note this change is only disabling the gpu lockup apport detector.
That's the one that pops up after you reboot from a system hang, that
says "Did your system recently lockup and require a hard reboot?"

If the popups you're seeing do *not* say that, and /var/crash is empty,
then you have some different problem with apport.
