Public bug reported:

Occasionally I get a small window with some unspecified text along the
lines of "A system error occured" together with two buttons, "Ignore"
and "Report". Neither of these buttons does something noticeable, much
less there is some indication on what the problem might be. So I
investigated myself and found this in /var/log/syslog:

Nov  4 17:26:17 (machine name) systemd[1]: upower.service: Main process exited, 
code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Nov  4 17:26:17 (machine name) systemd[1]: upower.service: Unit entered failed 
state.
Nov  4 17:26:17 (machine name) systemd[1]: upower.service: Failed with result 
'core-dump'.
Nov  4 17:26:17 (machine name) systemd[1]: upower.service: Service hold-off 
time over, scheduling restart.

This is a pure desktop, so I guess a battery loading service has no
business here. It's running Ubuntu 15.10 AMD64, installed in about 2010
and updated for each release since then. Except for this occasional
error report (1 or 2 daily), the machine apparently works fine.
