"Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error" message

GENERAL

Ubuntu 12.04 contains error reporting system named Apport that can send error information to Ubuntu center in case that something goes wrong on your system. Debugging program crashes without any automated tools has been pretty time consuming and hard for both developers and users, so that is the main reason why this system exists.
