Here's a workaround to make alerts stop. (It does not stop related event from happening, it just stops you from being notified about it. )

Open this file for editing:

sudo gedit /etc/kerneloops.conf

You can comment it out as follows. This will prevent you being alerted to *any* kernel oops event:

# allow-submit = ask

Another alternative seems to be to leave the line active, but change the value from "ask" to "yes". I presume that in this case it is e-mailing all the kernel "oops" reports back to the kerneloops website, but without alerting you about them. I confirmed that it also stops the alerts, but I can't confirm if it still sends the emails.

Either way, you'll have to restart the "kerneloops" service after you make the change. (Rebooting would do the trick, too)

sudo /etc/init.d/kerneloops restart
