This is interesting. Apport is disabled in the release itself, so this hook should not be getting triggered at all.

Now, it is possible to manually turn apport on post-release, but I can't tell if that's what happened here. In any case, even if that is done, we still don't want the gpu lockup script running.

This wouldn't be a big deal as it would just help people experiencing GPU lockups report more bugs to us, however it appears that at least in some cases this is getting triggered by the false GPU lockups, where the user does not experience any lockups at all. In those cases, this hook being triggered presents a continual annoyance to the users, and makes Ubuntu look less robust than it is. So, the script needs quelled.

Since it's not our intention for this script to be invoked in the release anyway, even if apport is enabled, I think the appropriate fix is to disable the udev rule that triggers this script. That should resolve this and a few other corner case problems that have cropped up.
