Do I need to do anything about this?

Is this a machine that you've recently configured? The url you're using for the graphics drivers PPA is missing the ppa prefix:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu bionic main

No....this has been running 18.04 since it was released. Is for the Nvidia graphics? That was added about 2 months ago.

I "unticked" that one. The one that you posted as correct was already there. I do not get the error now when doing the sudo apt-get update, but I still get the error message when booting up.

What's the error message when you boot?

The kernel module from the PPA isn't signed, so if you're using Secure Boot you'll get a warning message about that. You can either ignore that, turn off Secure Boot, or self-sign the module.

Unless the error message is something else, of course.

It does not give me an error message: it just says that there is an error and gives me the option to report it or close the dialogue box. I am not using secure boot. How do I align the module? (Never heard of that before.)

Those crash report messages could be about anything. And they're not always about a crash at the time you get the message. And if the bug report doesn't get acknowledged by some machine on the Internet somewhere it will keep nagging you about it forever. A recurrent message every time you log in could be about a single application crash weeks ago. /var/crash is where they get put, I think.

Self-signing modules puts a Machine Owner Key in your UEFI certificate store. I did it once for the nvidia module and Virtualbox just to go through the process. It's a bit of a pain, but not too arduous.
