Public bug reported: I've switched the apport-noui.path systemd file from:
PathChanged=/var/crash to PathExistsGlob=/var/crash/*.crash I've done this because with PathChanged it seemed to me that the whoopsie-upload-all, called by apport-noui.service, would be called when any file (e.g. .upload, .uploaded) were created in /var/crash. Naturally, this seemed excessive to me and PathExistsGlob seems like a better fit. Additionally, it is worth noting that the following from the systemd.path documentation: "If a path already exists (in case of PathExists= and PathExistsGlob=) or a directory already is not empty (in case of DirectoryNotEmpty=) at the time the path unit is activated, then the configured unit is immediately activated as well. Something similar does not apply to PathChanged= and PathModified=." Given that it appears with PathChanged the apport-noui service would never be run during boot up, again not what we want. However, making these changes seems to have caused some strange test failures with the apport's tests. https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/wily-adt-apport/ ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Martin Pitt (pitti) Status: New ** Tags: wily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478115 Title: using PathExistsGlob in apport-noui.path results in test failures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1478115/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
