Title:
apport does not report rhythmbox crash
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Unfortunately, apport does not report rhythmbox crash. If Rhythmbox
crashes, you will see the apport GUI offerring you to report a bug.
Upon accepting to report the crash, nothing happens. The crash data
stays in /var/log crash but there is no summary of a bug to be
reported and Launchpad does not open up in the browser.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open rhythmbox
2) Induce crash of rhythmbox by using:
$ kill -SEGV <pid>
What happens:
Apport GUI asks if you would like to report the issue. Upon accepting,
nothing happens.
Expected:
I expect being able to create a bug report from a crash. I am basing myself
on previous experience with Apport and with documentation which states:
Apport is a system which
intercepts crashes right when they happen the first time,
gathers potentially useful information about the crash and the OS
environment,
...
presents a UI that informs the user about the crash and instructs them on how
to proceed,
...
If the user leaves the "Send error report" checkbox enabled, Apport uploads
the collected information to the bug tracking system. After that it opens the
packages' bug filing page with a sensible default bug title and leaves the rest
of bug filing process to the web UI.
