"Comment out line 23 of /etc/apport/crashdb.conf" is not particularly straightforward. One thing that would mitigate this is if the users could still run one of the following commands to manually submit a bug report about a given crash: 1) 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/application.crash'; 2) and even more so, 'apport-cli -c /var/crash/app.crash' (as for now, it quietly exits without explanation after pressing the 'S' key instead of sending a crash report, as stated in duplicate bug #992064). The fact that this is also disabled by the crashdb settings is a tad inconvenient. I think the manual command should be allowed to work even post-release. --- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: apport 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: 017452a27eca3c8b498abbfa5ef91db9 CheckboxSystem: ecaaad6fa1e0799a0aa1126bf620f39e Date: Fri May 4 17:17:43 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.1) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2011-11-08 (178 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
