Tried to find out a little more regarding this. ubuntu-bug just spawns an ubuntu-kde process, as it should; when killing ubuntu-bug ubuntu-kde stays in the system, so that's not the problem.
The problem is that ubuntu-kde, after trying to send, seems to freeze/halt in a poll(): poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 4, 18779) = 1 ([{fd=8, revents=POLLIN}]) read(8, "\34\257\311 \247\1\0\0\325\1\0\0\237\337\340\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0P\317)\1\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 64 read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 4, 18726) = 1 ([{fd=8, revents=POLLIN}]) read(8, "\34K\311 \247\1\0\0\333\1\0\0\271\337\340\0\0\320)\1\0\0\0\0P\317)\1\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 64 read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) read(8, 0x29f25e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 4, 18699^C <unfinished ...> Process 2869 detached This last poll() never finishes, probably because it waits for GUI input when all windows are gone. During this, apport-bug just stays around wait()ing for the apport-kde process. This happens after apport-kde just sent the bug report; the next step would be opening the browser, which apport-cli perfectly succeeds to do. -- [karmic] in KDE apport does not open the browser to report a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
