Fixing this (the permissions of the .crash file) in the apport code for recoverable_problem is not possible given who recoverable_problem is running as.
I tried having recoverable_problem use os.chown(report_path, pidstat.st_uid, gid) and this ended up creating a crash in recoverable_problem. Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/apport/recoverable_problem", line 85, in <module> main() File "/usr/share/apport/recoverable_problem", line 77, in main os.chown(report_path, pidstat.st_uid, gid) OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/crash/_usr_share_click_preins talled_com.ubuntu.filemanager_0.3.260_lib_arm-linux-gnueabihf_bin_filemanager.32 011.crash' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361417 Title: recoverable problem crash files created which whoopsie cannot read To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1361417/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
