Public bug reported: Binary package hint: yelp
Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty Alpha 5 with several hundred package updates applied. I had asked for help from the Clock applet, and I noticed the help didn't match the applet, so I chose "Report a Problem", which started up a browser report for something called "yelp". I double-checked the About menu and was told that the application was "Help 2.25.1", not "yelp". I did a process listing, and didn't see anything named "yelp" running, only "gnome-help". So I read the "yelp" man page and then started "yelp" from the command line, and it started the Gnome help application (a second copy). Is the program "gnome-help" called "yelp" in the packaging and documentation? That's confusing. I did a process listing, and I could see the yelp I had run from the command line: 4 0 5840 4796 20 0 121652 50904 poll Sl pts/0 0:03 yelp I did some searches in the new Gnome help window, then went back to the previous Clock help window, and at some point the yelp I had run crashed: I/O error : Is a directory I/O error : Is a directory [1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) yelp The top menu bar showed a "!" icon telling me to click on it to report a crash. I tried to do that; the report a crash application apparently itself crashed and I couldn't submit anything that way. So I started yelp from terminal again, e.g. just typed "yelp" at the bash prompt. When yelp opened, I tried "Report a Problem". and I got this mess: r...@idallen-jaunty5:~# yelp & [1] 6380 I/O error : Is a directory I/O error : Is a directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 264, in <module> app.run_argv() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 325, in run_argv return self.run_report_bug() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 298, in run_report_bug self.collect_info() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 425, in collect_info icthread.exc_raise() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/REThread.py", line 37, in run self._retval = self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 66, in thread_collect_info report.anonymize() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 932, in anonymize replacements[os.uname()[1]] = 'hostname' UnboundLocalError: local variable 'replacements' referenced before assignment Error in sys.excepthook: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 85, in apport_excepthook os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT|os.O_EXCL), 'w') OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/_usr_share_apport_apport-gtk.0.crash' Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 264, in <module> app.run_argv() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 325, in run_argv return self.run_report_bug() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 298, in run_report_bug self.collect_info() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 425, in collect_info icthread.exc_raise() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/REThread.py", line 37, in run self._retval = self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 66, in thread_collect_info report.anonymize() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 932, in anonymize replacements[os.uname()[1]] = 'hostname' UnboundLocalError: local variable 'replacements' referenced before assignment yelp: Installed: 2.25.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.25.1-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.25.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/yelp Package: yelp 2.25.1-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: yelp Uname: Linux 2.6.28-8-generic i686 ** Affects: yelp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- yelp run from command line cannot report a problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to yelp in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
