Public bug reported: When a crash report exists, I am greeted at system start-up with a windows that says: "There is a system problem. Do you want to report it now?" It does not give any clue about what that problem is.
I expect that window to show what problem it is referring to. For example, I had an updating issue with a package from an external repository (MariaDB in my case), which was easily solved by following the suggestions made by apt-get. So there was no issue. However, at the next system start I was confronted with this "problem" that was not a problem. Only by looking in /var/crash/, I could see that it had to be this issue. Also, this window leaves me the choice between filing a report (bad option in this case) or cancel, which means postponing the report (also a bad option). I would like the opportunity to see that the problem presented at start- up is one I already solved, and NOT report it. Preferably in or from that same start-up window. I managed to delete the problem report by deleting the file in /var/crash/, but that is not exactly newbie- friendly. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 $ apt-cache policy apport apport: Installed: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Candidate: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Version table: *** 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-security/main i386 Packages 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319324 Title: Problem report keeps the user in the dark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1319324/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
