Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
I can't say for how long this problem occurs, but since some weeks
reporting crashes in kde (running up to date karmic) does not work
anymore. When an application crashes, apport pops up and asks if I want
to send a crash report. When I agree, it collects data about the crash
and asks me again if I want to send the report. Normally, the browser
would open a little later, opening launchpad. But this does not work
anymore - just nothing happens. The apport process stays in memory.
After some time, there are more and more apport-kde processes, e.g.
after about 5h uptime:
1000 4311 0.0 2.7 441932 84652 ? S 17:56 0:02
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/apport/apport-kde
1000 4322 0.0 1.3 262188 41712 ? S 17:56 0:00
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/apport/apport-kde
1000 4412 0.0 1.3 262180 41712 ? S 17:57 0:00
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/apport/apport-kde
1000 4918 0.0 1.3 262188 41720 ? S 18:00 0:00
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/apport/apport-kde
I tried to find out with strace what these processes are doing:
Process 4311 attached - interrupt to quit
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>
It only helps to kill these processes with pkill.
