-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862717 Title: Automatic crash report bug reports opened in gedit rather than the browser Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If a crash report is triggered automatically (say from a program crash etc) then the Apport UI pops up asking whether to report this - if I choose to proceed, after about 30 seconds gedit pops up with a HTML document showing 'OpenID transaction in progress' - which is the login.launchpad.net openid page. Looking at the gedit document title this shows the URL which should have got loaded by firefox - and so it appears that gedit has been spawned instead of firefox to handle the xdg-open call to report the bug. From journalctl I can see that it is root spawning this xdg-open call: Feb 11 13:06:24 slate sudo[266010]: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/root ; USER=amurray ; ENV=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/xdg-open https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /dleyna-core/+filebug/4bc4c494-4c77-11ea-b34a- 002481e7f48a?field.title=package+libdleyna- core-1.0-5+%28not+installed%29+failed+to+install%2Fupgrade%3A+trying+to+overwrite+%27%2Fusr%2Flib%2Fx86_64 -linux-gnu%2Flibdleyna- core-1.0.so.5.0.0%27%2C+which+is+also+in+package+libdleyna- core-1.0-3%3Aamd64+0.6.0-1 And so I wonder if it is something to do with root's configuration for preferred applications (or not...) This does not occur when running ubuntu-bug from a terminal (since I assume in this case, the xdg-open call ends up coming from the users' own session).
