Public bug reported: When using "Examine locally" after "ubuntu-bug /var/crash/..." and selecting to run a gdb session, the following error dialog pops up:
Error while creating the child process: Failed to execute child process "apport-retrace --gdb '/var/crash/....crash'" (No such file or directory) It looks like apport is calling the process wrong: instead of as a command plus arguments, the whole string might get used as command. It works fine from the shell. (btw: it would be nice, if copy'n'paste would work for the text of such popups) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: apport 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-34.60-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: amd64 CrashReports: 640:0:114:198430:2014-08-17 16:42:49.715965167 +0200:2014-08-17 16:42:49.711965167 +0200:/var/crash/susres.2014-08-17_16:42:49.718598.crash 640:1000:114:185625:2014-08-20 18:38:13.700118400 +0200:2014-08-20 18:38:13.520118396 +0200:/var/crash/_usr_bin_redshift.1000.crash 640:1000:114:5702851:2014-08-26 02:18:55.313115119 +0200:2014-08-26 02:19:13.153115552 +0200:/var/crash/_usr_bin_vim.gnome.1000.crash CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Tue Aug 26 02:20:45 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-28 (819 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-05-01 (116 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.apport.crashdb.conf: 2014-05-07T17:51:23.631588 ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug third-party-packages trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361447 Title: Cannot examine crash report locally: "Error while creating the child process": (No such file or directory) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1361447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
