For applications that are not packaged, the last message in /var/log/apport.log is: ERROR: apport (pid 4415) Mon Nov 25 17:52:11 2013: executable does not belong to a package, ignoring This makes very confusing diagnosing why the core was not generated, and is very hard to track down how the particular ulimit of the application was configured, so it would be better to add a message telling the core dump won't be generated because the limit is 0. Basically the suggested change is: if limit == '0': + error_log('skipping core dump writing, current limit is 0') return ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: apport 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.6 [modified: usr/share/apport/apport] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-41.64~precise1-generic 3.5.7.21 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-41-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.6 Architecture: amd64 CrashReports: 664:1000:133:0:2013-11-25 11:26:18.943268131 +0100:2013-11-25 11:26:18.943268131 +0100:/var/crash/_usr_bin_pidgin.1000.upload 640:1000:133:9780109:2013-11-25 11:26:16.687254000 +0100:2013-11-25 11:26:19.963279496 +0100:/var/crash/_usr_bin_pidgin.1000.crash 600:122:133:0:2013-11-25 18:11:42.092417577 +0100:2013-10-16 17:18:00.112172935 +0200:/var/crash/_usr_bin_pidgin.1000.uploaded Date: Mon Nov 25 18:16:02 2013 MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-24 (550 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1254804/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
