Public bug reported: This is annoying e.g.
* if you just want to skip the error as fast as possible (e.g. after reboot into a mainline kernel which caused a dkms to fail in dpkg and you know that you don't want to report this because you checked the logs evaluated the problem to be unsolvable due to changes in kernel API). There's no sense to require privileges to give the opportunity to get past the "Ubunu experienced a problem" dialog - make that "Ubuntu experienced a problem with <package or binary name here>" * if you're used to a bunch of error messages at system start[1] and to click, let's say, five times on cancel in the "Ubuntu experienced a problem" dialog, you might more easily click one time too often than if the dialog tells you the name (proposal for text change see above) --- [1] That shouldn't happen in an ideal world, but is reality for almost every Ubuntu release for the first weeks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: apport-gtk 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Uname: Linux 3.16.7-031607-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl zcommon znvpair ApportLog: Error: [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/var/log/apport.log' ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Nov 1 01:20:45 2014 PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: apport UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug utopic -- 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/1388289 Title: apport doesn't tell the name of the binary or package which crashed before privileges are gained Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is annoying e.g. * if you just want to skip the error as fast as possible (e.g. after reboot into a mainline kernel which caused a dkms to fail in dpkg and you know that you don't want to report this because you checked the logs evaluated the problem to be unsolvable due to changes in kernel API).
