Public bug reported: I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 alpha2 amd64 with all the daily System Updates. apport-kde version 1.94-0ubuntu1
VLC and OpenOffice packages often crash on me (known bugs) and the yellow-orange crash icon appears in the panel. When I click on it apport-kde displays a small window saying something crashed. If I click [Details] a textarea appears in this, but I've never seen anything in it since upgrading! apport-kde seems busy running GDB: % ps alx | grep 1217 0 1000 12717 1669 20 0 552108 62532 poll_s Sl ? 0:03 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/apport/apport-kde 0 1000 12767 12717 20 0 518252 457288 - R ? 0:20 gdb --batch --ex file /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --ex core-file /tmp/tmp6U7936 --ex set backtrace limit 2000 --ex p -99 --ex bt full --ex p -99 --ex thread apply all bt full --ex p -99 --ex info registers --ex p -99 --ex x/16i $pc --ex p -99 --ex print __abort_msg->ms , but I've left its window up for a while and nothing's ever appeared in Details. Expected results 1. At least show "Gathering info" at first. 2. I think apport-kde should always tell me, e.g. "libreoffice/program/soffice.bin crashed", even without clicking Details. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948643 Title: apport-kde Details field is always blank To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/948643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
