The way to disable apport is 'sudo /etc/init.d/apport stop' (for the current session) or to uninstall the apport package (permanently).
However, I'm a bit concerned that it takes so long -- creating the 150 MB coredump of a running Firefox takes about 4 seconds here. And as long as you are developing your own software, apport should notice and not create a report any more (this should now also work for interpreted scripts since version 0.20). Which kind of program do you develop, where is the executable, and does apport create a report for it? Also, I will add some safeguards so that the exception mentioned in the apport log does not happen. I would just have liked to understand the actual cause, but if it's difficult to reproduce, then a lower-level fix seems adequate, too. I was not able to provoke this situation. -- Leaving report closed crashed apport-gtk. https://launchpad.net/bugs/59993 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
