** Description changed:
- The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as
- the root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting
- that information. This works fine in a graphical environment but not in
- a non-graphical one.
+ [Impact]
+ The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as the
root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting that
information. This works fine in a graphical environment but not in a
non-graphical one.
- N.B. you first need to create a /var/log/plymouth-debug.log file for the
- plymouth apport package hook to actually trigger this.
-
- ubuntu@disco:~$ ubuntu-bug plymouth
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) ssh into an Ubuntu Desktop install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or Ubuntu 20.10
+ 2) sudo touch /var/log/plymouth-debug.log
+ 3) ubuntu@disco:~$ ubuntu-bug plymouth
*** Collecting problem information
The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the
application. This might take a few minutes.

polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
This incident has been reported.
- Subsequently, bug reports from servers will contain less information.
+ With the version of apport from -proposed you will not see the
+ "AUTHENTICATION FAILED" error and the plymouth-debug.log file will be
+ collected.
+
+ [Where Problems Could Occur]
+ It's possible that the spawned pkttyagent process does not get cleaned up
properly and could be left running. When testing the SRU we should confirm it
is not still running.
