Yes I understood that, that's why I explained a bit about jack and that I never saw an apport activity or the problem with the dmesg dialog before just because of jackd.
So, I deleted the /var/crash stuff, and locked the screen and back in, as you suggested, but no problem appeared. I could provoke a jack crash again by switching my sound device off while jack was running. I get crash reports in /var/crash but no hanging dmesg dialog as described in the original report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935568 Title: after having a bug reported, locked screen, and coming back, ubuntu- bug -w leaves a gksudo dialog for dmesg open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1935568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
