There's one catch though. Applications that crash during OS boot up
until apport-notifyd is started, they will not get tracked. My plan
is to later add some code in the daemon to, upon startup, look at any
crash reports that were generated.
If you are calling apport-gtk (or apport-kde) directly, you don't need
to pass the path for the .crash file directly. It should also take care
of reports generated when the notify daemon is not running that were
still not processed by apport (If I understood the code properly).
Ummm... I'm not sure about that. If time permits, I'll look back. But
right now, we call apport-bug on the events we receive over inotify. And
that is all .crash files.
Ubuntu does similar things.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/utopic/apport/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/apport-noui.upstart
apport-bug will internally call approriate helper UI.
Some time back you mentioned that root reports were not being tracked
by apport. That should not be the case. When apport sees a report
from a different uid, it triggers gksu. That'd mean we need to add
gksu/kdesudo to Recommends for apport. Can you test it ?
I would definitly use pkexec here instead of gksu/kdesudo. You should
have better integration in the different desktops.
Like I said in one of the previous mail, update-notifier from ubuntu is
doing the following:
if /usr/share/apport/apport-checkreports --system returns 0:
ask if user wants to report a system crash:
pkexec /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk
else if /usr/share/apport/apport-checkreports returns 0:
/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk
else
do nothing
They are asking about the system reports (opening a GTK window) because
pkexec on gnome-shell the thing is a bit intrusive.
This process has also the advantage of allowing the user to disable
reporting as apport-checkreports returns 2 is there are new rapports
but that reporting is disabled.
I'll look into it later. Thanks.
