If there is a need for a 3rd party package for it, it means that whoopsie-preferences is broken for quite some years: the automatic option was present in g-c-c for years in ubuntu, and just use whoopsie- preferences API to turn this automatic send mode. Note that the API doesn't report any error in the default install configuration.
As you are familiar with the internal of whoopsie and apport, do you mind having a look? As this only introduces a "never" report mode, and the "auto" one was here since whoopsie integration? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774597 Title: G-C-C privacy option don't allow sending manual report Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-control-center source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] * The current label "Manual" is in fact shutting down whoopsie completely and not providing any graĥical way to set manual reports (which is our default on 18.04) * We want to SRU gnome-initial-setup for 18.04.1 so that sending reports is linked to sending error report: opt-in -> automated report is set; opt-out -> no report is set. We need a way to represent those 3 states of error reporting: - never - manual - auto [ Test Case ] * Install new gnome-control-center version, go to the privacy panel * Click on the error reporting line * In the model window, play with the switch and toggle, and check in d-feet the whoopsie state. Basically you can't adapt error reporting mode (manual/auto) if you decided to not report error mode. * Check as well that the main UI toggles between "never/manual/auto" [ Regression potential ] * This code would affect the privacy g-c-c panel. * Note that we have 3 new strings to translate ("never" is already translated in G-C-C). Those are: - "Send error reports to Canonical" - "Send reports automatically" - "Show a dialog for each error before reporting" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1774597/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
