I'm not sure how you would get it in a state where reporting=false and
autoreport=true. These are the dbus settings for the 3 possible states
in hirsute with the new version of gnome-control-center.
"Never"
WhoopsiePreferences
node /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences {
interface com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences {
properties:
readonly b ReportCrashes = false;
readonly b ReportMetrics = true;
readonly b AutomaticallyReportCrashes = false;
};
};
"Automatic"
bdmurray@clean-hirsute-amd64:~$ gdbus introspect --system --only-properties
--dest com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences --object-path
/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences
node /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences {
interface com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences {
properties:
readonly b ReportCrashes = true;
readonly b ReportMetrics = true;
readonly b AutomaticallyReportCrashes = true;
};
};
"Manual"
bdmurray@clean-hirsute-amd64:~$ gdbus introspect --system --only-properties
--dest com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences --object-path /com/ubuntu/
WhoopsiePreferences
node /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences {
interface com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences {
properties:
readonly b ReportCrashes = true;
readonly b ReportMetrics = true;
readonly b AutomaticallyReportCrashes = false;
};
};

Title:
diagnostics panel can leave automatic crash reporting enabled

Bug description:
* Impact
If one selects "Automatic" in the "Send error reports to Canonical"
portion of "Problem Reporting" the file /var/lib/apport/autoreport is
created. However, if you later switch to "Never" the file is not
removed but the panel continues to show "Never".
* Test case
- change the automatic report option in settings to automatic and then
to never, the /var/lib/apport/autoreport file should be removed
* Regression potential
The patch modifies the whoopsie configuration, check that the service
status is right for the 3 auto/manual/never options
