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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in 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 Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I reported two bugs today, and both times, after having finished reporting the bug, locking my screen, and logging back in, suddenly there was a dialog asking for my sudo password so it can execute dmesg. But I could neither hit cancel nor could I enter my password, it apperaded that anything I did, especially clicks, made the window *below* the dialog react. First time I solved it by rebooting (because I had some packages to upgrade anyway), second time by killing gnome-shell and letting it restart. This dialog definitely did not appear in the process of reporting the bug, the first time it appeared on screen was minutes after completing the bugreports in launchpad, plus locking and unlocking the screen afterwards. Might also be a problem with gnome-shell or gksudo(?), but it only ever happened to me when using ubuntu-bug -w.
