Ah, sorry, I thought you meant the core gzipping in apport itself, rather than in the GTK frontend. I saw a 'hanging' apport-gtk frontend on mdz's laptop last week as well, so this indeed seems to be an issue.
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 61730 No indication to the user that a core dump is in progress ** Summary changed: - no progress while gzipping core + no progress while gzipping core in apport-gtk ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: apport + Binary package hint: apport-gtk For very large core files (like firefox), there is no indication that apport is still running. 100% CPU is used while the window doesn't redraw. Perhaps a fork'd gzip is needed instead? -- no progress while gzipping core in apport-gtk https://launchpad.net/bugs/81979 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
