This is the minimal patch that fixes the problem with one time starts and the documentation of it in /etc/default/apport
** Description changed: + This bug is preventing the Ubuntu Bug Squad from using one time apport crash reports at present. + The one time enabling has been fixed in Lucid in version 1.9.4-0ubuntu1 + + TEST CASE (thanks hggdh): + make sure /etc/default/apport is 0 + open gedit + send a SIGSEGV + should not show apport-gtk + upgrade to -proposed package + open gedit + send a SIGSEGV + should now show apport-gtk + + ------------------------------------------- + Binary package hint: apport /etc/default/apport says: - # set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it - # you can temporarily override this with - # sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start - enabled=0 + # set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it + # you can temporarily override this with + # sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start + enabled=0 but if you try it, that command fails: - $ sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start - Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) - utility, e.g. service apport start + $ sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start + Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) + utility, e.g. service apport start - Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an - Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start apport - start: Job failed to start + Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an + Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start apport + start: Job failed to start Please fix the comment. (I haven't managed to find a way to force apport to start without editing /etc/default/apport, i.e. 'sudo force_start=1 start apport' also fails.)
