** Description changed: + [Impact] + + This bug makes it more difficult for Wayland users to report bugs with + apport. When a Wayland user tries to use the -w,--window option, apport + fails silently. We do not want users to face a high barrier to + submitting bug reports. + + The patch for this bug adds a message explaining that the -w,--window + option cannot be used on Wayland, and suggests a method for finding the + window's PID instead. + + [Test Plan] + + * Log on to Ubuntu on Wayland. You can check that $XDG_SESSION_TYPE=="wayland" in your current session. + * Open a terminal, and run `ubuntu-bug -w`. + * Click on any other window, and observe that the apport UI will not respond. + + [Where problems could occur] + + The patch uses os.getenv to check that $XDG_SESSION_TYPE is set to + 'wayland'. If either of these strings in the patch were wrong, or the + environment variable was not used in the target release, the condition + would likely never be true. + + [Original Description] + I want to report a Bug about the application Studio Controls. As I did it already quite a few times, I run "ubuntu-bug -w", get a message that I can select the window of the app I want to report a bug about after closing this message. I close the message with a click on the appropriate button. I click on the window of the application "Studio Controls" that I want to report a bug about. Nothing happens. I wait for a few minutes. Still nothing happens. In the console where I started ubuntu-bug -w I see the following message: (apport-gtk:11537): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 20:06:41.384: gdk_wayland_window_set_dbus_properties_libgtk_only: assertion 'GDK_IS_WAYLAND_WINDOW (window)' failed - What I expect: Usaully when I use this procedure, after a relatively short while a new message window pops up asking me if the bug should be reported and showing me the data that is sent to Launchpad. I tried other applications, too, same effect.
