[Bug 202502] Re: apport should use whichever browser is open rather than using preferred browser

2008-05-07 Thread JustusWinter
Yeah, you might be right. I just tried to reproduce the effect but I
haven't found a reliable way to make an application crash in a way that
a crash report is written (by itself that's a good thing *sight*). I
tried so send some signals that trigger core dumps, but they left no
crash reports in /var/crash.

So I tried apport-cli --file-bug on some running program and it works as
expected when run as my unprivileged user but it fails to open a web
browser tab/window when being run as root. This seems closely related to
bug #198694, so I decided to hijack that bug instead of opening a new
one.

I can not recall if I was running apport-cli as root or not when I wrote
the above comment, but I think / hope that I have only done that if I
was asked to do so by apport-cli.

2008-05-06 Thread Rolf Leggewie
That is a kind of impossible and a dubious request IMO.  What do you do
if you have more than one browser open?  If you don't like your default
browser, then I suggest you change it.

Justus, your sounds like a different problem.  Please open a new bug.

Agreed.

Even worse, for me apport-cli fails to open a new firefox window / tab
if firefox is already running.
