[Bug 315966] Re: Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 314263 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314263 As it happens, Matt Zimmerman recently reported this very problem, but I was unable to reproduce as normal user. I trawled through the apport code, and there was simply *nothing* using file:// URLs. However, I do use gnome-open URL, so a bug there would automatically apply to apport. I can confirm that gnome-open rewrites URLs when being called as apport does for system crashes: sudo sudo -H -u '#1000' gnome-open https://launchpad.net/ubuntu I. e. apport-gtk runs as root (first sudo), but calls gnome-open as the original user ($SUDO_USER) in order to get the real user's gconf preferences. This command opens file:///ubuntu in Firefox. Thus I mark this as a duplicate. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 314263 regression - URIs opened with firefox %u load as local files (file:///...) -- Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I read in another bug report that this only happens with crash reports that are owned by root, can you confirm or deny that? -- Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 315966] Re: Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls
I just tried with root, on an available crash report I had. It opened LP as file://... Unfortunately, when I tried on an user crash, I got a pop-up stating libxc1 was obsolete, and apport refused to submit the report (I have just run 'sudo apt-get update). This puts me in a bind, right now: if I install the updated libxcb1, synaptic states it will remove pretty much the WHOLE of Gnome... I will try to find something that does not depend on libxcb. Meanwhile, an user crash I submitted earlier today (i.e., non-root) worked fine, so I guess indeed this is tied to root. -- Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Martin - can you comment as to whether or not this bug is in apport?

[Bug 315966] Re: Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls
I can confirm this behaviour. I am not sure what causes it. Brian suggested bug 314263 as a possibility (same results), but I could not reproduce. This has been happening, for me, for some days/weeks now. Jaunty, fully up-to-date. It happened at least since apport-0.121. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- Apport opens crash files as file:/// urls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
