Public bug reported: Apport-gtk fails to collect data as normal user when root/sudo password is not cached. When I run apport-collect <bugnumber> for the first time after I logged in, apport hangs on collecting data and waits without end. When I press ctrl-C, a gksudo dialog shows asking me for my password, but when I enter it, nothing happens. When I run apport again, the situation repeats. When I run ps -fe |grep apport, it shows the following process: azrael 13673 1 0 22:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gksu --message <span weight="bold" size="larger">Proszę wprowadzić hasło, aby uzyskać dostęp do raportów o problemach w systemie</span> /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk
When I press ctrl-C and run apport using sudo in the command line, I can finally collect the data for the bug, but sometimes it fails too. --- ApportVersion: 1.92-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64+mac (20120214) Package: apport 1.92-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-16.25-generic 3.2.6 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-16-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected precise ** Tags added: apport-collected precise ** Description changed: Apport-gtk fails to collect data as normal user when root/sudo password is not cached.
