To manage
Got it, I missed the difference between 1941 and 1946. Thanks for the
clarification.

So, what we're seeing is that 1657 ended, but 1941 and 1946 started at
the same time, roughly. hence 1941 got the lock and 1946 not. The run of
1657 took less than 20 seconds, so it seems to me 30 seconds are
probably fine, but we can go up to a minute.

Looking at the log file Daniel provided I'm not certain 30 seconds is
enough:
ERROR: apport (pid 1657) Mon Feb 5 12:02:48 2018: called for pid 923, signal 5,
core limit 0, dump mode 1
ERROR: apport (pid 1657) Mon Feb 5 12:02:48 2018: executable:

I added a merge proposal
https://code.launchpad.net/~juliank/apport/lp1746874/+merge/337558 that
simply makes apport wait for the lock instead of failing if apport is
already running. I made it time out after 30 seconds, I'd hope that's
enough.

+ then I noticed my machine doing it too...
This is despite:
$ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/core_*
In case it's not clear to all readers yet; Xwayland and gnome-shell are
co-dependent processes. If one crashes then the other will also crash.
So we need apport to be capable of handling both crashes simultaneously.

Turning core files into crash files after the fact is a bit too late in
my case. With Xwayland and gnome-shell both racing to write ~/core I
will still be missing one of them.

You could try passing a core file to apport when there is not a
graphical shell running via a command like the following:
/usr/share/apport/apport < $my-pretend.core
With that you should get a .crash file in /var/crash. Here's an example
where 11736 was a running xeyes process and core was
Information from 'journalctl -u apport' around the time of the core
file's creation would be useful or /var/log/apport.log if apport was
really running.

This might be an apport bug alone. Historically apport has had trouble
working without a graphical shell. And in all cases of this bug seen so
far it was when there wasn't a graphical shell running any more :)
