[Bug 1746874] Re: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files)
This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.9-0ubuntu1 --- apport (2.20.9-0ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium * New upstream release: - apport/sandboxutils.py: when installing extra packages do not install the debug versions of them as this was installing gdb-dbg. If debug versions of a package are specifically required they can be passed as an extra-package. - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: when reusing a sandbox do not remove conflicting packages when they conflict with themselves, or when they conflict with but also provide a virtual package. - bin/apport-retrace: add a --no-stracktrace-source option that does not do the work of creating a StacktraceSource field in the retraced report thereby decreasing the time to retrace. - data/apport: wait for lock, with 30s timeout (LP: #1746874) -- Brian MurrayWed, 14 Feb 2018 10:21:20 -0800 ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746874 Title: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1746874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746874 Title: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1746874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1746874] Re: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files)
** Description changed: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be - /var/crash files). + /var/crash files). This issue was first mentioned in bug 1746653. But + then I noticed my machine doing it too... This is despite: $ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/core_* /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern:|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit:0 /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid:0 So really there are two problems: 1. ~/core files are created but no /var/crash/ files 2. Because they all have the same name (core_uses_pid == 0), when gnome-shell crashes as a result of an Xwayland crash, you can only get the core from one of them at most.

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.

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.

[Bug 1746874] Re: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files)
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 :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746874 Title: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1746874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1746874] Re: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files)
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be /var/crash files). This is despite: $ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/core_* /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern:|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit:0 /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid:0 So really there are two problems: 1. ~/core files are created but no /var/crash/ files 2. Because they all have the same name (core_uses_pid == 0), when gnome-shell crashes as a result of an Xwayland crash, you can only get the core from one of them at most.
