sil2100 asked me to look at the SRU of this for Ubuntu 18.04 and I tested something in Cosmic that I have a concern about.
On a cosmic server I installed apport-noui, which also installed whoopsie, I then used kill -11 and a .crash file was created in /var/crash but no .upload and .uploaded file were. I tried the same process again, but rebooted after installing apport- noui and that time the .upload and .uploaded files were created automatically. I haven't looked closely (I'll have a look later this week) but it seems like apport-autoreport should be restarted when whoopsie is installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778694 Title: In autoreport mode in whoopsie-preferences API, reports are not sent by whoopsie Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Bionic: New Bug description: [ Impact ] * The goal for autoreporting via whoopsie is to have a silent mode where whoopsie automatically reports crashes. However, this one requires apport-noui to be installed, which we don't by default. apport-noui is just a set of systemd unit starting whoopsie-upload-all (part of apport binary package). We should move the unit to apport package itself. [ Test Case ] * Install the new apport package from proposed * Set in g-c-c, privacy panel, to report bugs automatically * Make one program dumping a core dump * Wait for a while, you should have a .upload and .uploaded files in addition to the .crash one in /var/crash [ Regression potential ] The systemd units were in apport-noui previously, we moved them and made them conditional to whoopsie being installed. apport-noui is still useful by turning autoreport on, so people upgrading shouldn't have any impact or difference. The units have been renamed to make sense and avoid package files overwrite. ------------------------- There are 2 possible solutions: - promoting apport-noui to main, and seeding it. - or considering there is no reason anymore to have a separate apport-noui pacakge (no more phone factor), and so move the systemd units to apport, having a conditional file on whoopsie installed (no more dependency) and autoreport enabled, shipping those units binary package shipping those units (renamed to apport-autoreport.*) directly.
