Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
There are applications - typically skype and gaim - that crash often and
restart without interfering with my work, however that crash popup and
that bomb icon in the systray are annoying: I know it crashes, I already
checked, other people already reported the crash, where is "do not ask
this anymore" button? We should be able to at least "snooze" the alarm
for say a month - is it possible to do this manually right now?
When I click on the "bomb" icon, a popup is offered asking if I want to
send debug information or not. There should be a checkbox or a button
saying "don't ask me this question for this application anymore", or
maybe "for this bug anymore" when a way to detect duplicates will
finally be decided. BTW I offer to help in the latter since I work in
programming language semantics, contact me if you wish. There should
also be a checkbox saying "don't ask me this question for a while".
The situation right now is not nice for the image of ubuntu in the
world: I log in with somebody new to ubuntu watching my screen, and
suddenly a couple of popups come out saying that the world is crashing
down - this is not nice - maybe I experience one such message for every
login since crash information is left in /var/crash or this is already
handled and the question is not repeated twice for the same crash
information? If so I should open a separate bug.
