Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport


I am unable to report a bug on the kernel.

As a normal user:

eve:[~]% ubuntu-bug linux
hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_linux.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 635, in 
add_hooks_info
    symb['add_info'](self, ui)
  File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_linux.py", line 93, in add_info
    attach_wifi(report)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/hookutils.py", line 436, in 
attach_wifi
    report['WifiSyslog'] = 
recent_syslog(re.compile(r'(NetworkManager|modem-manager|dhclient|kernel):'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/hookutils.py", line 299, in 
recent_syslog
    for line in open('/var/log/syslog'):
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/syslog'

As the super-user:

eve:[~]% sudo ubuntu-bug linux
hook /usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_linux.py crashed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 635, in 
add_hooks_info
    symb['add_info'](self, ui)
  File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_linux.py", line 100, in add_info
    report['UnreportableReason'] = _('The running kernel is not an Ubuntu 
kernel')
NameError: global name '_' is not defined


Obviously, some kind of translation is being attempted and it is failing.

1)

eve:[~]% lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release:        10.04

2)

eve:[~]% apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 1.12-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1.12-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 1.12-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3)

 I expected to be able to report a bug

4)

I was not able to. And apport failed.
