Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
This is an enhancement request.
Currently when there are multiple failures to report, the Gnome applet
shows me one error at a time. I can't go back and forth in the list, my
options are 'submit' or not. What I think might be better is if there
are more than 2 failures, to display a window with all the failures
listed. Allow the user to select failures to "ignore", ones to "submit"
and ones to "merge" (or something along those lines).
Ideally the window will also let the user do a little big of digging if
they choose, for example looking at a snippet of the log showing the
failure (in cases where apport knows this). But just having a windows
that lists ALL the failures would be a big start.
Example: I recently upgraded Hardy to Lucid. During the upgrade there
were about 30 failures.
On first boot, I had the "crash detected" icon, which I clicked. I was
presented with a failure dialog, telling me I could submit the report or
not. After submitting the first, a second window popped up with a
different failure. And so on and so forth.
By about the 14th failure I figured I should do a little digging on the
command-line to see what happened and found the other 20 failures. This
resulted in 12 bug reports that were actually all related to the first
one, but it wasn't clear until I looked at the logs and saw them all
listed at one time. Seeing them all at once would have made it pretty
clear they were all Python-related.
Thanks!
