Public bug reported: Unfortunately, apport does not report rhythmbox crash. If Rhythmbox crashes, you will see the apport GUI offerring you to report a bug. Upon accepting to report the crash, nothing happens. The crash data stays in /var/log crash but there is no summary of a bug to be reported and Launchpad does not open up in the browser.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Open rhythmbox 2) Induce crash of rhythmbox by using: $ kill -SEGV <pid> What happens: Apport GUI asks if you would like to report the issue. Upon accepting, nothing happens. Expected: I expect being able to create a bug report from a crash. I am basing myself on previous experience with Apport and with documentation which states: Apport is a system which intercepts crashes right when they happen the first time, gathers potentially useful information about the crash and the OS environment, ... presents a UI that informs the user about the crash and instructs them on how to proceed, ... If the user leaves the "Send error report" checkbox enabled, Apport uploads the collected information to the bug tracking system. After that it opens the packages' bug filing page with a sensible default bug title and leaves the rest of bug filing process to the web UI. - This last part does not happen.
