** Description changed: + Impact: + Users are notified of crash files for which they do not have permission to read, subsequently they can see odd "permission denied" dialogs which creates an unpleasant experience. + + Test Case: + 1) Login in as a guest user + 2) In a terminal run 'xeyes &' + 3) Then run 'pkill -11 xeyes' + 4) Observe apport crash dialog and click X to close it + 5) Switch back to your regular user + 6) Observe a crash dialog for a "system crash", enter your password and then observe no apport crash dialog. (The original description indicates a permission denied message and this will happen if your user also has a .crash file that needs reporting, but that'd be a longer test case.) + + Regression Potential: + As this changes the upstart job for crash notification's a fair bit its possible that some crashes will not be reported. + + With the package from -proposed you will not receive a crash dialog for + the guest user's crash file. + A dialoge message is constantly coming up saying that a problem with ubuntu has occured. When I click send details, another error comes up saying: This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed. PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied') No other information is given.
