Okay, I've tested my theory some more by doing the following. I set APPORT_REPORT_DIR in /etc/init/whoopsie.conf to /crashes a directory I created with permissions 770 and then started whoopsie. I saw the following in my log file.
Jul 22 15:31:05 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[6728]: whoopsie 0.2.34 starting up. Jul 22 15:31:05 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[6728]: Using lock path: /crashes/whoopsie_lock Jul 22 15:31:05 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[6728]: Could not create lock file: Bad file descriptor Jul 22 15:31:05 ubuntu-phablet whoopsie[6730]: Could not read directory (13): /crashes The "Could not read directory" message comes from the monitor_directory code in monitor.c, so this is unrelated to how whoopsie logs or becomes a daemon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1340604 Title: [phone] crash files are only uploaded on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/+bug/1340604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
