apport creates .crash files in /var/crash which contain information about the crashing application, then after data collection is done a zero byte .upload file is created corresponding to the .crash file. This is a signal to whoopsie to upload the .crash file to the Ubuntu Error Tracker, and whoopsie then creates a zero byte .uploaded file in /var/crash with the same name as the .crash and .upload file. So empty files in /var/crash is normal.
If you are running a release other than Utopic, which will become Ubuntu 14.10, you can run the command "grep whoopsie /var/log/syslog" to find information about whoopsie's status and OOPS_IDs for the crashes you've uploaded to the Error Tracker. You can also goto System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Diagnostics to: 1) verify that "Send error reports" is checked 2) click "Show Previous Reports" to see the crashes you've reported Unlike when crashes are reported to Launchpad, there is no user interaction (like a web browser page opening) after the .crash file is uploaded to the Error Tracker. So its entirely possible they are reported and you just don't realize it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308169 Title: apport-bug on .crash file does not send report To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1308169/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
