I tested a bit more. I tried again with ubuntu-bug -w and selected thunderbird.
Today I directly get a visible and reacting sudo dialog when reporting a bug for thunderbird. I am very sure that I did not get this dialog the last time, only as described the broken unresponsive one. Because I also was a bit upset about the amounts of data about my system, my devices, my username, my ip address got attached to my bug... Anyway, not sure if this a bug in gnome/ gnome-shell rather than ubuntu- bug/apport itself... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935568 Title: after having a bug reported, locked screen, and coming back, ubuntu- bug -w leaves a gksudo dialog for dmesg open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1935568/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
