Extended point one with the individual steps. ** Description changed:
[ Impact ] apport-autoreport.service fails if auto-reporting is disabled: ``` $ systemctl status apport-autoreport.service × apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apport-autoreport.service; static) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2024-06-13 21:55:08 CEST; 1h 9min ago TriggeredBy: ● apport-autoreport.timer ● apport-autoreport.path Process: 1059564 ExecStart=/usr/share/apport/whoopsie-upload-all --timeout 20 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1059564 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 86ms Jun 13 21:55:08 host systemd[1]: Starting apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled...

Jun 13 21:55:08 host systemd[1]: Failed to start apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled. ``` This service failure might mislead user thinking that there is a problem. [ Test Plan ] - 1. Disable auto-reporting in the system setting + 1. Disable auto-reporting in the system setting: + * open gnome-control-center or unity-control-center + * Switch to "Security & Privacy" panel + * Select "Diagnosticts" tab + * unselect "Send error reports to Canonical" 2. Produce a crash, e.g. by running divide-by-zero from chaos-marmosets 3. Check that apport-autoreport.service is failing as above 4. Upgrade Apport to the fixed version 5. Restart apport-autoreport.service 6. apport-autoreport.service should exit successfully [ Where problems could occur ] This code change touches the auto-reporting part. Failures there could lead to less bugs being forwarded to the error tracker. This might be noticeable when looking at the number of submissions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2069360 Title: apport-autoreport.service fails if autoreporting is disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/2069360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
