Knowing what the contents of /var/crash is would be helpful in determining which application crashed. For example: /var/crash/_usr_share_apport_apportcheckresume.1000.crash indicates the application /usr/share/apport/apportcheckresume crashed and I know that is a part of apport. (You could check via dpkg -S /usr/share/apport/apportcheckresume.) Then I can use apt-cache policy to see if apport is installed: apport: Installed: 2.5.2-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 2.5.2-0ubuntu4 -- Brian Murray Ubuntu Bug Master -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
