Bug Description
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
2) apt-cache policy apport
apport:
Installed: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
Candidate: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
Version table:
*** 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 0
900 http://
100 /var/lib/
2.6.1-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://
3) What is expected to happen is when one generates a crash report in /var/crash via the terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https:/
Save As -> doc 97/XP/2003 -> and after LibreOffice crashes execute:
cd /var/crash && ubuntu-bug _usr_lib_
Apport should process the .crash file, and a Firefox window should pop up offering to report a bug on Launchpad.
4) What happens instead is it does not, nor does it give any other indication as to why it did not. Please see attached screencast for verification of this phenomenon. As well, this is prohibiting I and others (at least 2 others w/ LibreOffice crash bugs) from reporting valid crash bugs on Launchpad (or at least knowing why the crash report was not reported via Launchpad). This is a regression in Quantal as I was able to report against .crash files via apport (ex. https:/

- Apport not filing crash report for: ubuntu-bug - _usr_lib_libreoffice_program_soffice.bin.1000.crash + Apport not filing crash report for ubuntu-bug *.crash files |
Looks like "_usr_lib_" is a common part with bug #1078823 (which does not open the browser for reporting (silent abort))
