Bug Description
As requested in bug 914220 apport should be blocking python crashes that are due to clients not receiving a reply. This is working in quantal and is tested by test_dbus_
[Impact]
Precise users are being notified of crashes that are not useful to developers and we don't want to receive. Receiving pop-up notifications for these crash reports decreases the user experience when using precise.
[Test Case]
1) Download 'test_python_
2) Execute 'python test_python_
3) Observe a test failure:
FAIL: test_dbus_
DBus.Error.NoReply with a running service
4) Install apport from precise-proposed
5) run the same test and observe the test passing:
Ran 7 tests in 28.111s
OK
[Regression Potential]
It is possible that apport would not generate crash reports for other types of python crashes but based off the code change it is not likely.
Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,
Accepted apport into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http:// launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ apport/ 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Testing/ EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification- failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
