Reporting a bug fails because of error message "Invalid core dump"

[Mathias Schindler]

After starting my desktop, I received a message that (I believe) gnome-shell encountered an issue and I confirmed to send this report to ubuntu. However, the submission process failed because of the following error message:

"Problem in gnome-shell

Das Problem kann nicht gemeldet werden:

Invalid core dump: BFD:warning: /tmp/apport_core_wu53zz5_ is truncated: expected core file size >= 611393536, found: 356581376"

Although it sounds like gnome-shell crashed, truncated core files are not the fault of the program that crashed.

Please delete all core files in /tmp/ and /var/crash/ and then next time gnome-shell crashes,

1. Wait 10 seconds.

2. Reboot.

3. Run this command:

   journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt

4. Attach the resulting text file here.

5. Also follow these instructions to check for any new crash reports: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Missing_a_crash_report_or_having_a_.crash_attachment
