Bug Description
There is the scenerio where the user gets into trouble with apport-collect.
Typically a developer in the course of a bug report request that the user collect some data using apport-collect.
1. user types in requested command
2. Launchpad pops up and requests access
3. user being careful figures a program that collects data should be given the permission to read only non-private data.
4. going back to the terminal the user now discovers that he needed to give more rights to the bugger for it to work
Now in best quiz style we have 3 options to get to set the correct settings
5a. apport-collect --help
5b. run the requested apport-collect call hoping it will reset.
5c. go to your launchpad profile and see a handy list of applications which have been granted access and options to tweak previous settings.
5c. all of the above
the correct answer is.
rm .cache/
This is failing very ungratefully for no reason, I suspect something the above listed options should be evaluated. More granulated control of the sharing levels would be good as well.
Just delete ~/.cache/apport/ to re-set the privileges and get the question again in the meantime.
