UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-12 (3 days ago)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[VinDSL (perfect-pecker)]

Appears to be a regression.

When trying to submit a bug report, Apport says it's already been reported (Mar-2011, upon checking launchpad):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/741488

Downgrading to "indicator-appmenu 0.3.1-0ubuntu2" makes the bug go away in Ubu 12.04 Precise 32-bit.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Can you submit a bug using apport anyway?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

closing the bug, it should be submitted using ubuntu bug, it's also not likely a glib issue

[Aaron C. de Bruyn (darkpixel2k)]

Can't submit a bug using apport. It pops up and asks if we want to send an error report--clicking yes/continue/whatever gives a dialog saying the error has already been reported. It doesn't behave like 'normal' by opening a browser window to the existing bug report, it just quits.

[Aaron C. de Bruyn (darkpixel2k)]

(also, attempting to change the bug to reference 'unity' instead of 'glib' is an exercise in futility. Searching for 'unity' returns an error that there are too many results. Trying unity-panel-service, unity-panel, unity panel, unity app, etc... returns no projects found.)

[Corey Kearney (snkiz-deactivatedaccount)]

had to file another bug just to get my apport logs in, sorry. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/956721
