Apport exits if sudo rights are not available

[Gijs Peek]

Binary package hint: apport-qt

When I logon using one of my accounts which has no sudo rights, apport reports that an application crash has occurred. When I click on the apport crash icon I am presented with a kdesudo dialog box asking me for my password. If I enter it, I get an error message stating that my username is unknown to sudo, and apport exits.
My /var/crash directory contains some crash reports belonging to root, but also some that are owned by the account I logged in with. I should at least be able to access those, even if I cannot access the crash reports owned by root.

Right. Apport should display the ones from your user first.

Whoops, this is actually a bug in adept. Just as update-notifier does, adept-notifier should call "apport-checkreports --system" if the user is a sudoer, and "apport-checkreports" if not.

Fixed with the new update-notifier-kde, which does ask for sudo rights.
