UI: add option for no confirmation

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: apport

It was requested to provide an option to the UIs to skip all the menus and just file the report noninteractively. This should be called "-i", "--noninteractive".

[Fernando Miguel (fernandomiguel)]

wouldnt '-s' make more sense as in send (the key is the same as the one pressed to send the report)

[Joker Wild (lajjr-deactivatedaccount)]

Seeing that the package uses /etc/default/apport file to enable use it to monitor to send automatically.

file data:

# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
enabled=1

# set maximum core dump file size (default: 209715200 bytes == 200 MB)
maxsize=209715200

add this to it

# set apport to send report automatic 0 to disable, or 1 to enable.
autosend=1 <-- 0 to manually send.

a simple flag would work. Of course the code will have to be added as well.

Leo,

this really shouldn't be set in /etc/default/apport IMHO. This should be a per-user setting at most. Also, it's not quite "autosend", since the user still needs to fill out the LP bug report.

ui.py should just accept a --noninteractive (-i or -n) option. If you want to set it by default, it should be an option in ~/.config/apport/settings; use apport.fileutils.get_config() for this.

Martin,

Do you want me to do both because I think both can be useful. Yep I
see I just mad a option yes I was considering the wrong place sorry.

Regards,

Leo Albert Jackson Jr

Sure, sounds good!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

John, something seems to be wrong with your branch; it's identical to trunk, and marked as "merged", but I didn't merge it.

[John Mazer (johnmazer)]

Martin,

That is weird I will delete and redo.

Sorry Jmazer
