Bug Description
This bug is preventing the Ubuntu Bug Squad from using one time apport crash reports at present.
The one time enabling has been fixed in Lucid in version 1.9.4-0ubuntu1
TEST CASE (thanks hggdh):
make sure /etc/default/apport is 0
open gedit
send a SIGSEGV
should not show apport-gtk
upgrade to -proposed package
open gedit
send a SIGSEGV
should now show apport-gtk
-------
Binary package hint: apport
/etc/default/apport says:
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start
enabled=0
but if you try it, that command fails:
$ sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service apport start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start apport
start: Job failed to start
Please fix the comment.
(I haven't managed to find a way to force apport to start without editing /etc/default/
