synaptic menu item not working

[bapoumba]

Lol, I did run the correct command yesterday and got the same error message.

Sorry to ask a dumb question. I have a /var/crash/_usr_bin_pkexec.0.crash and I get a "permission denied" when I try to report a problem with it. Can it be attached to a bug report ? I cannot open it. I'll look

You could open it as root, but I wouldn't bother as it will not help you much, being mainly

and such-like.

However, if you right click on that file it should offer you the chance to open it with "Report a problem"

[bapoumba]

Yes, but as I stated above, I get a "permission denied" when I try to report a problem. I'll attach a screenshot.

[mc4man]

For root owned .crash files either open /var/crash in a root browser or try from terminal in various ways -

sudo /usr/bin/apport-cli /path/to/whatever.crash

or maybe

gksudo /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk /path/to/whatever.crash

[bapoumba]

Thanks mc4man, first one did it. I promise I looked how to get around the permission denied as the file was not owned by me, but could not find anything to use.

It says the bug contains private information.

all bug reports from crashers thru appoprt are 'private' until someone removes possible personal info (a bug triager

Myself wait for a retrace & then if after a day or two if not looked at or duped generally mark as public as there is nothing on my testing install that could be compromising or whatever.
Sometimes apport crash reports contain useful info to debug, sometimes not..

[bapoumba]

Well, I had a look at the files, and there was no real private info I could see. But I'm not that well trained
I cannot make it public myself. I linked to the previous bug in a comment. We shall see, thanks again!

[mc4man]

I cannot make it public myself.

If you get inclined at some point you should be able to. On bug pages any yellow circle can be clicked on for an action or more.
see screens as example (I've no private bugs atm so picked latest open one

Certainly no harm in waiting either..

[bapoumba]

OK thanks, I can indeed mark it public. I can wait too
(Sorry, I have not filed bugs and used LP in a long while).

The bug ajgreeny reported has been marked as a duplicate of this one, which has been marked as fix released : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1292868.
lxsession is at the proper version here, but opening synaptic with gtk-launch synaptic still brings up the same error here (all updates applied). Using the menu item or the launcher icon still does not work. I wonder if ajgreeny's bug really is a duplicate..
