[17:03] <ChinnoDog> Is there a way to get apport to stop asking for permission to report crashes besides disabling it altogether?
[17:16] <lazyPower> ChinnoDog: not to my knowledge
[17:22] <ChinnoDog> I'm happy to report crashes but not if dialogs requiring multiple actions are going to pop up for each and every one.
[17:24] <ChinnoDog> Was it in Fedora or an earlier version of Ubuntu that there is a tray icon that appears when something crashes? I like that design. If something unexpected happens I get a hint of what happened. If something crashes and I don't notice I can ignore the icon until I am ready to deal withi t.
[17:28] <jthan> ChinnoDog: fedora
[17:30] <lazyPower> ChinnoDog: ubuntu doesn't use the tray they use the unity losenge design to warehouse apport. The unfortuante side effect of apport is it collects potentially sensitive information - which is why i requires a sudo elevation to report the bugs.
[17:30] <lazyPower> there's room for improvement there, i agree with you. Unfortunately i dont think apport is as active of a project anymore with the new focus being on mobile and getting the mir display server shored up for the convergence play.
[17:30] <lazyPower> but thats hard for me to really discern as I work in a completely different dept. of canonical.
[17:33] <ChinnoDog> apport is inactive? :-( That is unfortunate. It is an important part of the ecosystem. If I were publishing Ubuntu apps I would definitely be mining the crash reports.
[18:42] <lazyPower> well inactive meaning its gone maintenance mode
[18:42] <lazyPower> its doing security / bug patching
[18:42] <lazyPower> but i dont think anyone is actively working on new features for it
