[Bug 901381] Re: excepthook in gtk_ui.py should write a crash report instead of calling ubuntu-bug

[Brian Murray]

I have a patch for this that works - aside of the fact that update-
notifier doesn't notify you of the crash because of bug 882147.

Title:
  excepthook in gtk_ui.py should write a crash report instead of calling
  ubuntu-bug

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py apport-bug is called directly which
  causes a couple of issues:

  1) the bug is tagged apport-bug and not apport-crash
  2) apport bug patterns are not checked

  I discovered this when looking at bug 901330 which was reported after
  I wrote the bug pattern for bug 850264.  I tested the bug pattern and
  it does in fact match bug 901330 and the pattern is live on
  people.canonical.com.

  I think instead that the excepthook should create a crash report file
  in /var/crash which then be picked up by apport.
