[Bug 1792643] [NEW] apport does not upload wayland or gnome-shell crash data

Fri Sep 14 21:54:11 UTC 2018

Public bug reported:

Linux smeagol 4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 27 15:21:48 UTC
2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 lsb_release -rd 
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04

In trying to upload .crash data for bug 1789962 "gnome-shell segfaults
in Wayland when display is turned off while Kodi running" I determined
that apport-cli and friends were never able to upload the .crash files.
The URL where they should appear is:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/39229ebea988d6578bed98d7e18bd96fd9cd523cf89495ed70d4ce4c0f8b7937667368f389be8d8b2588bafc31d1935109305b4abf52dbb724a7cf43c3b425b4

Earlier, I did upload the .crash files directly and was told by the
defect reviewer that:

_usr_bin_Xwayland.1000.crash: Stack trace mostly unreadable (missing symbols)
_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash: Stack trace is missing

 You can see the other bug for details, here is the last comment that I added (so far):

I deleted all entries in /var/crash and /var/lib/whoopsie.
I recreated the problem

ls -l /var/crash

No entries since 08/11. None for wayland, gnome-shell or Kodi.
I checked for over 5 minutes.

So perhaps something is going bad on my end, but I just don't know what
or how to  debug.
