Title:
  ubuntu-bug "Collecting problem information..." for over 30 min

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-nouveau  = "Collecting problem
  information ... This might take a few minutes. ............." it just
  filled the 80x50 screen with 4000 dots, at about 1/2 sec per is 30
  minutes.

  USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
  carl      2529  0.2  1.8  89260 36592 pts/2    Sl+  22:11   0:08 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/apport-cli xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

  
  seems to be the same thing as #397140 so I am doing the strace ting:
  carl at gw42:~$ pgrep apport
  2529
  carl at gw42:~$ ps ux|grep apport-cli | grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'
  2529
  2716
  carl at gw42:~$ strace -vvs1024 -o /tmp/apport-gtk.trace -p 2529
  Process 2529 attached - interrupt to quit

  which is lots of:
  select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 12114}) = 0 (Timeout)
  gettimeofday({1260076594, 5680}, NULL)  = 0
  select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 36012}) = 0 (Timeout)
  gettimeofday({1260076594, 41961}, NULL) = 0

  but I was able to run it for this report.
