[Bug 1418262] Re: apport hook to detect wayland sessions

 

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.16-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.16-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Add a new method ProblemReport.extract_keys() which writes binary keys
      (which can be very large) directly to files without loading them all
      into memory first. Use that in apport-unpack. Thanks Louis Bouchard!
      (LP: #1307413)
    - launchpad backend: Work with Python 3, now that launchpadlib exists for
      Python 3. (LP: #1153671)
    - apport-bug, apport-gtk: Also check for $WAYLAND_SESSION, to use
      apport-gtk instead of apport-cli under Wayland. Thanks Tim Lunn.
      (LP: #1418766)
    - apport-gtk: When running under Wayland, avoid Gdk/Wnck operation for
      setting crash window modal to the PID of the crashed window; these only
      work under X11.
    - Don't install the test suite any more, to save 1 MB of installed space.
      It can be run out of trunk easily enough, and distributions can install
      it from tests/ if they desire.
    - hookutils, attach_root_command_outputs(): Fix UnicodeDecodeError crash
      for non-textual values. (LP: #1370259)
    - ui.py: Only provide a UI to hooks if the crash db will accept the
      report. This avoids asking questions if the report is merely sent to
      whoopsie for Ubuntu stable releases. Thanks Brian Murrary.
      (LP: #1084979)
    - whoopsie-upload-all: Add package information to the report before
      calling package hooks. Thanks Brian Murray.
    - Fix check for available terminal when checking whether to display the
      "Examine locally" button.
  * Add general hook for detecting Wayland sessions and tagging them with
    "wayland-session". Thanks Timm Lunn! (LP: #1418262)
  * debian/tests/upstream-system: Copy tests from source tree, as
    /usr/share/apport/testsuite/ does not exist any more.

Title:
  apport hook to detect wayland sessions

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Now that we have an experimental GNOME wayland session in vivid, it
  would be somewhat useful for apport to detect if a bug report is from
  a wayland session. It probably makes sense for this to be global
  since other projects will eventually offer wayland sessions as well.
  Not sure on the best place for this to live though in apport or in
  wayland packaging or elsewhere?

  detecting WAYLAND_DISPLAY env is probably enough to detect a running
  session, and there may be a few other useful env variables such as
  (GDK/CLUTTER)_BACKEND etc
