It looks like that this is a permissions issue. Unity8 is asking to
report a recoverable problem on cgmanager, but Unity is under the
phablet user and cgmanager is root. Thus Unity runs recoverable problem
as the phablet user and it doesn't have permissions to pull all the data
out of cgmanager.

I think that the best solution here is to have recoverable_problem be
setuid root.
