[Bug 368282] [NEW] apport sometimes prints "Cannot open display" when run over ssh

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

repro:
Try to login to a machine which is standing at GDM and then run apport-collect.


Doing exactly that is a critically important use case for xorg crashes because if you login the xorg.log gets reset and whatever was in xorg.log.old is permanently lost.

Maybe this bug only affects the xorg hook for apport (not sure?)


mnemo@zueco:~$ apport-collect 368049
