[Bug 1821412] Re: "System program problem" report button does nothing

[Brian Murray]

I was testing this on Hirsute today and was nothing was happening when I
clicked the "Report" button. I then ran update-notifier with --debug-
misc and discovered the following in the output:

** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.075: crashreport_check
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.304: crashreport found running apport now
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.304: fire up the crashreport tool
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.417: no pkexec for system reports under wayland

So it seems like this may not be working because hirsute is now using
wayland. That being said there is weird behavior when not using wayland.
After killing xeyes I instantly receive a crash report but clicking
"Report" does nothing. However, later on when update-notifier checks for
a crash report and a dialog is raised clicking "Report" does behave as
expected so perhaps the fix is actually incomplete for Xorg and not
working for wayland.

Title:
  "System program problem" report button does nothing

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Eoan:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  sudo xeyes &
  sudo kill -11 $PID from above
  receive crash notification
  click "Report problem..."
  Observe nothing happen

  Research
  --------
  crash.c calls the following '/usr/bin/pkexec /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk' and this works if I call it manually so something must be awry in crash.c.
