[Bug 1910768] Re: apport-collect hangs and makes computer hang

[Tomislav]

I see a similar (same?) issue: if I say a bug is display-related, apport
collecting problem information hangs ~20% through the process and
neither "Cancel" nor (x) can stop the process. Cancel in the parent
window helps.

This is on 20.04.

Title:
  apport-collect hangs and makes computer hang

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug is related to bug 1723558
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1723558) but I
  could not transfer the generated information.

  After a crash of bluetoothd (see bug 1910405) I tried to run apport-
  collect with the bug ID, but the process hangs. After clicking cancel,
  it makes the computer hang totally, except running teams calls that
  keep streaming but without interaction possible. All is released when
  apport is killed manually.

  The problem also occurs when a crash of the Brave browser causes a
  call to apport.

  This bug is generated through ubuntu-bug -w after clicking on the
  apport-collect window. This second apport process doesn't hang.
