Bug description:
[ Impact ]
In GNOME Settings' Diagnostics page, the switch to control automatic
bug reporting to Canonical automatically flips to "Never" after 1
minute of the page being open without interaction
The bug triggered because the DBus service that manages the automatic-bug-reporting configuration ("whoopsie-preferences") quits after 1 minute of inactivity, and GNOME Settings receives an "invalidation" signal when that happens.
We are fixing the issue by detecting that the service has quit in which case we should not refresh the state of the setting.
A further change should be applied to the whoopsie-preferences service
to avoid quitting when there are clients still listening for potential
settings changes.
[ Test Plan ]
* Open GNOME Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Diagnostics
* You should see `Send error reports to Canonical` set to `Manual` by default.
> If instead it is set to Never, change it now to another option.
* Stay on the settings page for more than 60 seconds
* The setting should have remained the same and *not* have
automatically changed to `Never`.
[ Where problems could occur ]
This patch also tries to re-start the "whoopsie-preferences" daemon
when it automatically stops after 60 seconds, because GNOME Settings
should keep listening for settings changes from external factors. This
should not present any issues, but it's the most "intrusive" part of
the patch.
[ Original Description ]
steps to reproduce.
1. Open Gnome Settings
2. Go to Privacy -> Diagnostics
3. You should see `Send error reports to Canonical` set to Manual by default.
4. Stay on the settings page for some time (maybe <2 mins), the setting will slip to Never.
You could also try to change the settings to Automatic and stay on the
page, it will also flip to Never within a couple of minutes.
I noticed this on Jammy, Mantic, and Noble.
