Description Kamil Páral 2013-08-30 14:09:21 UTC
Description of problem:
When I open gnome-abrt, I see that System tab has 2 reports. But I can't switch to it, when I click on it, nothing happens ("My" tab is still active).

I can't even run gnome-abrt as root:
$ sudo gnome-abrt 
No protocol specified
Cannot connect to X server


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-abrt-0.3.0-3.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run abrt-gnome
2. try to switch to System tab
3. nothing happens

abrt-cli works:

$ sudo abrt-cli list

- it tries to authorize using the polkit agent, so my guess is that the polkit on your machine is broken, can you try some other application which uses polkit to rule out this suspicion?

- this is a different issue, please file another bug for it

Hmm, it works now. The polkit agent probably crashed or something, but I can't reproduce anymore. Next time this happens, I'll investigate what happened to polkit.

Oh by the way, "sudo gnome-abrt" now works too :-)
