Not that I'm trying to make more work for us or anything, but was this the test report you expected? The UnicodeDecodeError makes it look like something went wrong in actually generating the report.

Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2014-04-25 19:10:25 UTC
hum, that's a point. I didn't really look, I was just trying to get into libreport by any means necessary.

I ran:

kill -USR2 `cat /var/run/anaconda.pid`

what's recommended in our test case (or was, till I just edited it) was:

kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/anaconda.pid`

but that didn't seem to 'work', as in, anaconda kept running (even when I clicked something), no exception was generated.
