Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. I tried reporting an issue with abrt-gui on latest 6.2 and selected the Logger plugin. The report was saved locally in /tmp/abrt.log and the above UI was not present. This bug can't be reproduced with libreport. |
Created attachment 480227 [details] screenshot Description of problem: I've come across SELinux denial and when I try to report it using SELinux troubleshooter a dialog appears. I believe this dialog comes from report. From the available options: local, GLS, scp, etc. I selected local. I was presented with a dialog to enter directory path where to save the bug report. This dialog looks like in the attached screenshot. The problem is that there's no indication that the path should be an absolute path. At first I thought that this was a relative path to the user's home directory so I entered 'test' which failed with permission denied. Then I entered '/home/atodorov/test' and the directory was successfully created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): report-0.18-7.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to report some bug. For example using SELinux troubleshooter. 2. Select to save the report in a local file. 3. Actual results: User is presented with dialog asking for directory path but there is no explanation that this path should be an absolute path. Expected results: There is explanation what type of path is this. Additional info: See screenshot.
