Description David Kovalsky 2011-12-12 23:43:09 UTC
After I updated from F14 (through F15) to F16, Abrt stopped working. No messages, GUI doesn't show any new crashes.

I've tried deleting everything from /var/spool/abrt/ and /var/cache/abrt/, but it didn't help. 

/var/log/messages doesn't show anything interesting abrt related, 

# grep -i abrt /var/log/messages|tail -n 15

I see crashes like this in /var/log/messages:

Abrtd is running (I've tried restarting in the past, again no result). I'm checking via:

abrt-libs.i686   


# rpm -Va 'abrt*'

# echo $?
0

So package content seems intact. 


Maybe it's because I ditched Gnome sh and I'm running with XFCE. Otherwise, no idea what may be wrong. I'm running with the latest & greatest from F16 updates-testing ATM.


I'm out of ideas where to look for more info. I'll gladly provide any debugging output you ask for.

Comment 1 David Kovalsky 2011-12-13 11:04:47 UTC
/me had a little debugging session with Nikola Pajkovsky and here's the output:

So it seems abrt-cppp.service is not started by default after update/upgrade. Perhaps a missing postin script?

Exactly, it's known bug described in F16 common bugs:
