Description David Kutálek 2012-01-11 10:23:21 UTC
Description of problem:

When using abrt-gui to report a crash, it pop up message that /var/spool/abrt/... is not writable and asks for an action. The text is eg:

Need writable directory, but '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2012-01-05-20:27:21-24154' is not writable. Move it to '/home/dkutalek/.abrt/spool' and operate on the moved copy?

This is confusing. Moved copy is nonsense. I thought it makes a copy and lost my dump by deleting dump in home. It performs a move actually! Although it says it doesn't have permissions!?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

abrt-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64
abrt-gui-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

moved copy :-)

Expected results:

Message is clear and consistent with actual action.

    Make "Move and operate on the moved copy" message less confusing


                 _("Need writable directory, but '%s' is not writable."
-                " Move it to '%s' and operate on the moved copy?"),
+                " Move it to '%s' and operate on the moved data?"),
                 g_dump_dir_name, HOME
                 );
