After creating some coredumps with gedit and nautilus (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651749 ) I wanted to use gnome-abrt to report it and found that gnome-abrt could not list the problems. Then I tried "abrt-cli list" and found that it could not list the coredumps either, showing the same error message. "coredumpctl list" does list the coredumps: [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ coredumpctl list TIME PID UID GID SIG COREFILE EXE Tue 2018-11-20 17:31:42 CET 10696 1000 1000 11 present /usr/bin/gedit Tue 2018-11-20 17:41:48 CET 11262 1000 1000 11 present /usr/bin/nautilus [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ but "abrt-cli list" does not: [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ abrt-cli list Can't connect to system DBus: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.problems: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.problems: Permission denied [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ And gnome-abrt does not list them either and shows the same error message on stdout as "abrt-cli list" does: [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ gnome-abrt /usr/bin/gnome-abrt:331: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Application.add_accelerator is deprecated self.add_accelerator("<Control>q", "app.quit") WARNING:root:Can't connect to DBus system bus 'org.freedesktop.problems' path '/org/freedesktop/problems': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.problems: Permission denied WARNING:root:Can't connect to DBus system bus 'org.freedesktop.problems' path '/org/freedesktop/problems': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.problems: Permission denied [mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ Description of problem:
By the way, I did that in a qemu vm, using Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-29-1.2.iso, freshly installed yesterday and the updated with "dnf update". On my real hardware, which is also f29 with all current updates, abrt-cli and gnome-abrt *do* list these coredumps. I have no idea what the difference could be.
Thank you for your report, this problem is caused by the dbus. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1641456 ***
