Description of problem:
the coredump file abrt generated is empty,as a result,non-kernel crash can not be reported by gnome-abrt(screenshot).
I see a spice-vdagent crash after boot the newly installed system,but I'm not able to report it with gnome-abrt.
I also checked with "sleep 500 & pkill -SEGV sleep"

Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-02-10 09:06:02 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 36-final by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 This is a violation of the criteria:
All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism after a default installation of Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test

Comment 4 lnie 2022-02-10 10:03:02 UTC
coredump is generated if you downgrade abrt to abrt-2.14.6-9.fc36,but you will see #2052914,as a result,gnome-abrt will not able to report non-kernel crash

Comment 5 Matej Grabovsky 2022-02-10 10:25:30 UTC
I can confirm this is indeed reproducible on Fedora 36.

@Michal: This might have something to do with the recent coredump-related changes in abrt.
Do you think you could double-check for any flukes?

Comment 6 Michal Srb 2022-02-10 11:16:47 UTC
We discussed this briefly yesterday. The problem is very likely related to the abrt+coredumpctl optimization change. I will test it.

Comment 7 Geoffrey Marr 2022-02-14 19:27:46 UTC
Discussed during the 2022-02-14 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker (Final)" was made as it violates the following criterion:

"All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism after a default installation of Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test".

This is a duplicate of bug #2050693

Comment 9 Michal Srb 2022-03-02 11:56:17 UTC
Michal Fabik found out that SELinux prevents abrt+coredumpctl to open+read the coredump file. I tried disabling SELinux just to test that this is indeed what's happening here and Michal was right:


######################################################################################################################

SELinux is preventing coredumpctl from read access on the file core.sleep.1000.178156ed5a304ee599f4634ca48e8c95.4246.1646221121000000.zst.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that coredumpctl should be allowed read access on the core.sleep.1000.178156ed5a304ee599f4634ca48e8c95.4246.1646221121000000.zst file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'coredumpctl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-coredumpctl
# semodule -X 300 -i my-coredumpctl.pp

However, the fact that coredump is being copied from coredumpctl to abrt problem directory immediately after the crash happens kind of beats the purpose of the optimization patch in abrt. Even if we fix the SELinux issue, we still end up in a situation when there are multiple copies of the same coredump on the filesystem, and not just when abrt needs the copy.
