Description Zack Cerza 2009-11-11 20:13:55 UTC
Since abrt won't show crashes for things like wpa_supplicant unless you run it as root, I periodically run 'sudo abrt-gui' to check for them. In abrt-0.0.11-1.fc12, when I try to report such bugs, abrt prompts me for my bugzilla login credentials. After I enter them and submit, I get the following error message:

"Empty login and password. Please check Bugzilla.conf"

Perhaps abrt should be using PolicyKit or something? Seems like that could clear up a lot of issues with root vs. non-root and access to the keyring daemon.

Comment 1 Gene Czarcinski 2009-11-12 20:19:44 UTC
I am also having this problem with abrt ... both abrt-gui and abrt-cli

I have filled in my BZ id and password in /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf but that makes no difference.

Unless and until I can report all bugs as a non-root user, root needs to be able to report bugs.

THIS IS NOT PRIORITY LOW!
