Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: bugs keep accumulating locally Expected results: just works. a new bug report is recorded at bugzilla Additional info:
1. i m using NetworkManager to connect to the internet 2. i m using a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet. they use some sort of proxy some where
restarting abrtd apparently fixed the problem (#540000). but thats a hassle. this is a laptop and it switches networks via NetworkManager maybe twice per reboot. this means that i must restart abrtd everytime i change my networks
What version do you have? If you use proxy you will have a problem. I'm working on patch.
