Description of problem: In order for abrt to process crashes, ulimit -c must be set to a non-zero value in ~/.bash_profile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt1.1.4-1.fc14 How reproducible: Easily. Steps to Reproduce: 1. With default ulimit, ulimit -c 0, start gnome-shell. (guaranteed gnome-panel crash) 2. Crash is in /var/log/messages, but abrt didn't run 3. Actual results: No abrt when ulimit -c 0 Expected results: In F12 and F13, I believe abrt worked with ulimit -c 0. Additional info: With ulimit -c 0, this is in /var/log/messages: Jun 8 12:23:12 localhost kernel: gnome-panel[10318]: segfault at 3ef064c500 ip 0000003ef064c500 sp 00007fff9d079318 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-.so.17.1.1[3ef1a00000+28000] Jun 8 12:23:12 localhost kernel: Process 10318(gnome-panel) has RLIMIT_CORE set to 0 Jun 8 12:23:12 localhost kernel: Aborting core With ulimit -c set to unlimited, this is in /var/log/messages: Jun 8 12:17:47 localhost kernel: gnome-panel[5311]: segfault at 3ef064c500 ip 0000003ef064c500 sp 00007fff448902e8 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-2.so.17.1.1[3ef1a00000+28000] Jun 8 12:17:48 localhost abrt[9125]: saved core dump of pid 5311 (/usr/bin/gnome-panel) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1276024667-5311.new/coredump (28971008 bytes) Jun 8 12:17:48 localhost abrtd: Directory 'ccpp-1276024667-5311' creation detected Jun 8 12:17:48 localhost abrt[9125]: saved core dump of pid 5311 to /home/gene/core.5311 (28971008 bytes) Jun 8 12:17:50 localhost abrtd: New crash /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1276024667-5311, processing Jun 8 12:17:50 localhost abrtd: Registered Action plugin 'RunApp' Jun 8 12:17:50 localhost abrtd: RunApp('/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1276024667-5311','test x"`cat component`" = x"xorg-x11-server-Xorg" && cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log .')
