Description of problem: This is to cover the test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_disk Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install f16 2. pass updates=http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/updates/traceback.img to kernel to generate traceback 3. save traceback 4. there is no 'local' option Actual results: Expected results: 'local' is listed there Additional info:
Also no scp option for choice.

Why do we need 'local' it's already saved in /tmp/anaconda-tb-<something> and if it's really needed the again - reportuploader and put ro url field: file:///any/path/you/want ... the only difference is that you won't get xml file, but I think anaconda devs didn't like the xml anyway... So maybe we just should update the test case?
(In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > Also no scp option for choice. > > you can use report uploader and put url scp://whatever I need verify if 'scp' and 'local' function work, but at least it's not a friendly GUI, we had no idea that 'scp' is supported and there's already a copy in /tmp before you told so. The GUI used to have ftp, scp, local, bugzilla buttons as options, which are very direct and convenient for users. Is there any plan to update the GUI?

The only + about the local save was that it creates a xml file which you could later feed to report tool and it would create a bz ticket from it. We can implement this if there is a real need for this feature, but I would prefer not to.. > The GUI used to have ftp, scp, local, bugzilla > buttons as options, which are very direct and convenient for users.

Created attachment 529977 [details] GUI config window with a hint commit 3ef5d54dfabba7b69352ec85879d0da9daab74ba Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk> Date: Tue Oct 25 02:17:57 2011 +0200 reporter-upload: add possibility to specify _file_ part in url Work around a problem where we copy file on itself in /tmp if url is file:///tmp/. Add explanation to --help text, manpage, and add examples to GUI config window.
What else needs to be done here?
(In reply to comment #7) > What else needs to be done here? now there are two options in abrt: bugzilla and report uploader. bugzilla is clear, but what does report uploader support is not very clear, such as scp, users cannot know the information from the GUI, it is not user friendly. Before f16, it is clear enough. I think this should be a NTH feature.
Currently in GUI, busybox and report uploader selections look like this: [ ] Bugzilla - Report to Bugzilla bug tracker [ ] Report uploader - Upload compressed tar report to url of choice How do you propose to rephrase text on Report uploader's line?
I changed the description to read: [ ] Report uploader - Upload as tar.gz file (via FTP/SCP/...) Do you have a better proposal?
