Description Richard Marko 2011-10-24 11:17:59 UTC
Integration of python-meh would allow users to report internal errors directly to bugzilla as it's now integrated with libreport. It also provides mechanism for collecting additional data required for debugging.

Comment 1 Richard Marko 2011-10-24 13:22:49 UTC
Clarification: error handling of internal errors (python trackebacks) should be integrated with ABRT (not with python-meh)

Comment 2 Jiri Moskovcak 2011-10-24 14:24:09 UTC
"Integrating with ABRT" means "just call the original exception handler, after you're done with processing the exception"

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2011-10-27 14:11:30 UTC
Many caught and reported exceptions aren't unexpected: the complexity of libvirt configuration options means there are many times that an operation has legitimate reason not to work, but virt-manager doesn't want to be in the game of 100% duplicating libvirt validation logic. Some of these reported errors will be libvirt/virt-manager bugs, but it's not feasible to determine the difference I don't want to start getting flooded with abrt false positives.

For uncaught exceptions the default exception handler is raised, so those are already covered.

Thanks for the report, but closing as WONTFIX
