After I updated from F14 (through F15) to F16, Abrt stopped working. No messages, GUI doesn't show any new crashes. I've tried deleting everything from /var/spool/abrt/ and /var/cache/abrt/, but it didn't help. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything interesting abrt related, # grep -i abrt /var/log/messages|tail -n 15 Dec 9 20:08:38 kovinek abrtd: Got signal 15, exiting Dec 10 12:37:33 kovinek abrtd: Init complete, entering main loop Dec 12 17:00:39 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-libs-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:26 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:27 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-addon-ccpp-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:27 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-addon-python-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:29 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-retrace-client-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:31 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:32 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-addon-vmcore-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:01:35 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-gui-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:02:55 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-desktop-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:02:55 kovinek yum[27959]: Updated: abrt-cli-2.0.7-2.fc16.x86_64 Dec 12 17:05:42 kovinek abrtd: Got signal 15, exiting Dec 12 17:05:42 kovinek abrtd: Init complete, entering main loop Dec 12 20:02:22 kovinek abrtd: Got signal 15, exiting I see crashes like this in /var/log/messages: Dec 13 00:29:45 kovinek kernel: [12674.083337] audacious[6065]: segfault at 8 ip 00007feedfd5a31a sp 00007fff935181b0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.3000.1[7feedfd49000+4c000] Abrtd is running (I've tried restarting in the past, again no result). I'm checking via: # service abrtd status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status abrtd.service abrtd.service - ABRT Automated Bug Reporting Tool Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/abrtd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:58:51 +0100; 3h 38min ago Main PID: 1339 (abrtd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/abrtd.service └ 1339 /usr/sbin/abrtd -d -s Installed Packages abrt.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-addon-ccpp.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-addon-kerneloops.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-addon-python.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-addon-vmcore.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-cli.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-desktop.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-gui.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-libs.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing abrt-retrace-client.x86_64 2.0.7-2.fc16 @updates-testing Available Packages abrt-devel.i686 2.0.6-1.fc16 updates abrt-devel.x86_64 2.0.6-1.fc16 updates abrt-libs.i686 # rpm -Va 'abrt*' # echo $? 0 So package content seems intact. Maybe it's because I ditched Gnome sh and I'm running with XFCE. Otherwise, no idea what may be wrong. I'm running with the latest & greatest from F16 updates-testing ATM. I'm out of ideas where to look for more info. I'll gladly provide any debugging output you ask for.
/me had a little debugging session with Nikola Pajkovsky and here's the output: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern core # service abrtd status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status abrtd.service abrtd.service - ABRT Automated Bug Reporting Tool Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/abrtd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:10:35 +0100; 46min ago Main PID: 1348 (abrtd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/abrtd.service └ 1348 /usr/sbin/abrtd -d -s # service abrt-ccpp status Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status abrt-ccpp.service abrt-ccpp.service - Install ABRT coredump hook Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/abrt-ccpp.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/abrt-ccpp.service ****** Ha, not running # service abrt-ccpp start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start abrt-ccpp.service # cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e So it seems abrt-cppp.service is not started by default after update/upgrade. Perhaps a missing postin script?

Exactly, it's known bug described in F16 common bugs: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F16_bugs#Abrt_will_not_catch_crashes_after_upgrade_from_a_previous_Fedora_release
