Description of problem: When using abrt-gui to report a crash, it pop up message that /var/spool/abrt/... is not writable and asks for an action. The text is eg: Need writable directory, but '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2012-01-05-20:27:21-24154' is not writable. Move it to '/home/dkutalek/.abrt/spool' and operate on the moved copy? This is confusing. Moved copy is nonsense. I thought it makes a copy and lost my dump by deleting dump in home. It performs a move actually! Although it says it doesn't have permissions!? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64 abrt-gui-2.0.4-14.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: moved copy :-) Expected results: Message is clear and consistent with actual action. Additional info:
Fixed in git: commit 26587ba542c71364bcb76caa200b614ecfdc66d3 Author: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk> Date: Thu Jan 19 15:24:04 2012 +0100 Make "Move and operate on the moved copy" message less confusing _("Need writable directory, but '%s' is not writable." - " Move it to '%s' and operate on the moved copy?"), + " Move it to '%s' and operate on the moved data?"), g_dump_dir_name, HOME );
