Many times after reporting bugs via abrt, I start to report another, and it starts uploading the coredump without my permission. I have always answered the question in the "Would you like to upload the coredump" with "No". However, it keeps setting the following variable in .config/abrt/settings/report-gtk.conf: abrt_analyze_smart_ask_upload_coredump = "yes" This is terrible from a privacy perspective, and erodes trust and discourages use of abrt. Full contents of .config/abrt/settings/report-gtk.conf: ask_steal_dir = "yes" abrt_analyze_smart_ask_upload_coredump = "yes" $ rpm -qa 'abrt*' abrt-libs-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-retrace-client-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-desktop-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-addon-vmcore-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-gui-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-addon-python-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-addon-ccpp-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-addon-xorg-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-dbus-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64 abrt-plugin-bodhi-2.0.20-1.fc18.x86_64
Thank you for the bug report. abrt_analyze_smart_ask_upload_coredump = "yes" means 'ask before uploading' but there was a bug in the logic processing configuration files. The bug causes that the logic always returns "upload the coredump without my permission". The bug is fixed in upstream.[https://github.com/abrt/libreport/commit/ccc67c6aca436b44845f80388a0580e79b321945] If you want to help us and have time to update abrt|libreport packages from the nightly repository and re-test, please do so and report the results here.
