Description Karel Volný 2013-07-30 14:54:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Because of limited space in /tmp [1] the archive creation may fail.
Please do not use /tmp at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-2.1.5-1.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use your system as usual; if that doesn't work for you as a reproducer step, just fill /tmp by other means like dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/somefile
2. use your system as usual ... now this will work for everyone, with zero space in /tmp, something will crash sooner or later
3. try to report the crash

Actual results:
abrt fails because it is unable to write to /tmp

like this:

--- Running analyze_CCpp ---
Souhlasíte s odesláním obrazu paměti? (ten může obsahovat citlivá data). Pokud bude vaše odpověď 'Ne', zásobník volání se vygeneruje lokálně. (to může mít za následek stažení velkého množství dat). 'YES'
Zjišťování nastavení serveru
Příprava archivu pro odeslání
xz: (stdout): Write error: Na zařízení není volné místo
tar: -: Zapsáno pouze 4096 z 10240 bajtů
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Nemohu vytvořit dočasný soubor v /tmp


Expected results:
abrt works
