When an application error occurs, Ubuntu prompts asking if you want to submit it and/or hide future errors of this type (e.g. a particular error from a particular application). I have opted to hide certain errors (but not others), but now I've changed my mind. Where can I find a list of the individual errors I've hidden, and opt to show some of them?

As a second-place alternative, can I choose to just show all errors again?

  • @Rinzwind so am I misguided in thinking that apport was hiding only particular types of errors, and I was actually switching the whole thing off and on? – lofidevops Apr 26 '13 at 08:34

    This is the line in the config file (/etc/apport/crashdb.conf) "problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package']," so I guess you can ignore 2 types ;) – Rinzwind Apr 26 '13 at 08:40

Various logs of errors can be found here:

/var/log

They can be read by opening a Terminal and typing:

cd /var/log
less *name_of_logfile*

The rest of the answer can be found here: How do I enable or disable Apport?

Edit: also you can try to modify particular type of errors by editing /etc/apport/crashdb.conf:

sudo -H gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

  • Apport uses /var/crash/ and the files in there are the name of the crashed executable and the user id ;) – Rinzwind Apr 26 '13 at 08:42
  • darn, I switched apport off and on again, so I've cleared whatever filters I had, I'll wait for them to build up again, but accept this in the meanwhile – lofidevops Apr 26 '13 at 10:39
