Abrt errors while analysing gnome-shell

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi,

I'm getting this error repeatedly with abrt:

> Server responded with an error: 'Validation failed: Element 'stacktrace' is invalid: List element is invalid: Element 'frames' is invalid: List element is invalid: Element 'file_name' is missing'

It's making it slightly difficult to report gnome-shell's crashes. Any
hints on what's causing this? Abrt bug?

Hey Ankur,

It seems you just need to update abrt and few other rpms.
Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1109697

Thank you for the bug link. Unfortunately, the packages I have installed
are newer than the ones suggested in the bug. I've commented on the bug
saying so.

Ankur,

I  had  similar  problems  where  F20  abrt  was  rejecting  all ppc64
backtraces.

I  opened  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119072 and the
abrt  developers were able to make significant progress with the this.
They  were  also  able  to fix issues where the retrace server was not
handling other elements for ppc64.

Try  the  lastest  abrt  updates  in updates-testing. If those fail to
work,  open  a  bug  report.  It  probably  helps if you save the abrt
capture  directories  for  each failure, and obtain the backtrace from
the core dump using gdb and post that - see my BZ and the related ones
that the developers opened for details.

In my experience, the abrt developers do a great job handling reported
issues.

I think there may have been something particular about the crash we were
hitting (this is the dual screen crash, right?) which was causing this -
I saw it too, I got the backtrace out manually with gdb. It is generally
something to report to the abrt devs, indeed.
