Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

While reporting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/678360, I noticed that Apport says "Press OK to hear the test tone" but the button actually says "Close."

While this issue is rather minor, I think it could be confusing to novices, who may erroneously assume that the Close button quits Apport altogether and that they have done something wrong, causing no "OK" button to appear.

This is with version 1.14.1-0ubuntu8 of apport (same version for apport-gtk) on a 64-bit maverick system.

I am removing the duplicate note on this report as the bug this was pointing at had mentioned two separate issues. This bug will be utilized to track the issue noted above where the user is prompted to 'Press OK to hear the test tone' and the only button available is 'Close'.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Run ubuntu-bug from a shell window with no arguments

2. @ 'What kind of problem do you want to report?', respond with 'Sound/audio related problems'

3. @ 'What particular problem do you observe?', respond with 'Playback does not work, or is crackling'

4. @ 'Have you checked that your sound system is plugged in, and turned on?', respond with 'Yes'

5. @ 'What is the name of the sound card you are having problems with?', respond with 'HDA-Intel - HDA Intel'

6. Note the message "Press OK to hear the test tone", and the only option is "Close"

I looked at the proposed branch, and its extremely messy, has conflicts, and looks like unintentional changes. Its unreviewable and unmergable in its current state :-/. I recommend checking out the head of the current branch (lp:~ubuntu-dev/apport/apport-symptoms), unbinding it, applying your changes locally, then re-pushing to launchpad.

Second branch looks sane, and the code changes seem to be correct (I can't currently test with apport easily on my current machine). I'm unsure if this is the proper way to fix the UI confusion, so I'll leave that to the apport developers to figure out.

Marking the branch reviewed; pitti, can you put in your two cents on this?
