How To Fix Abrt-Applet Crash When Apps Shut Down After Session Ending On Fedora 43
After ending a session through logging out, restarting, or shutting down, while having some apps open, and then booting back up, you may receive an error saying that abrt-applet detected a crash. This is a false positive, and is simply your apps closing. Here's how to fix it.
1. Open your terminal and run this command:
sudo nano /etc/abrt/plugins/oops.conf
2. Edit the .conf file
You should see something like this:
Configuration for the ABRT kernel oops hook
This config file is empty by default which means that the preconfigured default values will be used by ABRT. If you wish to override the default settings, you can do so here.
For details regarding the contents of this file and the defaults, see
man 5 abrt-oops.conf.
Go below this, and add the following text:
DropNotReportableOopses = yes
OnlyFatalMCE = yes
This will make it so abrt-applet only notifies you of important errors.
3. Save and exit
Press Ctrl + S on your keyboard to save, and then Ctrl + X to exit.
Now, no more annoying errors. Yay!
