🌸 NAME 🌸

abrt-applet — Applet which notifies user when new problems are detected by ABRT

Literally the whole job in one line: it's the applet that pings you when ABRT spots a new problem 🔥

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

abrt-applet [-v]

That's it. One optional flag and you're giving 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this tool is always listening on the org.freedesktop.problems D-Bus bus 👂 It's waiting for a Crash signal, and the moment it catches one, it pops up a notification about the new problem using whatever desktop-specific notification pop-up your setup uses. Iconic behaviour, no notes 💜

Also, it doesn't just wait for new stuff. At start-up, it checks for any new problems that happened while it wasn't running 🧚 If it finds any of those, it gives you the same desktop-specific notification pop-up so you're not missing anything. The way that it's thought through ✨

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -v, --verbose — Be more verbose. Can be given multiple times 📢 Stack the flag if you want extra chatty output 🫶
