Hi Geir, I'm glad one of the options I offered worked for you. I guess it was designed precisely for the use case you describe. Since network policies can vary, I guess no provisions were made for the case where even HTTP would be blocked; in your case, SMTP would have worked but I can imagine that on most DMZs that's also bound to be closed.
I'll close this report as Invalid as per comment #3. Thanks again for your report! --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848119 Title: Not usable on a server in DMZ Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: ubuntu-bug seemes to require both a web browser and outgoing connections on tcp port 80. With an Ubuntu server in a locked-down DMZ, neither are lightly to be available, so reporting bugs on such systems becomes cumbersome. In our case, an option to report using SMTP would have worked nicely, but as far as we can see, no such option exists.
