This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-report - 1.1.0
---------------
ubuntu-report (1.1.0) bionic; urgency=medium
* Delay reporting of system metrics when there is no network.
A service then kicks in and try to report with exponential
backoff until success (LP: #1774354)
* Ensure that LANG is the user's language reported even in OEM
mode (LP: #1765672)
* Collect physical screen size (LP: #1771976)
* Incorrect regex for GPU info (LP: #1765614)

Title:
Delay reporting of system metrics when there is no network while
running g-i-s
Status in ubuntu-report package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-report source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* When users are running gnome-initial-setup (first login), if they don't
have any network configured, the metrics reports silently drop the request. We
are thus ignoring those reports.
* There is now the willingness to have those reports included. The less
intrusive way is to drop a pending report file and then having a service (only
activated by a systemd path unit) started, doing exponential backoff until a
network is detected. It doesn't impact thus CPU or network usage.
* Reusing the previously pending report ensure we really send that data that
the user acked upon.
[Test Case]
* Disconnect from any network
* Run ubuntu-report send yes
* Check that there is a pending report in ~/.cache/ubuntu-report
* Connect to a network
-> the file should disappear and be sent after a couple of minutes.
[Regression Potential]
* The feature has been heavily tested and backed by new tests.
* Any error is already ignored by gnome-initial-setup, so we would end up in
the same situation than today.

We need to provide a way to still report them (save for later and collect via
a service)
