Bug#864157: reportbug: reportbug not starting with GUI, only CLI working
Package: reportbug Version: 7.1.7 Followup-For: Bug #864157 Dear Maintainer, I also had this problem after installing Strech from CD with LXDE desktop environment. Reportbug is in the menu, but selecting it appears to do nothing. If running `reportbug --ui gtk2` from the terminal I get the same error as OP. Installing python3-gi-cairo caused reportbug to switch error messages to recommend I install gir1.2-vte-2.91 also. With both installed, now the GTK+ UI works. I suggest these two packages be included in default installs, at the very least. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/singpolyma/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "7.1.7" mode standard ui text email "singpol...@singpolyma.net" no-cc header "X-Debbugs-CC: singpol...@singpolyma.net" smtphost reportbug.debian.org -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt1.4.6 ii python33.5.3-1 ii python3-reportbug 7.1.7 reportbug recommends no packages.

Bug#864157: reportbug: reportbug not starting with GUI, only CLI working
Package: reportbug Version: 7.1.7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, on my system reportbug does not start from the menu. This problem already existed in 7.1.6, maybe even in earlier versions 7.1.X, I am not sure about that. The same problem also arose some time last year with older versions but got solved in the meantime. The command in menu is reportbug --exit-prompt --ui gtk2 Using this command in terminal I get Ignored bogus setting for --ui: gtk2 like in bug #653183 except that in my case python-gtk2 is installed.
