On the computer with the graphics problem I did this:- apport-cli -f -p linux --save 32-bit-graphics.apport The above command gathered debugging information and put it in the file 32-bit-graphics.apport I then copied that file to USB flash drive and copied it to a computer to report it. On the working computer I did this:- ubuntu-bug -c 32-bit-graphics.apport Apologies if this information is at a bit of a tangent. My motive is to get this information out into the open.

Ian: Yes, to actually use apport, it can start in the console, but then to get to Launchpad it needs a browser to log into LP and then I believe you go back to the console to send the "apport." I don't think the OP was saying he doesn't have a GUI??

When I was gathering information to report a device driver bug, I had to use the apport-cli command to generate the debugging information, copy that information to a working computer and then submit a bug report that way. Sadly, I can't remember which command I used for that.
