Well the purpose of this list serve is information sharing, and at times a
bug report needs to be filed . . . sans GUI  . . . .

I've looked up the appropriate journal that describes what I did to get
debugging info sent to launchpad for the bug where 80% of the screen is
black and you are unable to use apport because of that...

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.

HTH,


Ian

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??

I think apport needs a working 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.

HTH,


Ian

[lubuntu-users] Bionic Beaver -Apport

[Eric Bradshaw]

I downloaded Lubuntu Bionic Beaver LTS (Daily Build) to check it out. In
the beginning I did get 3-4 error messages, but not any lately. Been doing
updates.  I was using Lubuntu 16.04


I follow the ‘10 things to do first in Lubuntu 16.04’ and applied it to
Bionic Beaver.


I don’t want to go back to 16.04


Can I enable ‘Apport’ for Bionic Beaver?  If so, how?  I’m not a geek


Thanks, Dennis


Dennis,

Info from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

Apport runs at all times, but the crash interception component is normally 
disabled. To enable it, go to Menu --> System Tools --> LXTerminal (or 
Ctrl+Alt+T) and type:

sudo leafpad /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

... and add a hash symbol # in the beginning of the following line:

'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

so that it becomes

#'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save the file and "X" out.


Eric
