Hi Brian, yes it works but in the installer it should have that option, so that when installing ubuntu for the first time for example, the user can stop reports from the beginning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Bug 1778497 is about having a remember feature in apport which gives the user a way to say never report crashes or always report crashes. This feature is available in 18.04 and on. Could you please test it and see if it helps address your concerns? Thanks! -- You received this bug notification

Guys, this has created more issues to newcomers than anything else I teach them. It should not be alerting the user EVERY TIME an app crashes (which simply comes back up after a second). It apport needs to be enabled to send or gather information it should ask ONCE during the installation process

Just updating that in 17.04 and 17.10 it still shows, some times multiple times for the same issue. The opt-in option is better suited for end users and if a developer wants it enabled they can simply edit the apport file. But again, a year later and 2 versions later, a simple opt-in approach

Just if anybody is wondering, apport came enabled by default on Ubuntu 16.10 and in I would say 15 minutes of installing it from scratch I had already 5 error reports, again, of things that were fixed automatically when the app reloaded itself. It just pushes the entry point of Ubuntu for new

Brian, well that would not be a solution, a viable one at least. There needs to be an option that does not tell all Ubuntu users they need to install something to avoid something that should not be happening in the first place because of how it is perceived. One proposed solution is, during the

The crash reports which apport is notifying users about are going to errors.ubuntu.com for stable (non-development) releases of Ubuntu. This information is then aggregated for developers so that we know which crashes are affecting the most users and can then prioritize crashes. Without the

I agree that Apport popups are annoying and very user-unfriendly, but IMHO disabling it altogether is not the right approach, it might be better to show popups only when real user interaction is needed and available (for instance, in our case we have a lot of Apport popups on guest/public accounts

Yes, any option that helps it not involving the user would help the new users introduced to Ubuntu (Avoid getting the idea that Ubuntu is constantly having issues because of the popups) and still send the information. This can be something opt-in for the user when installing the system. -- You

I'm working with small numbers, but experience the same issue. But I would argue that if Apport is a part of a healthy Q.A. strategy then leave it in place, but don't involve the user with those pesky popups at login and run-time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
