I've added myself to this bug report. I do some QA-testing of Ubuntu (flavors) using various old boxes, some of which have useless/tiny keyboards, plus there are rare occasions where the gui becomes unreadable (the reason for the bug-report)
I've learnt to work around it for the most part (eg. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxqt- panel/+bug/1809205/comments/0) but it'd be nice to not have to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831351 Title: Please provide option to continue bug report from different computer Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There are some situations where it is desirable to gather debugging information on a system affected by a bug, but to login (to Launchpad/Ubuntu SSO) and complete editing this bug report from a different system. This is already implemented for situations where the affected system runs headless, i.e. servers without a graphical display. However, this should also be a user choice exposed as a command line option to ubuntu-bug (which, at least according to --help it currently is not). A common use case where this would be nice to have is testing software in a VM, but not wanting to expose Ubuntu SSO credentials to this VM (e.g. for security concerns). Another use case is a need to report a serious bug in the default web browser where this web browser is unable to access any websites. There is a workaround: DISPLAY= ubuntu-bug somepackage Unfortunately this means the debugging data collection phase will provide a text-only UI instead of the nicer / more user-friendly GTK one.
