This file enables or disables the automatic reporting of crashes to the Ubuntu Error Tracker. However, if we want to improve the user experience on devices then both whoopsie and apport should also be disabled. This can be done for apport by setting /etc/default/apport enabled=0. This can be done for whoopsie by setting /etc/default/whoopsie report_crashes=false.
