Actually, at that point, you could have done 'ubuntu-bug apport.xorg.R2kK2P.apport' and ubuntu-bug would have attempted to use the gui based bug reporters (e.g. apport-gtk) and web browser for filing the bug report, if they were installed. You're not stuck using the cli tools to file saved reports and crashes. One improvement that ought to be made to apport's gui tools is to expose the ability to save a crash or bug report for later filing; at a minimum, offering to save the report if apport failed to upload the report to launchpad would help. -- Steve Beattie <[email protected]> http://NxNW.org/~steve/
