** Description changed: Ubuntu 12.04 apport 2.6.1-0ubuntu10, Ubuntu 12.10 + apport 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2, Ubuntu 13.10 1. In a release version of Ubuntu, trigger an error in something that has Apport hooks. What happens: You are asked questions which are often false and usually - not understandable. For example: "It seems you have modified the - contents of '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'. Would you like to add the contents - of it to your bug report?" (You haven't, and there is no bug report.) Or - for a GPU hang, "Did your system recently lock up or require a hard - reboot?" + not understandable. For example: + + "It seems you have modified the contents of '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'. + Would you like to add the contents of it to your bug report?" + https://launchpadlibrarian.net/124496439/apport-question.png -- You + haven't, and there is no bug report. + + "Thanks for reporting this bug on unity. Is the issue you are reporting purely graphical (will report more information about your graphic configuration and will report the bug against compiz)?" + https://launchpadlibrarian.net/117922627/apport%20%28ubuntu-bug%20unity%20%231%29.png -- "Purely grapical" is unexplained, and there is no bug report. + + "Did your system recently lock up or require a hard reboot?" -- What's a + "hard reboot"? What should happen: You are not asked any questions. + If all reporters of actual bugs are expected to use English, hiding + these questions from non-reporters might also resolve bug 855337. + [Originally reported by Katie Taylor.]
