Public bug reported:

I can't use Apport, it demands a github account and I don't have access
to one right now. And, besides I don't know whether the problem package
is firmware-updater or something else (possibly something that is
missing).

There is no easy way to view what firmware-updater downloaded and
updated for my computer. This manifests as the computer running well,
then firmware-updater downloads and installs something from the internet
and suddenly the computer crashes or hangs several times per day.

The problem here is that there is no easy and intuitive way to

1. See what exactly firmware-updater did to my computer.
2. Revert what it did to the previous "known good configuration".
3. Tell it "do not try to update now, I can't handle system crashes right now".

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04
Package: firmware-updater 0+git.22198be (but I am not sure if the bug is here 
or there is missing software)
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0
