Reportbug launches an editor for you edit your report. I do not recall any meta-commands from reportbug but it is possible this came from the editor. I think very likely the editor was talking to you at that moment. (Many people will think Emacs here bug M-G is not an emacs command that would be asked for in this context. So I am thinking it is another editor.) If you are having difficulty with the editor you were using then you may choose a different one. Either by setting the EDITOR variable or by passing in the --editor command line option argument. reportbug --editor=nano > I Ctrl X and was at a screen where it said it would send the report > but i am unsure i have sent the bug report. Reportbug should have given you a prompt similar to this: Submit this report on foo (e to edit) [Y|n|a|c|e|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]? Typing Y at that prompt would have sent the email and submitted the bug report. The BTS would then have sent you back an email confirmation. Wait for it. It frequently takes a bit of time. Usually within an hour but you might have to wait as long as a day if there is a problem. Bob
