Before the report sends, it certainly does say that it will open the report in the web browser. If one's paying attention, one should realize they don't have one. It actually tells you this twice. If you go all the way through, you do get xdg-open's usual "no method" complaint.
For that matter, should we choose to solve this with documentation, people will have to pay close attention to the documentation we provide to realize it won't work. The fact that the Ubuntu wiki page on reporting bugs doesn't really expressly mention the requirement of the browser further complicates things, but there again, they'd have to pay attention. My suggestion? Don't require a browser. I'm inclined to call this an apport bug. Even when looking at what folks do with Ubuntu Server, they still require a (text-based) browser and yet there are bugs that reference how that doesn't work (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/997020), either, so as far as I can tell, it's still a problem. ** Package changed: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) => apport (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2046383 Title: lubuntu - minimal install ; no browser means `ubuntu-bug` is broken Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Lubuntu noble installed using minimal install option. Side effect of no browser, will be if user discovers a bug, running `ubuntu-bug` ends up with a terse xdg-open method error. At the very least; this will need to be documented (ie. users will find they do need a web browser to be installed for some features), or another alternative utilized.
