My investigation lead to https://launchpad.net/whoopsie-preferences where https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie- preferences/tree/src/whoopsie-preferences.c corresponds the auto- reporting with a file /var/lib/apport/autoreport being present or not.
So enabling auto-reporting: sudo touch /var/lib/apport/autoreport Disabling auto-reporting: sudo rm -f /var/lib/apport/autoreport -- 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/2099680 Title: Please document how to enable/disable autoreporting Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We got the question: How is apport autoreporting enabled in a headless system? I found https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how- to/software/report-a-bug/ but that does not say anything about the autoreporting. I found a lot of very old documentation that did not help. Please document how to enable/disable autoreporting. In case this documentation lives outside the apport code base, the documentation in the apport code should point to that documentation.
