I've wasted several hours today trying to report a kernel oops. At the very least, as mentioned previously in https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/997283/comments/8, apport-cli(1) and the messages from the command should explain clearly what will, or won't, or has, or hasn't happened.
The wiki has a note, but if you go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs, then from Contents to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#System_crash, the note is just above there, and you'll only see it if you scroll up, and why would you scroll up? The note says "apport will appear to upload a crash report, but only actually does so if whoopsie is installed. Whoopsie is installed by default for users of ubuntu-desktop, but for users of alternative desktops, or for server users, whoopsie has to be installed manually with apt-get install whoopsie. See bug #1001630 for details." I don't understand why it's only Ubuntu users who can upload crash reports by default (I'm using Kubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994921 Title: 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' (and even more so, 'apport-cli -c /var/crash/app.crash') should still allow manual bug filing in stable releases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
