--- Begin Message ---Package: reportbug Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainers, reportbug(1) supplies system information when generating a bug template. > -- System Information: > Debian Release: buster/sid > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) > Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), > LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > LSM: AppArmor: enabled I believe it would be desirable to have a line about desktop environment used by a reporter. The tool can identify DE via the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable mentioned in Desktop Entry Specification[1]. pam_systemd(8) sets the XDG_SESSION_TYPE, the XDG_SESSION_CLASS, and the XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP environment variables; they can be taken into account as well. The legacy and non-standardized DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable could also be read. [1]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html Please consider to include this information to bug reports to help maintainers investigate issues in GUI applications. It could looks like > DE: MATE or > DE: XFCEsignature.asc

--- Begin Message ---> I can judge from my point of view only. There are some bugs in the > telegram-desktop package where this information would be useful. i think that you'd be better served by adding a bug-script to telegram-desktop to collect the information you need to properly debug issues with that package. While there's could potentially be some value in adding the DE information on all bugs, the bar needed is substantially higher than what demonstrated here Given there is already support in reportbug to support telegram-desktop needs, i'm going to close this ticket; we can re-evaluate at a later time if further interest is shown.
