It's not in $PATH, and in the Unix philosophy of "no news is good news" I don't think we should add an extra string (which needs to be translated) for this. > And what about some menu entry for bug reporting?

We had that once, but it leads to a myriad of very low-quality bug reports against wrong packages (or no packages at all); if we get this, we need an application which guides the reporter through filing a bug. We don't have anything like that so far, though. -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, that's probably it. But shouldn't apport-gtk at least give some response/message when you start it without arguments? And what about some menu entry for bug reporting?

Ah, I think you stumbled over /usr/share/applications/apport-gtk- mime.desktop . This is not at all meant for a menu entry, but just tells nautilus that when clicking on a .crash file it should open it with apport-gtk. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 321156] Re: apport-gtk does not do anything
Another thing: No reaction when clicking on it is a very bad thing. apport-gtk should at least make a message that there are no crash- reports right now to report (and perhaps with a question if I want to fill in a bug report anyway). When I click on such a link, I would expect at least *any* reaction, not nothing, that seems always like there is something broken. -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 321156] Re: apport-gtk does not do anything
With the Gnome menu editor, I looked through all the available items in my menu. A lot of them were unselected. One of these was the item "Report bug". This item was a startlink to "/usr/share/apport/apport- gtk" but I would have guessed that this would be a startlink to open Launchpad with a new bug report. So I guessed wrong. But perhaps it could be a good idea to have some "report bug" link directly in the Gnome menu. -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 321156] Re: apport-gtk does not do anything
If you want to use apport-gtk directly, you have to call it with -f. What do you mean with "it was already there but unselected"? > Isn't there also a link which opens that webpage?

[Bug 321156] Re: apport-gtk does not do anything
Ah, I added the "report bug" in the Gnome main menu (it was already there but unselected) and I guessed that it would open the website. But it was linked to apport-gtk, so I assumed wrong. Isn't there also a link which opens that webpage? 'ubuntu-bug apport' did work, though. -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 321156] Re: apport-gtk does not do anything
"report bug" should have opened a webbrowser page with a Launchpad bug reporting page; didn't it? If it doesn't, can you please open a terminal window and do ubuntu-bug apport If that still doesn't open a LP page, and prints out some stuff, can you please copy&paste the output here? if you just call apport-gtk without arguments, it processes the currently pending crash reports. Presumably you just didn't have any at that time. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- apport-gtk does not do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
