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.

Donarsson, from a Canonical perspective (I'll let them correct if I'm wrong here), they want to steer folks to errors.ubuntu.com so they can get a high level, statistical view on the issues, as well as granular ones. However, from a triager/non-Canonical developer perspective (who don't have access to that) it's still distinctly helpful to continue to report bugs the old fashioned way as already documented. If the project maintainers don't want to allow either the old fashioned way by default, or a combo of errors+old fashioned, but instead just leave it available for enablement as documented, that works for me. -- 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

I'm closing this as wontfix. We really want crashes to go to http://errors.ubuntu.com only for stable releases. Launchpad isn't suitable for these, both for privacy problems (stable users are much less prone to be able to decide whether a report might contain sensitive data), as well as scalability (Launchpad doesn't deal well with hundreds of duplicates, and a bug tracker isn't meant to). As you found out, there is still a way to do this manually upon request of a developer, but we don't want to make this any easier. > 1) 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/application.crash'; This works for (non-crash) bug reports and is integrated with the MIME system, i. e. you can file those by merely clicking on .crash files. IMHO this would make it too easy to send crashes to LP. So from what I've heard from Evan and Matthew we eventually want to move to errors.u.c even for the development release, and create bug reports off errors.u.c. when necessary. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- 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

More to say, AFAIK, a vast majority of packages stored in Ubuntu repos are NOT really maintained by dedicated persons, but are actually just auto-synced from Debian repositories (sometimes with minimal changes to make them buildable on Ubuntu), so, unfortunately, there's NO much help from reporting problems with such packages here on Launchpad.

I think we need to revisit this bug. Every day I am telling users "Please start by applying the workaround for bug 994921". Without that, we have bug reports describing crashes but no stack traces. So bugs would stay open indefinitely. By telling users to apply the workaround from bug 994921, I am quickly able to get a stack trace from them, deduplicate their original bug reports and _close_ the bug as a duplicate. It would be a faster and safer process if I didn't have to keep telling (often inexperienced) users to "apply the workaround from bug 994921". -- 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

I think it might be possible for any user to see their own automatic crash reports, but the process is a little obfuscated.
