That check is done for any type of report, not just crashes, and subsequently people can not use ubuntu-bug to report bugs if whoopsie is disabled which is wrong as whoopsie is only for uploading crashes to the Error Tracker. Test Case --------- 1) On a system with Gnome installed use the Privacy control panel and set "Send error reports to Canonical" to Off 2) In a terminal run 'ubuntu-bug gnome-terminal' 3) Click "Send" and observe nothing happening (if something does happen confirm that whoopsie is disabled via 'systemctl is-enabled whoopsie' - there may be a bug in the control panel) Regression Potential -------------------- The fix is just setting the value of a variable to True instead of checking to see if whoopsie is enabled so there really isn't any. However, it could cause a regression if there's a typo in the line being changed. Original Description -------------------- Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, X11 gnome session. For some reason ubuntu-bug <packagename> no longer opens a browser window, so it is not possible to enter useful bug detauls, or even know the bug number. After prompting whether or not to Send the report, clicking "Send" just closes appport and nothing else ever happens. The exit status of "ubuntu-bug" is zero. This worked fine before, but it has been many months since I tried to submit a bug. strace shows many stat calls on plausible browser paths, including the one that is correct (/usr/bin/firefox, which returned a successful stat call). I'll attach the trace output from strace -f -o /tmp/strace.log ubuntu-bug apport To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1814611/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
