Brian Murray, thanks for the quick response to this. I've subscribe a1291762 (who referenced this report) so I'll let this person/original reporter be the final authority here.
>"apport-collect is not for reporting bugs, but for updating bugs that already reported to Launchpad." To advise, as per the OR's Description the issue that is scoped to this report is when apport-collect is invoked on a headless (i.e. no GUI) server environment, further supported by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1547838/comments/25 , et. al. >"Perhaps you mean apport-bug or apport-cli?" This may affect apport-cli and apport-bug also, but I haven't confirmed this. >"If you mean apport-cli, it now contains the following function:" The scope of this report would appear still a live one as per LP1547838#25. However, if the changes you are referencing are after 2016-03-07, then perhaps a1291762 could speak to if this changed anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997020 Title: apport-collect does not work on headless servers Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It is essential that apport-collect works on a headless/non-X installs in order to report bugs. In this case, apport-collect tries to use a text-based browser to attempt to login to Launchpad. I tried lynx, links2, elinks and w3m. With elinks I get the following message: "Your Page Was Stale" after selecting "continue". This bug is related to #556927, #645024 and #683337. As these only concern the functioning of w3m, I would here like to raise the issue that a proper installation must make sure that a compatible text-based browser is installed and set as default. WORKAROUND: Execute the following: sudo apt-get install w3m sudo update-alternatives --set www-browser /usr/bin/w3m To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/997020/+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
