Public bug reported: Not sure Apport is the correct package.
When something crashes, e.g. Xorg, a popup appears informing of that and offering the possibility to report the error. However, the issue is that: 1 - it does not give you the slightest feedback of whether the error was reported succesfully. Immediately after clicking on Report, the window closes and syou see nothing else (or you see the reporting questions, such as that below, but never any progress information about the reporting process). 2 - it doesn't provide a link to any publicly accessible information about the reported error. I don't know if such public information is available, if it is not then it should. I don't know if a bug is opened in Launchpad or any other public bugtracker. If it is not then it should. Actually it should definitely offer the possibility to login on Launchpad and file a launchpad bug report (in addition to whatever it already does) if one has an account. 3 - It even goes to the extreme point of nonsense that, if the crash is in Xorg, it asks you the usual question that ubuntu-bug would ask: whether you are willing to do additional debugging work if asked by the developers. Well, suppose I say Yes: how the hell are developers supposed to contact me?? I don't think my email is stored anywhere in the system, so unless it opens a browser and gives me an opportunity to log in on Launchpad how does it know?
