This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.10-0ubuntu5
---------------
apport (2.20.10-0ubuntu5) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Assume if no whoopsie that crash reporting is enabled:
As the old configuration that was a whoopsie configuration file that was
that was never updated by the whoopsie API, we assume that no
whoopsie installed (not the default) == manual send report is allowed.
If people want to disable crash reporting:
- get whoopsie installed and disable crash reporting in g-c-c
- uninstall apport

Title:
Add a remember option to whoopsie so that users can diminish crash
interactions
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Bionic:
New
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
A lot of users are bother by the number of whoopsie dialog. We introduced on
"G-C-C privacy option don't allow sending manual report" bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1774597) a
way for users to change from always reporting manually (prompting an UI) to
auto reporting or never reporting, via a "Remember this in future".
This only impacts the apport gtk UI, still offering the underlying
capability to other UIs type without changing them.
This was a goal for 18.04, but due to a lack of time, we want to
introduce this in 18.04.1
[ Test Case ]
* There are multiples dialog forms (a good 20 of them), but they are all
covered by unit tests which have been updates. One use case would be:
* Install the new version and trigger a crash
* Check that the dialog has a "Remember this in future" option, check it,
and click send.
* Check in g-c-c UI, privacy option, that the crash reporting is now in auto
mode, always send.
* Revert in g-c-c to manual
* Create another crash, check "Remember this…" and click don't send
* Check in g-c-c UI that crash reporting is now disabled.
[ Regression potential ]
* The impacted code is both UI and fileutils. It's covered by an extensive
testsuite, and checking under KDE has also been done to not trigger a crash.
----
We introduce 5 enw strings to translate:
"Can't remember send report status settings"
"Saving crash reporting state failed. Can't set auto or never reporting mode."
"Remember this in future"
"Relaunch this application"
"Don't send"
We are reusing an existing transalted string "Send problem report to
the developers?"
