Yes we need some kind of API key that would be given to apport-collect to be authenticated to launchpad automatically without any browser launched
This REALLY need when we have a client that cannot start a graphic session. -- 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: Triaged 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
