Same for me, it seems like whoopsie-preferences is not installed by default
v@v-IdeaPad-U330p:~$ /usr/bin/gdbus call -y -d com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences -o \ /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences -m com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences.SetReportCrashes true Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences was not provided by any .service files It can be fixed by installing whoopsie-preferences v@v-IdeaPad-U330p:~$ sudo apt-get install -y whoopsie-preferences -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to whoopsie-preferences in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1810840 Title: whoopsie can't remember "always report" setting Status in whoopsie-preferences package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After ticking the checkbox for whoopsie to automatically always send crash reports, I get the following error dialog (screenshot attached): *Can't remember send report status settings* Saving crash report state failed.

I'm pretty sure this error happens because whoopsie-preferences was not installed; afterwards I installed whoopsie-preferences and manually ran in a terminal: $ /usr/bin/gdbus call -y -d com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences -o /com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences -m com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences.SetReportCrashes true and got a return value of () but no errors or warnings. This computer was freshly-installed with Xubuntu 18.04 less than 2 weeks ago... I've kept a record of everything I changed since then, and I've only removed five packages (sgt-puzzles, gnome-sudoku, gnome- mines, pidgin, mousepad). If whoopsie-preferences is not included in a fresh install of (X)ubuntu, then perhaps it should be; in any case, if it isn't installed then the checkbox for making crash reporting automatic should not be visible. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy whoopsie whoopsie: Installed: 0.2.62 Candidate: 0.2.62 Version table: *** 0.2.62 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy whoopsie-preferences whoopsie-preferences: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.19 Version table: 0.19 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie-preferences/+bug/1810840/+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
