Public bug reported: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10
2.20.11-0ubuntu8.8 When ubuntu-bug is run without sudo or without being logged in as a superuser, ubuntu-bug prompts for your accounts password to execute its functionality as a superuser to gathered required debugging information. However, when input of the password is request of the user, the stdin line is ovverrun with dots that appear to be also entered into stdin, as the password authentication will always fail. stdin for users password shouldnt be ovverrun by dots produced by ubuntu-bug. I tried this numerous times to make sure it wasn't repeated typos, but it appears to be a bug. ~$ ubuntu-bug update-manager-core *** Collecting problem information The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the application.
