ubuntu-bug should work with DISPLAY set to an remote display. I checked the code: It does not fiddle around with the DISPLAY environment variable.
Can you check if X11 is used instead of wayland? Have you tried calling /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk directly? Is /usr/share/apport/apport-kde affected as well? -- 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/1989545 Title: ubuntu-bug fails when run via remote SSH login Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on my desktop. I SSH into my laptop running 22.04: desktop$ ssh laptop laptop$ sudo -sE laptop# If I now run most any X11 client applications (e.g. xload, xterm) using this laptop SSH command line, they correctly open windows on my desktop X11 display, not on my laptop, using the DISPLAY variable set to localhost:10.0. But ubuntu-bug does not do this when I run it on the laptop: laptop# ubuntu-bug /etc/network/if-up.d/resolved At this point, the laptop display incorrectly has the apport X11 window open. The apport window does not open on my desktop, like any other X11 application would. It appears to ignore my DISPLAY variable. If I go over to the laptop and try to continue with the bug report, everything falls apart when it tries to start up a web browser. I get all these error messages on my SSH terminal screen: update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/local/share/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts none bind,ro 0 0): not a directory update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/share/libreoffice/help /usr/share/libreoffice/help none bind,ro 0 0): cannot create directory "/usr/share/libreoffice/help": permission denied update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/share/xubuntu-docs /usr/share/xubuntu-docs none bind,ro 0 0): cannot open directory "/var/lib": permission denied /home/username/Music was removed, reassigning MUSIC to homedir X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
