Addressing the specific issue of not being able to use "ubuntu-bug
linux", I've tried to recreate on two systems running xenial and a fresh
install of xenial and was unsuccessful. We can see that apport in
appor/ui.py has special casing for linux.
391 def run_report_bug(self, symptom_script=None):
392 '''Report a bug.
...
441 # "Do what I mean" for filing against "linux"
442 if self.options.package == 'linux':
443 self.cur_package = apport.packaging.get_kernel_package()
Then in apport/packaging.py we have:
621 def get_kernel_package(self):
622 '''Return the actual Linux kernel package name.
623
624 This is used when the user reports a bug against the "linux"
package.
625 '''
626 # TODO: Ubuntu specific
627 return 'linux-image-' + os.uname()[2]
Do you have linux-image-4.4.0-2-generic installed?
** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
