[Bug 1630720] Re: ubuntu-bug does not open a browser under unity8 session

[Michael]

Don't sure whether its related, but a quick strace reveals:

open("_usr_bin_nautilus.1000.upload", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_END)                   = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffdc2c35a80)        = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffdc2c35a20)        = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR)                   = 0
close(3)                                = 0


This file is left empty. TCGETS seems to be terminal settings?

Title:
  ubuntu-bug does not open a browser under unity8 session

Status in Apport:
  New
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce:

  1. Have a mobile device wth ubuntu touch.
  2. Plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, activating desktop mode.
  3. Open a terminal and run "ubuntu-bug apport" (or any package you like.)

  Expected result:

  A browser window should open allowing the user to report the bug.

  Actual result:

  apport asks a series of questions in the terminal, finally asking the
  user if they want to launch a browser. Choosing to launch the browser
  causes apport to exit. No browser window is opened and the bug is not
  reported.
