[Bug 1835711] Re: some systems have whoopsie disabled but active

[Brian Murray]

I've changed the title of this bug report to reflect the situation your
system (and mine too by the way) is in. There is a different bug about
not being to use ubuntu-bug when whoopsie is disabled and inactive and
that is scheduled to be worked on soon. I don't believe there are a lot
of systems in the situation this bug is about and that using 'sudo
systemctl enable whoopsie' is an acceptable workaround. That being said
I'm going to leave this bug report open for others to find and collect
data about the number of people affected.

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu-bug collects bug data but does not upload it
+ some systems have whoopsie disabled but active

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  some systems have whoopsie disabled but active

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm trying to report some bugs from a stable release, 18.04. I enabled
  apport reporting as suggested
  here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Reporting_a_crash_in_the_stable_release
  and also here: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/disable-apport-error-
  reporting-ubuntu-16-04-lts

  I also have whoopsie package installed.

  When I try to report a bug using `ubuntu-bug $package_name` it seem to
  be collecting data, but then it doesn't send them to launchpad.
