[Bug 1809247] Re: SetReportCrashes to true dbus call failed

[Sondra Kinsey]

Could we get this fix pushed out into the repositories? It can be pretty
annoying and confusing to users if you have other issues which cause
application crashes fairly frequently.

For users to fix this:
1) Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal
2) Enter this command:
      sudo apt install whoopsie-preferences
