[Bug 1956415] Re: wiki pages about filing bug reports have out of date info

[erik flister]

i'm in gnome.  i open a terminal:

$ ubuntu-bug -w

it types back:


*** 

After closing this message please click on an application window to
report a problem about it.

Press any key to continue...


after that, i can hit a bunch of keys, click a bunch of things, and nothing happens.  if i ctrl-c, i get:

  File "/usr/bin/apport-cli", line 387, in <module>
    if not app.run_argv():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 734, in run_argv
    (out, err) = xprop.communicate()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 1134, in communicate
    stdout, stderr = self._communicate(input, endtime, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 1979, in _communicate
    ready = selector.select(timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/selectors.py", line 416, in select
    fd_event_list = self._selector.poll(timeout)

Title:
  wiki pages about filing bug reports have out of date info

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage and
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

  both say that you can find the right package for a bug in a window'ed app using 
  ubuntu-bug -w

  the former also says you can:
  Launch System -> Preferences -> Main Menu.
  Select the item for the application. (For example, System -> Preferences -> Display.)
  Click "Properties" button.
  Write down the "Command" value. 

  or
  xprop WM_CLASS

  none of those work for me in 21.10.
