08:24 < ubottu> Bug 1972115 in apport (Ubuntu) 
                "ubuntu-bug <crashfile> exits after 
                dialog instead of sending data"

08:25 < bdmurray> I think that's of Low importance given 
                  its been like that forever
08:25 < bdmurray> Having said that Launchpad is the only 
                  way to have a conversation with a 
                  crash reporter at this point in time
08:25 < bdmurray> So it might be nice
08:25 < bdrung> would it make sense to have two options 
                in that case "send" and "create bug 
                report"?
08:26 < bdmurray> I wouldn't want it to be that 
                  accessible and have everyone clicking 
                  "create bug report".
08:27 < bdrung> so then maybe a command line parameter 
                to enable it?
08:28 < bdmurray> If somebody deliberately runs 
                  ubuntu-bug with a crash file it should 
                  go to both.
08:28 < bdmurray> Or a command line parameter.
08:28 < bdmurray> Anyway, let's go ahead and card this.

  ubuntu-bug <crashfile> exits after dialog instead of sending data

Bug description:
  After a gnome-shell crash, I am trying to manually submit it by
  running 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash'.  This
  results in an apport-gtk prompt asking me "Send problem report to the
  developers?"  When I click 'send', the dialog disappears and ubuntu-
  bug exits, without uploading data to launchpad or interfacing with the
  browser.
