[Bug 2060433] [NEW] Lack of GUI handled poorly

[Erkin Alp Güney]

Public bug reported:

As the graphical session failed to start, I tried to invoke apport-
collect from terminal (with multi-user.target -ish level of services
having already started), but it redirected me to the "default" browser,
which happens to be firefox for GUI and lynx for terminal in my case. I
couldn't progress after the password prompt as lynx apparently doesn't
support http Referer feature. Here, apport should present its own login
prompt or allow fetching the access token from system keyring for more
robustness.
