What tools exist to report bugs

http://askubuntu.com – As of today I only knew about ubuntu-bug which I could use to report bugs about a specific program. But now I learned about apport-collect and apport-bug which basically are: apport-bug - Reports problems to launchpad using Apport to collect a lot of information about your system to help the developers fix the problem and avoid unnecessary questions and answers. apport-collect - Works as apport-bug but it send the information to an already existing bug report. In my case it was apport-collect 1060268 Thanks to Brad Figg in Launchpad. Are there any other tools to report bugs? (HowTos)

I recently tried to update ubuntu today foolishly thinking it would fix another problem that i was having. To make a long story short i was working in gimp when i was prompted by the system that i had that ubuntu had encountered an error. when i tried to report the problem apport failed and had given me three errors ( i had tried to to report the problem three times).

In fresh Ubuntu 12.04 installation, it keeps popping up annoying apport error report dialog on every log-in even after sending the error report.

On December 17, Canonical published in a security notice details about an Apport exploit for its Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot), and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ((Lucid Lynx) operating systems.

According to Canonical, a hardening measure was added to the apport package.

It was discovered that an application running under an AppArmor profile, that allowed unconfined execu

Error with "apport" 36 weeks 4 days ago

I have an error with apport that has persisted over Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10. I have reported a bug but this is only happening in one of my systems, only in one account and not when I run it with sudo, so it is hard that anybody will look at this problem.

So my question is if anybody knows what configuration files of apport may be causing this error (I put the full description below).

Since Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, it keeps popping up an error says “Ubuntu has experienced an internal error” when something goes wrong.

Here’s the quick tip to turn off Apport Error Reporting in Ubuntu 12.10. Hit Ctrl+Alt+T, copy and paste this command into terminal and run to edit /etc/default/apport: sudo gedit /etc/default/apport

Change the value to 0 and save the file to disabl

What I want to know below is where to bug report the poor series of questions I'm being asked...

Every time I reboot (at least), I get a crash dialog ("Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error"). Clicking on show details shows the problem is with smbd, but the rest of the trace does not appear.
