This would be a possible option for developers, yes. That's bug 75901. However, it isn't the standard mode of operation because it needs lots and lots of debug symbols to download. > Yeah.

Right, she can't, and I don't expect her to. That's why we disable apport in stable releases. :-) Thank you, Martin -- should try to sanitize passwords from attachments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
