Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apport
For some insane reason, apport-bug insists on using seamonkey instead of
my prefered webbrowser Firefox. (Yes, I tried setting Firefox as my
prefered web browser using Xfce's settings editor, but that didn't help.
And maybe I'm blind, but I couldn't find any 'settings'
button/menu/etc. in apport-bug itself either).
It's not just that I prefer Firefox in general, but also that I had my
launchpad password stored in Firefox, but not in seamonkey. So I had to
report the password as forgotten, and create a new one. And to make
matters worse, launchpad seems to be really anal about password
security, which I find somewhat silly. This is, after all, just a
bugtracking system.
(BTW, I really don't understand the point with making people use this
apport thingie at all. Do you really WANT people to be completely pissed
off when they report bugs? Wouldn't it be a lot better if bug reporters
were in a friendly, polite mood indstead? Instead of spending 15 minuted
on reporting an exiting readline/bash bug, I've spent about 1 h on
calming down enough to report this bug without excessive use of the
F-word)
(For the record, I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 on amd64, and the version of
apport I have installed is 1.14.1-0ubuntu8.1. (Why do you ask me to tell
you this? Isn't the supposed point with apport to gather this kind of
information automatically?))
