ubuntu−bug − file a bug against an Ubuntu package
ubuntu−bug packagename
ubuntu−bug /path/to/program
ubuntu−bug PID
ubuntu−bug /var/crash/_my_program.crash
ubuntu−bug is a command-line interface for filing bugs in Ubuntu.
To report a bug against a particular binary package, supply it as an argument:
ubuntu−bug firefox
You can also supply a path to a program instead of a package name for the same result:
ubuntu−bug /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
In order to add more information to the bug report that could help the developers to fix the problem, you can also specify a process ID instead of (or in addition to) a package name:
$ pidof
gnome-terminal
5139
$ ubuntu-bug 5139
As a special case, to report a bug against the Linux kernel, you do not need to use the full package name (such as linux-image-2.6.28-4-generic); you can just use
ubuntu−bug linux
to report a bug against the currently running kernel.
Finally, you can use ubuntu−bug to report a crash report:
ubuntu−bug /var/crash/_bin_bash.1000.crash
ubuntu−bug detects whether KDE or Gnome is running and calls apport−gtk or apport−qt accordingly. If neither is available, or the session does not run under X11, it calls apport−cli for a command-line client.
apport and the accompanying tools are developed by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>.
