Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
(This is feistyu) I found a way to make network-admin crash. I get the notification that a crash report has been detected. I get the "the program has quit unexpectedly" window. I click "report bug" there, it asks if I want the full report or the compact one, I choose the full, a progress bar comes up and tells me to wait, and at some point it disappears and that's it. No link opens in the browser. I'm running compiz but have reported other bugs successfully. Same things happens with the "compact" report option.

I have no idea off-hand what could have gone wrong, so we need to poke a bit: Can you please do the following:
$ killall update-notifier *network- admin*. crash apport/ apport- gtk
$ touch /var/crash/
$ /usr/share/
This should re-trigger apport-gtk for the network-admin crash. Do you get any output at the command line?
What is your default browser? You said that opening the browser works for other bugs/crashes?
What is the output of
$ dpkg -l '*apport*' python- problem- report
?
