Bug Description
I've got a GUI failure in my Raring system. I can log into a console session, but not a graphical one. But I cannot report the bug on that system because ubuntu-bug requires Firefox to be runnable.
So I'm going to have to report the problem on a different system, and hope the readers understand that the logs that are automatically attached do not apply to the bug.
A console version would make sense for this. It's not clear to me that I can file a bug directly in launchpad without going through ubuntu-bug, but I'll try that first.
