Comment 3 for bug 2046383

Before the report sends, it certainly does say that it will open the report in the web browser. If one's paying attention, one should realize they don't have one. It actually tells you this twice. If you go all the way through, you do get xdg-open's usual "no method" complaint.

For that matter, should we choose to solve this with documentation, people will have to pay close attention to the documentation we provide to realize it won't work. The fact that the Ubuntu wiki page on reporting bugs doesn't really expressly mention the requirement of the browser further complicates things, but there again, they'd have to pay attention.

My suggestion? Don't require a browser. I'm inclined to call this an apport bug. Even when looking at what folks do with Ubuntu Server, they still require a (text-based) browser and yet there are bugs that reference how that doesn't work (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/997020), either, so as far as I can tell, it's still a problem.
