Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

Ubuntu 9.10 beta, apport 1.9.2-0ubuntu2.
When trying to report a bug relating to fsck, i couldn't get apport to run at all. I used every method on Ubuntu docs "Reporting bugs" with no success. In terminal typing /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk does nothing and /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk -f opens a window asking,"what kind of problem do you want to report", when selecting "other problem" a window opens saying " you need to specify a package or a pid...but there is nowhere to do this.Shutting down completely for 10 minutes and restarting , or simply restarting makes no difference. I have checked every log that i could find but i cant find anything.
Unfortunately at this time I cant provide any data to help with this problem, but will be happy to try and provide anything that you think will help.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I have the same problem - it's impossible to report a bug under the "other" category because apport-gtk does not ask for a package or pid.
