Bug Description
Due to this bug #628727 I had to run 'ubuntu-bug xorg' from a tty console.
This is the actual situation:
1) It uses w3m as text browser to connect to Launchpad
2) When you are on the log in page, you can't click on 'Continue' because it's a button and w3m seems to not support this yet.
3) So I couldn't report the bug that way but I had to access launchpad from another pc copying the link provided.
There are 3 way to resolve this issue:
1) Convert Launchpad 'Continue' and 'Sing in' buttons to links.
2) Give w3m support to buttons.
2) Use lynx as text browser instead of w3m.
This bug is critical when you can't report a bug using GUI due to video related issues.

W3M actually supports buttons. I think this is a bug in login.launchpad.net that uses:
<button type="submit" ...>Continue
instead of:
<input type="submit" ...>Continue
