Comment 17 for bug 1125759

apport-unpack can be used to decompress the .crash file to review things locally, however note this doesn't run the apport hook itself, so it contains a subset of the stuff usually collected into bug reports.

apport-collect <bug-number> run from the troubled machine will collect the appropriate data files, and post them to the bug report. Run it only after reproducing the error (e.g. while system is in failsafe, or locked up or whatever.)
