The ”Filing bugs when off-line” section of the bug reporting community help can be applied here:
First, on the target system, gather the information in a file:
- For a bug report about a system crash:
apport-cli -p <package name> --save bug.crash
- For a bug report about any other issue:
apport-cli -f -p <package name> --save bug.apport
You will need to answer a few questions, which will vary depending on which package the bug report is about. Relevant system information, including the package name, is then saved on the target system, in the current directory. The extension indicates if it is a crash report or another kind of report. If you decide to rename the report file, please keep the .apport or .crashextension.
When the file is ready, copy it to the system you intend to use for filing the report. There you can then file the report:
ubuntu-bug -c <apport_file.extension>
I know I can file a bug report on the local machine by running `ubuntu-bug`. But what about when I have a bug on another computer elsewhere so that it’s not convenient to get to it physically to file a report there? Can I use Ubuntu’s bug reporting tools to gather data about the bug remotely, transfer that data to my local machine and submit a bug report here with the data from the other system?
This looks slightly more straightforward than thebodzio’s method, so I’m picking this as answering my original query for ”easiest”. For some reason both Colorify and Colorize have been translated as ”Väritä” in my (Finnish) locale, so it would’ve been difficult to realize it’s actually two different functions. They’re not particularly easy to tell apart in English either…
Okay, thanks for the advice Eric. I do intend to post here if I do come across a solution, so I’ll keep this open for now. Software updater in current releases looks different, so I’ll probably close this in any case once the next LTS comes around and I’ve upgraded.
Uh, except there’s no ”abandoned” alternative in the closing alternatives, and the question is still valid.
Never got Compiz to do the job, so I’m closing this as Eric suggested. FWIW, this devilspie script seems to work: (if (matches (application_name) ”^update-manager$”) (maximize))
Edullinen perusmuistikampa. Ei minkäänlaisia asennusvaikeuksia, täyttää määrittelynsä asiallisesti ja aiempien Kingston-kokemuksien perusteella tälläkin odotettavissa pitkä elinikä yhteensopivien laitteiden kanssa.
I’m failing to follow you in the second paragraph. I thought it was the K editions that are targeted at enthusiasts, being more overclockable and all.
That’s what I always wondered when the Bible talks about salt losing saltiness.
