Try to report frequent desktop freeze

[BertN45]

I have a frequent desktop freeze on my intel graphics. The corresponding wiki says I have to ssh in from another computer, but I do not have another computer available. I use CTRL+ALT+F2 to enter in CLI mode and I start ubuntu-bug. It nicely comes with the standard questions. At the end of that sequence it asks to start the browser, but that does not work. It also says you can report the problem using another computer, but the bug-identification to be used for launchpad is at least 50 characters long and it is easy to make a mistake if you write it down.

I also tries the option to keep the crashdump and to report it later, but the crashdump is not in the /tmp directory as promised.

So how to report that desktop freeze?

Have you looked in /var/crash?

[BertN45]

Yes I looked there too, but nothing with the promised name and/or crash date and time.

I'm just curious as to which type of graphical hardware you are using.

Oh yes .. Intel graphics but..

My complaint is not so much that a freeze occurs in the development version, but that there is no way to report it, if you have only one system with Ubuntu.
OK the hardware:

I tried the third method to report the freeze using CTRL+ALT+F2, by writing down the complete URL, that they promised I needed to complete the bug-report and I typed that URL in the browser. That URL is not known by launchpad. That failed too, so I give up. Hopefully someone else with two computers will file that freeze. It is an old problem, since it also occurs say once a week in 12.04, but in 13.04 it seems to happen a couple of times per day.

Here is what I was able to do. So it appears that apport is now working here from the GUI/terminal.
