OP disabled apport. I never really cared for apport. I wish Ubuntu would allow us to file bugs without needing apport.

You can, just go to launchpad and file a bug there.

Click on Report a bug here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu

It takes you here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

How do I report bugs MANUALLY via Launchpad? I can tell you, you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the ReportingBugs page to find out that you can just put ?no-redirect on the URL. They should really have no-redirect on by default:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect

Is that something new? I remember reporting a bug without apport but by just filling out a form in launchpad.

Re-read my post. They do allow you JUST to do launchpad, but you have to do some fancy no-redirect stuff. It's been like this since 9.04.

The redirect only works in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu

If you already know which package the bug is affecting, then you just open the package or software page in launchpad and report a bug there.

It seems (and this is my guess) that the reason why trying to bug report in /ubuntu redirects you to the wiki is because they want to minimize guess work and overwork by letting (or educating) users fill the bug report to the right package name instead of dumping everything on "ubuntu"

Apport is authomatic and knows which package to fill the bug to.
