[Bug 1982685] Re: automatic bug reporting collects failure information then fails to submit to launchpad

[Benjamin Drung]

This is the expected behavior on stable releases. On stable releases,
reporting crashes to Launchpad is disabled. The crashes will be
submitted to the error tracker (see https://errors.ubuntu.com/) instead.
That's why no browser window will open.

For jammy apport 2.20.11-0ubuntu81 says: "etc/apport/crashdb.conf:
Disable Launchpad crash reports for 22.04 release."

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How_to_enable_apport how to enable it
for stable release again.

Since you are not the first user and probably most user don't know this
wiki page, we probably should adjust the workflow.

** Description changed:

  I can trigger a core dump by running:
  
  ```
  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland mu-editor
  Logging to /home/graingert/.cache/mu/log/mu.log
  Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
  qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
  This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
  
  Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl,
  offscreen, vnc, xcb.
  
  Aborted (core dumped)
  ```
  
  this opens the error collection dialogue, I choose to submit a bug
  report and then nothing happens. I expected to get firefox opened to a
  web page with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mu-
  editor/+filebug/{redacted-uuid}
