<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I was wondering what methods people use to report their bugs when .iso
testing?
For example, I typically access a virtual console on the VM (or hw test
machine) by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2 and then due to the difficulty of
displaying a browser window in the command line environment, I then ssh in
from another machine with the -X parameter and run 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity'
(as a typical example) from there. Finally I then complete the bug report
in the browser on a different machine, ensuring I get the most accurate
information available to attach for the developers.
Are there any other ways that anyone knows of or consistently uses
themselves??

ubuntu-bug is a wrapper around apport-cli and apport-cli has an option
for saving the report for later. The documentation says:
--save=PATH In bug filing mode, save the collected information
into a file instead of reporting it. This file can
then be reported later on from a different machine.
Saving the bug report to a file can be useful when the machine you are
testing on does not have internet access. After saving the file and
moving it to a system with internet access you can use 'apport-cli
my.crash' (where my.crash is the saved crash file) to send the report to
Launchpad.
