[ubuntu-uk] Error report not working

[Kris Douglas]

A bug can be a flaw in an otherwise functional program, like a typo or an
unclickable button. A crash is when the program ceases to respond to user
interaction, usually seen as it just closing.

An example of a crash on say, android, is when you get a "force close"
message.
