How to access incomplete apport reports?

Asked by Alistair Buxton

I am testing natty on a netbook, and a bug happens. I report it through the apport popup. Firefox will open up with the "partial" (not yet submitted) report but I want to fill in extra details using my desktop system. Is there a way to access my in-progress reports without knowing the URLs?

You can add further details to any bug report after you submit it; all of your reported bugs are available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/~a-j-buxton/+reportedbugs

Unfortunately this does not answer my question. Consider the following scenario:

I report a bug using apport. While trying to submit it, I accidentally close firefox. The bug report contained a 100mb stack dump and I don't want to wait for it to upload again. How do I access the *partial*, *incomplete*, *unsubmitted* bug report, without knowing it's URL?

After reading some manual pages it turns out that if you run apport from the terminal with no X environment it will give the URL for the partial report and ask whether to open the browser. So all I need to do is log in on ssh (without -X) from my desktop machine and I'll have the URL on the shell scrollback - and the link is clickable too. This solves both scenarios.
