Welcome to reportbug! Since it looks like this is the first time you have used reportbug, we are configuring its behavior. These settings will be
saved to the file "/home/roman/.reportbugrc", which you will be free to edit further.
Please choose the default operating mode for reportbug.
1 novice Offer simple prompts, bypassing technical questions.
2 standard Offer more extensive prompts, including asking about things that a moderately sophisticated user would be expected to know about
Debian.
3 advanced Like standard, but assumes you know a bit more about Debian, including "incoming".
4 expert Bypass most handholding measures and preliminary triage routines. This mode should not be used by people unfamiliar with Debian's
policies and operating procedures.
Select mode: [novice] standard
Please choose the default interface for reportbug.
1 text A text-oriented console user interface
2 gtk A graphical (GTK+) user interface.
Select interface: 1
Will reportbug often have direct Internet access? (You should answer yes to this question unless you know what you are doing and plan to check
whether duplicate reports have been filed via some other channel.) [Y|n|q|?]? Y
What real name should be used for sending bug reports?
[Roman Riabenko]>
Which of your email addresses should be used when sending bug reports? (Note that this address will be visible in the bug tracking system, so you
may want to use a webmail address or another address with good spam filtering capabilities.)
[roman@debian-laptop.riabenko.com]> roman@riabenko.com
Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet? [y|N|q|?]? N
Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it's called something like "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". If you need to use a
different port than default, use the <host>:<port> alternative format. Just press ENTER if you don't have one or don't know, and so a Debian SMTP
host will be used.
> smtp.fastmail.com:465
If you need to use a user name to send email via "smtp.fastmail.com:465" on your computer, please enter that user name. Just press ENTER if you
don't need a user name.
> roman@riabenko.com
Please enter the name of your proxy server. It should only use this parameter if you are behind a firewall. The PROXY argument should be formatted
as a valid HTTP URL, including (if necessary) a port number; for example, http://192.168.1.1:3128/. Just press ENTER if you don't have one or don't
know.
