Fortunately the consoles still work and that apport-bug works with lynx.
 The launchpad interface could do with a little refining to make it more
lynx-friendly.  I was finally able to get through and it is bug #1041625
 It didn't seem to be able to take attachments via lynx so I had to ssh
in and move data to a machine with Firefox.

I'm not sure how late I'll be up toady but for sure I'll be able to do
more with it tomorrow.
