Apport is a tool on Ubuntu that automatically detects program crashes and creates reports. When a process terminates abnormally, it collects information such as the core dump, stack trace, and package versions into /var/crash and asks the user whether to report it to Launchpad. It is enabled and disabled in /etc/default/apport, and is the counterpart of ABRT on RHEL-based systems.
