Ok, I followed these instructions:

Basic Backtrace

For most people, this is all that needs to be followed.

1) Install the 'mythtv-dbg' and/or 'mythplugins-dbg' packages to add debugging symbols to your system.

# sudo apt-get install mythtv-dbg mythplugins-dbg

2) Modify /etc/default/apport to set "enabled" to 1

3) Start the apport service. "sudo start apport"

4) When your crash happens, it will ask you to submit a bug report. Submit the full report. You'll need a launchpad account for this.

Step 4 did not happen. When the crash happened, mythtvfrontend just went away, it did not ask me to submit a report.
The contents of /etc/default/apport are as follows:

$ cat apport
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo service apport start force_start=1
enabled=1

# set maximum core dump file size (default: 209715200 bytes == 200 MB)
maxsize=209715200

What should I have done differently?
