I did not go the email route as I did not know that they do not use the bug tracker. I guess whats the point of it if they don't check it. Where I work, we make use of our bug tracker as its intended. They should also remove that option from that previous link you posted if its not used. At the rate this is going, it probably would have been easier to just taken the time to fix the bug and submit a patch to fix it.
I guess at this point, would you still like an email sent to the list? I assume L: linux-in...@vger.kernel.org and that list is rediculously long to have to search through just to submit a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093237 Title: [Dell Inspiron Inspiron 17R SE 7720] TouchPad detected as Generic Mouse Status in The Linux Kernel: Unknown Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 17R SE.
