They'll give you an idea of what kind of extra info to ask for on certain bugs. For example, asking the people with audio bugs to run "apport-collect -p alsa-base 12345" (replacing 12345 with their bug number) if they haven't attached alsa-info output or an alsa-info link....is quite useful. You may find it useful to hang out in #ubuntu-bugs on IRC in case you have any questions. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
