@Dan, people are not asked to report bugs directly to Gnome but if the bug is actually in the upstream code, it needs to be forwarded to Gnome so that they can fix it.
The process works a bit like this: * You report the bug here, * A member of the Ubuntu BugSquad (like me) reproduces the bug and marks it as confirmed, * An Ubuntu maintainer, like Sebastien, checks whether the bug is specific to Ubuntu packaging or is a generic Gnome issue and if generic to Gnome asks for someone to forward it to Gnome, * Someone who has an account on the Gnome bug tracker (usually someone from BugSquad but it could be anybody) forwards it to Gnome and links back the Gnome bug to the Launchpad bug. The reason for doing this is that we need to validate first whether the bug is Ubuntu specific or Gnome generic and only forward to Gnome when needed. So in short, you should always report the bug here first so that it can be evaluated. After that, it doesn't matter who the person is who forwards to Gnome as long they link back to the Launchpad bug so that the Gnome developers can be confident that the bug has been evaluated here first. That's what bug triaging is all about: working out who can fix it. And if you want to give a hand, you're welcome to join BugSquad :-) -- Nautilus gives Could not display "computer:///". error when unmounting a volume for the first time for that login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
