How to report bugs ================== Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> Report it upstream ------------------ In most cases, it is preferrable to report the bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg See https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs for a good introduction on how to write useful bug reports. While the document is targeted at Intel graphics hardware, it is a good guideline for other vendor’s hardware as well. Simple as reportbug ------------------- Initial report ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unless you know which package to report the bug against, you can report the bug against the `xorg` metapackage: ---- reportbug xorg ---- Like most packages related to the X server, reporting a bug against this package triggers a bug script which is going to collect X-related information, be it installed packages, running kernel, X configuration, X log, and so on. **** .Note In case this metapackage wasn’t used to install your X stack, report a bug against `xserver-xorg` instead. And if that one isn’t installed either, go for `xserver-xorg-core`. **** If a backtrace shows up in the X log, it’s much appreciated to try and get a link:use-gdb.html[full backtrace using gdb]. Follow-up with more info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you reported a bug against another package and if that bug was reassigned to an X-related package, we might need more information. You can run the bug script manually and attach its output to your mail to the bug report: ---- /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script 3>/tmp/script.log ---- **** .Note Make sure there’s no space between `3` and `>`, that’s a shell redirection. ****
