Reporting a bug

When reporting a problem with hardware detection, you should report the bug against the appropriate linux-source-2.6.xx package. For example, the correct package in Malone for Dapper is linux-source-2.6.15, for Edgy is linux-source-2.6.17, for Feisty it is linux-source-2.6.20, for Gutsy it is linux-source-2.6.22 and for Hardy its linux-source-2.6.24

Also, all reports should contain the following information. Please be sure to attach these files to the bug report.

  • uname -a > uname-a.log

  • cat /proc/version_signature > proc_version_signature.log

  • sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

  • dmesg > dmesg.log

If the system is not correctly detecting a USB device, also attach the output of:

  • lsusb > lsusb.log
