Bug Helper

Bughelper and its components are tools used by the BugSquad to facilitate triaging bugs and share knowledge about bugs. Learn more at ["BugHelper"].

Mailing lists

Almost all activity in Malone is relayed to a mailing list, [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs ubuntu-bugs]. You should subscribe to this list if you want to be notified about new bugs and what people are doing to existing ones.

However, it gets a lot of mail. If you just want to read about new bugs that were filed, you want the following [:Procmail] script. You should have the INBOX variable declared to point to the appropriate mailbox

# Only keep ubuntu-bugs mail that announces newly reported bugs.

* ^TO_ubuntu-bugs@lists\.ubuntu\.com

Bug bot

Nowadays we simply use Malone and our Bug bot works like this:

<slomo_> seb128: any ideas on bug #43597? seems to be really weird to me...
<Ubugtu> Malone bug 43597 in gtk+2.0 "ctrl-x makes text bold (instead of cut)" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/43597

For hysterical raisins

In #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-desktop we have a bug bot, which behaves like this:

<dholbach> ubuntu bug 15700
<Ubugtu> Ubuntu Bugzilla bug #15700: esound causes desktop session to hang Product: Ubuntu, Component: esound, Severity: normal, Assigned to: martin.pitt@ubuntu.com, Status: ASSIGNED http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15700

Which package does a file belong to?

Need to know which package is responsible for a certain file

dpkg -S /path/to/file

Also consider dlocate. See ["Bugs/FindRightPackage"] for more hints.
