## 20121021 https://launchpad.net/~penalvch Now that we are in the apport era, when one files a bug using it against the linux package via ubuntu-bug linux, a requirement as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Missing_Apport_Information , the following attachments (that requesting is redundant) are automatically attached to the bug report:
## BootDmesg.txt -> dmesg, gives very similar info as uname -a, and gives exactly same as cat
## CurrentDmesg.txt -> dmesg
## Lspci.txt -> lspci ---vvnn

= Reporting a bug =

When reporting a problem with hardware detection, you should report the bug against the kernel. Beginning with the Hardy release, all kernel bugs should be reported against the '''linux''' kernel source package.

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
 * When reporting a problem with hardware detection, you should report the bug against the [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux|linux]] kernel package.
 * If the system is not correctly detecting a USB device, also '''attach''' the output of:
  * lsusb -v > lsusb-v.log
