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
