| == Please Test Latest Development == | ||<tablestyle="background-color: #eee"> In order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following:<<BR>>1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder).<<BR>>2) The release names are irrelevant.<<BR>>3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream.<<BR>>4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .<<BR>><<BR>> If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: <<BR>> 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. <<BR>> 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. <<BR>><<BR>> If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: <<BR>> kernel-fixed-upstream <<BR>> kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ <<BR>> <<BR>> Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. <<BR>> <<BR>> If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: <<BR>> kernel-bug-exists-upstream <<BR>> kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ <<BR>> <<BR>> Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. <<BR>> <<BR>> Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so. <<BR>> <<BR>> It is most helpful that after testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed. <<BR>> <<BR>> Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available. <<BR>> <<BR>> Thank you for your help. || |

Request testing of latest upstream kernel
In order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following: |
Request full computer model
For some computers, while the computer manufacturer is provided via the Bug Description, the full computer model isn't provided. Hence, if one is interested in reviewing the computer specifications from the vendor's website, one may request this via the following:
Could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the sticker of the computer itself (not from the Bug Description, or the result of a terminal command)? |
Request BIOS update
For some computers, the BIOS being outdated manifests itself as various issues, both hardware not/intermittently working/working in a degraded state, or what seems software related, but ends up being hardware. Also, many upstream developers request this being updated, despite one having tested the latest mainline kernel, to help them rule out root causes. So, while it's not a hard requirement to have the BIOS updated before upstream, one is doing themselves, and upstream a great favor by ensuring it is.
As per your computer vendor's website, an update for your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available. When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation? |
As a courtesy to the original reporter, one may provide the direct URL to the BIOS update, along with the version they would want to update to.
Request submit to upstream
Please be sure before asking the original reporter to report a bug upstream, the Launchpad report has included enough information for an upstream developer to begin working on it (ex. regressions bisected, latest upstream kernel tested, call trace captured, etc.). Also, it is helpful to original reporters to advise them which maintainer(s) to send this to, and which mailing list to CC as it is not always obvious.
The issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel to the appropriate mailing list? |
