Clear message

Here we have a sampling of bugs to work on for Hug Day. After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your name in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding lightgreen in the first cell of the column after "background-color:" and before ";". This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged.

You might find it more convenient to edit the wiki page using editmoin a command line utility for editing moinmoin wiki pages. It is available as a package in Gutsy and Hardy. More information including an easier way to do this was [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2007-November/000666.html mailed] to the Bug Squad.

Our focus today is on bug reports regarding hal, the hardware abstraction layer, which deals with ways of connecting devices to your computer. You can find [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal debugging procedures] for hal part of the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures debugging series].

167 New bug reports about hal
