After installing, enable apport: edit /etc/default/apport, set enabled=1 and restart you computer. Once activated the system should detect crashes and prompt you to report those. === Non crash bugs === The best way to log a bug is to use this command: {{{ ubuntu-bug unity }}} It will collect the required details and send you to launchpad to write your bug description. (If you build Unity from source or want to open a bug without using ubuntu-bug please follow [[Unity/FilingBugs|this guide]]) === Window matching problems === If you notice a problem with an application icon in the launcher (blurry icon, pinning not working, etc.), Unity is probably having some problems matching the window to the correct .desktop file. Please edit [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/WindowMatching|this wiki page]] with the details of any problems of this kind you find. == How to Contribute to Unity == http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/ has instructions on how to get the code and hack on it. == Support == * Please consult the [[DesktopExperienceTeam/UnityHardwareRequirements|Hardware Requirements for Unity]]. * To report bugs: see [[Unity/FilingBugs]] ---- CategoryDocumentation CategoryDocteam
