1. Livna Bugzilla
The Livna Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.livna.org) is the place where users can report bugs to the respective Livna package maintainers.
1.1. Before you report a bug
If you think you have found a bug in a package provided by Livna, please ask yourself the following questions prior to submitting a bug report:
- Is my bug or problem already known?
Before submitting a bug, please search on the project's official bug manager (such as sourceforge, an official bugzilla, Trac, etc) as well as Livna's bugzilla to see if the problem you are experiencing is a known issue.
- Is it a packaging bug?
If possible, try to determine if the problem is due to packaging or if the problem is in the software itself, in which case it should be reported upstream. In many cases, the problem can be solved upstream more quickly than through Livna and the fix will be provided for all users, not just the users of Livna.
If you are unsure, submit it to the Livna Bugzilla anyways and the package maintainer can refer you to external sites if required.
2. Providing relevant information
Along with your description of the problem, try to include the following in your bug reports:
- How reproducible is the problem?
- What are the steps you took to make the bug or problem appear?
- What version of the software are you using?
- And other information you think could be useful or required to debug the problem
2.1. Graphic Drivers
When submitting bugs about the graphic drivers packaged at Livna (nvidia, nvidia-96xx, nvidia-legacy, fglrx), please include this information as well as the information listed in the previous section:
- The kernel and kmod version. You can find out information about the kernel by running:
rpm -q kernel;uname -r
and for the kmod version:
rpm -q kmod-driver
where driver is one of nvidia, nvidia-96xx, nvidia-legacy, or fglrx
- The output of:
ldd `which glxgears`
- Attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Attach the output of the dmesg command. You can create a text file with the contents of the dmesg command by running:
dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt
Now simply attach "dmesg.txt" file found in your home.
