3. The Drakbug Reporting Tool

If you encounter unexpected behavior in Mandrakelinux-specific tools, Drakbug allows you to report it to the development team.

[Note]Note

To be able to report bugs using Drakbug, you need a working Internet connection as well as a Drakbug account.

To run Drakbug, go to the Help->Report Bug menu entry of the faulty tool, or run it from Mandrakelinux Control Center's own menu. Drakbug can also be triggered automatically by a crashed Mandrakelinux tool.

Reporting a Bug

In order to correctly report a bug, it is important to identify the package it is related to. To make this task easier, enter the application name in the Application Name (or Full Path) field and click on the Find Package button.

Click on the Report button. Your web browser will then open. If you are not logged in to the Mandrakesoft Bugzilla web site you will be asked to log in (or create an account if you do not have one). Once you are logged on the site, complete the bug report as completely and accurately as possible and click on Commit.
