The drakbug Bug Reporting Tool

Abstract

If you find unexpected behavior in Mandrake Linux-specific tools, drakbug allows you to report that to the development team.

Note

To be able to report bugs using drakbug, you will need to have a working Internet connection.

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