Bug Reports

This document provides step-by-step procedures for filing Kubuntu bug reports.


Types of Bug Reports

Generally, there are three types of bug reports: crash, non-crash, and feature request.

Overview of bug types

Crash

An application or system crash or failure. Most of the time a crash dialog will be presented. This can be turned into a bug report.

Non-crash

A bug or regression that doesn't cause the application to crash, but does cause the application to stop functioning properly.

Feature request

Also known as a wish list item, this type of report is filed to add a function to an application, or to change something in the application that isn't due to a regression or a crash.
