Ubuntu

"Report a bug" link only goes to Help page

Asked by OzzyFrank

The "Report a bug" link at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs only goes to the documentation page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) even though hovering the cursor over the link shows the target location to be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug. I can't see any other way to report a bug. I am logged into Launchpad, in case that makes a difference (though usually when trying to file a bug report when not logged in, I would be prompted to sign in).

The procedure for reporting bugs is explained in

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

in subsection "Reporting non-crash hardware and desktop application bugs"

I am copying the contents of that subsection here:

Reporting non-crash hardware and desktop application bugs
The method for reporting bugs in Ubuntu is by using the tool “ubuntu-bug”, otherwise known as Apport. When reporting a bug, you must tell Apport which program or package is at fault.

Collecting information from a specific package

Press Alt+F2 to open the “Run Command” screen:

Filing a bug with the “Run Command” screen

Then, type ubuntu-bug <package name> and press Enter. If you’re not sure which package has the problem, refer to the instructions for finding the right package.

Can you help with this problem?
