Peter, please do not apport-collect to another person's report, as you are not the original reporter.
Linux Mint has a different procedure and location for tracking bug reports. If you want to file a report against Mint, please do so via their bug tracker located at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+filebug . If you would like to file a bug in Ubuntu (not Mint), and so your problem and hardware may be tracked, please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via: ubuntu-bug linux For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation: Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Policies/DuplicateBugs Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it. As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug report. Thank you for your understanding.
