Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to https://www.launchpad.net/ 2. Click "Ubuntu" 3. Click "File a bug" Expected result: A clear way to file a bug. Actual Result: This takes you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs Somewhere buried way down 2/3 of the way through a bunch of crap is the hundredth or so link on the page noting you can file a bug on Launchpad.net. It doesn't stand out well and won't be found except by a thorough examination of at least each link on the page in context, one by one: scanning over the page repeatedly over days and months of separate attempts didn't net me the correct link until more than a dozen attempts. Discussion: To put this clearly: in several months, I could not independently discover that I can file bugs against Ubuntu through https://bugs.launchpad.net/ after visiting https://www.launchpad.net/. I finally discovered this not by a fast read-through of the above page, but by a thorough STUDY of that page, which took several minutes to complete. Perhaps the Launchpad page for Ubuntu bugs should just render a giant graphic of a middle-finger? That seems to be the tone here. It is completely-obvious that Ubuntu developers do not want anyone filing detailed bug reports through Launchpad's interface. At all. Ever. Additional Information: Yes I'm completely pissed-off about this. It is maximally-frustrating and gives the impression of an Ulrich-Drepper level of self-assured importance and elitism. I would expect this kind of behavior from OpenBSD, not from a serious, user-centric distribution like Ubuntu. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654303 Title: Ubuntu actively discourages users from filing bugs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/1654303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
