[lubuntu-devel] Known Problems & Known Issues (Lubuntu)

[Walter Lapchynski]

(Brendan, I've got some work for you. Read on…)

Everyone else,

Someone needs to confirm this fix. As I read the bug, a Wily install should
show the problem. So the first step to reproduction would be confirming
that. If you can do that, then I'd try the first alpha of Xenial as it's
the closest to the date of apparent reported fix. If it can be reproduced
there, then double check final.

Unfortunately, hardinfo hasn't changed versions in a long, long time. If
the fix exists, it exists in some other package. That being said, it may be
the case that the reported fix was mistaken. I advise triagers to be
disinclined to call a bug fixed unless they can at least see something in
some changelog that might suggest the fix. That is unless you can have the
original reporter confirm. If you're not sure, use incomplete status.

It's also possible that the steps to reproduce are not clear. One thing may
be some necessary element (extra packages or special hardware). I do notice
the original reporter has two NICs, both with unique enumeration. Perhaps
this is part of the problem?

One thing that's good for reporters to do is to test bugs in a virtual
machine, as it will eliminate the possibility of some hardware specific
issue and give others a common ground to reproduce against. To that end,
I've included the original reporter to see if they can't add some clarity
here.
