Hello Mike,

you should be helped with

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

For short on variant:

You can use from terminal(or for a simple command line use ALT +F2):

ubuntu-bug -w

with this your mouse get the ability to click on the running application 
you have trouble with. This gathers  the needed informtions/logs and 
bring you to the website were you can open up a ticket for. All this 
automatically. Thing of a good summary(which gives a ideo of what is 
wrong), give a good algorithmic description for reproducing(which can 
also guide a beginner to the point where the problem occures) and stay 
tuned for questions that we have to you to work out the bug in deep.

BTW: This mailing list is used for people who help to resolv bugs, not 
for reporting.

But anyway, you are welcome.

greetings
