Bug Reports

-GRUB 2 is under very active development, so bugs are handled in the -developers' list at the moment. Since this list is -a members-only list, please subscribe to it then send e-mail to this -list. + +

+NOTE: For general information on how to report bugs, +How to +Report Bugs Effectively +is worth reading. +

+ +

+When you encounter a problem or a bug, check if the +Bug Tracking System +stores the same problem. +Also, take a look at the GNU GRUB FAQ. +This may have a useful suggestion about your problem. +

+ +

+If you didn't find information about your problem, read the chapter +Reporting bugs in the manual. +Very often, people ask us their questions with little or even no +information about their systems. That's quite useless, because we have +to guess what you did, what was displayed and what really +happened. Please notice that we may not see your computer directly. So, +whenever you report a bug, you must include enough information so that +we can understand what happened and even reproduce your problem in our +own machines. + +

+ +

+Once you have realized how to write a bug report, please submit it to the +Bug Tracking System +with information about your computer and what you did +as much as possible. Excessive information is always better than +no information. +

+ +

+If you prefer using electronic mail, you can submit a report to the mailing +list <address@hidden>. +

-NOTE: For general information on how to report bugs, -How to -Report Bugs Effectively -is worth reading. +Support for filing bug reports on GRUB Legacy has been discontinued. Please, check +if you can reproduce your problem with GRUB 2, or if the feature you want is already +present in GRUB 2. Then report it as a GRUB 2 bug +if it still applies.

-When you encounter a problem or a bug, check if the -Bug Tracking System -stores the same problem. -Also, take a look at the GNU GRUB FAQ. -This may have a useful suggestion about your problem. +Additionally, if you were providing a patch please update it to work on GRUB 2.
