Package: reportbug Version: 3.42 Severity: important Trying to do an installation-report for a laptop I started reportbug and missconfigured it, giving it a wrong smtp server (the server exists, but is not related to my account). After filling all the information I went to the end and reportbug went in an endless loop "password for [EMAIL PROTECTED] trying to connect to ..." There's more to it: the nano editor said it saved the file in /tmp, but I when went after it the file was gone. Please don't delete the temporary file at all, leave it to the next reboot, or at least until the message is sure to be sent. Reconfiguring reportbug running another parallel instance did not help, of course. Choosing severity as important, because I dropped a lot of bug reports because of the quirks of this reportbug program. This time it was about 30 min lost for borowing the laptop etc. Also, if anyone is curious, here are some partial contents I edited externally before starting reportbug:
Title: Installation falls asleep on Dell Vostro 1000, using the keyboard wakes it up Report: The installer starts, shows the installation options, I choose normal install (the others have the problem too) and then it says it loads the kernel. Loading writes a few lines and then stops. Pressing a button makes a few other lines to be written and so on. The entire installation has this problem. I was able to finish it by placing a heavier glass on some keyboard buttons. After the first reboot the computer is fine, no more sleeps. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="text" ** /home/alecs1/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "3.18" mode novice ui text email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" smtphost "***" -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.7.14+b1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.7 register and build utility for Pyt reportbug recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Alex Dănilă -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
