Hi guys, You gentlemen both reported bugs against xserver-xfree86 recently, but neglected to include your XFree86.0.log files as requested by XF86Config(7). I was about to flame you for setting a bad precedent, but the thought occurred that this may not have been a deliberate act of provocation on you guys' part. :) I notice that you're both using reportbug 2.2. I didn't get/haven't yet gotten any bug reports filed by reportbug 2.1, but I notice that reports filed with 2.0 *did* include people's log files. I do not think this is a coincidence, and the fact that these two bugs from different people had exactly same the context excised in exactly the same way leads me to believe that this is reportbug's fault. So I have a couple of requests: 1) Can you guys send your bug numbers your /var/log/XFree86.0.log files if you haven't already? 2) Can the reportbug maintainer look into this? I don't yet have enough data for a bug report. I don't know what would cause parts of xserver-xfree86's "bug" script to work, and other parts to fail. Here's what it looks like: #!/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:$PATH if command -v lspci > /dev/null 2>&1; then LC_ALL=C lspci | grep 'VGA compatible controller:' >&3 LC_ALL=C lspci -n | grep 'Class 0300:' >&3 printf "\n" >&3 fi if [ -e /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ]; then cat /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >&3 printf "\n" >&3 fi if [ -e /var/log/XFree86.0.log ]; then cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log >&3 printf "\n" >&3 fi ls -d -l /var/log/XFree86.*.log >&3 2> /dev/null -- G.
