Changes in How to Write a Good Bug Report

Revision Differences of Revision 5

##0. The easiest way to report a bug is to open up a bug report at [Launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands). ¶


On the right hand side are two possibilities: ¶

* Report a bug ¶
* Ask a question ¶

Therefor you will need an account on Launchpad! ¶

If you feel not okay with this, report the bug on our forum under "Technical Help" - Link: https://wl.widelands.org/forum/forum/1/ (btw. the internal Link description is wrong!) ¶

##1. We need mandatory the following details about your configuration: ¶


* Operating System (OS) and patch level/kernel: ¶

* e. g.: Windows XP SP3 ¶
* e. g.: Xubuntu 12.04.3, Linux xubuntu 3.8.0-35-generic #52~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:24:40 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ¶


* Widelands release: ¶

* e. g.: 17 ¶
* e. g.: bzr6826 ¶
* e. g.: 1:17-ppa0-bzr6827-201402020556~ubuntu12.04.1 ¶


##2. Describe the error / bug / false behavior as exact a possible: ¶
###2a. An meaningful headline would be a good idea. ¶
###2b. Describe what you have done or expected and what happened instead, please in detail, but not a second TLotR/Bible: ¶


* e. g.: wanted to attack the enemy -> no soldier attacks / game crashed while opening up statistic details ¶


##3. Attach save games and/or replays: ¶
You will find them dependent on your OS ¶


###3a. Apple Operating Systems: ¶


* 3aa. Mac OS (9): (not shure, if its working on MAC OS 9 ¶
* 3ab. Mac OS X: ¶


###3b. Microsoft Operating Systems: ¶

* 3ba. Windows XP: ¶
C:\Documents\[your_name]\.widelands ¶


* 3bb. Windows Vista: ¶

* 3bc. Winodws 7: ¶

* 3bd. Windows 8 (if you have NOT upgraded to 8.1): ¶

* 3be. Windows 8.1: ¶


###3c. GNU/Linux: ¶


* 3ca. G/K/X/Ubuntu: /home/[your_name]/.widelands ¶

* 3cb. whatever Linux you use, feel free to fill up the missing paths...! :-) ¶


##4. If you had an crash, add the file also to the bug report. The paths differ also from your OS: ¶

###4a. Apple OS: ¶

###4b. Microsoft OSes: C:\Programs\Widelands\stdout.txt ¶

###4c. GNU/Linux:


##5. Still more questions? ¶
