12.1 What other documentation exists on and for a Debian system?

- - - - - - - - - -

-Note that you may access a lot of documentation on your system by using a WWW -browser, through `dwww', `dhelp' or `doccentral' commands, found in respective -packages, or by using `yelp'. -

- -
- -

12.2 Are there any on-line resources for discussing Debian?

- -

-Yes. In fact, the main method of support Debian provides to our users is by -the way of e-mail. We'll give some details on that, and mention some other -useful resources. Even more resources are listed at the Debian Support webpage. -

- -
- -

12.2.1 Mailing lists

- -

-There are a lot of Debian-related mailing -lists. -

- -

-On a system with the doc-debian package installed there is a -complete list of mailing lists in -/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt. -

- -

-Debian mailing lists are named following the pattern -debian-list-subject. Examples are debian-announce, debian-user, -debian-news. To subscribe to any list debian-list-subject, send -mail to debian-list-subject-request@lists.debian.org with the word -"subscribe" in the Subject: header. Be sure to remember to add --request to the e-mail address when using this method to subscribe or -unsubscribe. Otherwise your e-mail will go to the list itself, which could be -embarrassing or annoying, depending on your point of view. -

- -

-You can subscribe to mailing lists using the WWW form. You -can also un-subscribe using a WWW form. -

- -

-The list manager's e-mail address is listmaster@lists.debian.org, -in case you have any trouble. -

- -

-The mailing lists are public forums. All e-mails sent to the lists are also -copied to the public archive, for anybody (even non-subscribers) to browse or -search. Please make sure you never send any confidential or unlicensed -material to the lists. This includes things like e-mail addresses. Of -particular note is the fact that spammers have been known to abuse e-mail -addresses posted to our mailing lists. See the Mailing -Lists Privacy policy for more information. -

- -

-Archives of the Debian mailing lists are available via WWW at http://lists.debian.org/. -

- -
- -

12.2.1.1 What is the code of conduct for the mailing lists?

- -

-When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules: -

- - - - - - -
- -

12.2.2 Web forums

-debianHELP and Debian User Forums are web forums -on which you can submit questions about Debian and have them answered by other -users. (These are not officially part of the Debian project.) -

- -
- -

12.2.3 Wiki

- -

-Solutions to common problems, howto's, guides, tips and other documentation can -be found at the constantly changing Debian Wiki. -

- -
- -

12.2.4 Maintainers

- -
- -

12.2.5 Usenet newsgroups

- -

-Users should post non-Debian-specific questions to one of the Linux USENET -groups, which are named comp.os.linux.* or linux.*. There are several lists of -Linux Usenet newsgroups and other related resources on the WWW, e.g. on the -Linux Online -and LinuxJournal sites. -

- -

12.4 Are there logs of known bugs?

- -

-Reports on unsolved (and closed) issues are publicly available: Debian -promissed to do so by stating "We will not hide problems" in the -Debian Social -Contract. -

- -

-The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has a bug tracking system (BTS) which files -details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is given a number, -and is kept on file. Once it has been dealt with, it is marked as such. -

- -

-Copies of this information are available at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/. -

- -

-A mail server provides access to the bug tracking system database via e-mail. -In order to get the instructions, send an e-mail to request@bugs.debian.org -with "help" in the body. -

- -
- -

12.5 How do I report a bug in Debian?

- -

-If you have found a bug in Debian, please read the instructions for reporting a -bug in Debian. These instructions can be obtained in one of several ways: -

- - - - -

-You can use the package reportbug that will guide you through the -reporting process and mail the message to the proper address, with some extra -details about your system added automatically. It will also show you a list of -bugs already reported to the package you are reporting against in case your bug -has been reported previously, so that you can add additional information to the -existing bug report. -

- -

-Expect to get an automatic acknowledgement of your bug report. It will also be -automatically given a bug tracking number, entered into the bug log and -forwarded to the debian-bugs-dist mailing list. -
