[Courses] [Tools] Homework

[Steven Walker]

Sorry to be so late posting my homework. First I would like to thank you
for a really useful article. I have been a bit lax in the past about
reporting bugs not really knowing the form and how to describe them

A problem? In Firefox? Impossible :)

>   1.2 Find a bug that has been filed but not confirmed. (In the Ubuntu
>   Bugzilla, these are bugs marked NEEDINFO , you'll need to face down
>   Bugzilla's Advanced search to search by status.)

Sheesh,  that advanced search is tough. I could not make it find any
bugs at all. I gave up and found a bug using the simple search.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260524

This failure would make it impossible to check if a bug has been
reported already.

>   1.3 Find a bug that has been fixed (status RESOLVED).

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/

>   2.2 Find a bug that has been filed against a piece of software you

Ran out of time - sorry.

>   2.4 Think of a problem you have with software on your distribution.

Ubuntu 5.04.
Panel > System > Preferences > Mouse > Cursors

My mouse cursor is too small. I change it to large, log out and back in.
The large box remains ticked but the cursor is unchanged. This is a
trivial matter and is easy to solve manually but it is a bug.
