[22:59] <cknavigator> Hello. I don't know if this is the right channel but I could use some help. After some trial and error, I think I found the cause of a bug with Ubuntu (reproducible in both 16.04 and 16.10). What should I do? I don't have experience reporting bugs. Please redirect me to the right channel if that's offtopic here.
[23:01] <valorie> cknavigator: can you say more about the bug?
[23:01] <valorie> here is fine
[23:01] <cknavigator> Yes. Basically I was trying to boot Ubuntu Live USB on a laptop (AMD CPU and GPU) and it would never go past the Ubuntu logo screen into the live session.
[23:02] <cknavigator> It would work on other machines but not this one
[23:02] <cknavigator> I tried everything - nomodeset, changing pendrives, images, etc
[23:02] <valorie> hmmm
[23:02] <cknavigator> Then I came to the conclusion the problem was due to an existing btrfs partition
[23:02] <cknavigator> from a openSUSE Installation
[23:03] <cknavigator> I now delete this partition and Ubuntu boots
[23:03] <cknavigator> both 16.04 and 16.10
[23:03] <valorie> wow
[23:03] <valorie> that's a tough one to assign
[23:04] <valorie> I guess I would guess lightdm
[23:04] <valorie> the easiest way to file a bug is via the commandline: `ubuntu-bug lightdm`
[23:05] <valorie> that way apport will auto-collect relevant info and upload it for you to launchpad
[23:05] <valorie> if it is filed against the wrong package, the devels will move it
[23:07] <cknavigator> When I boot Ubuntu with the nomodeset parameter, I could see on the black screen some text related with btrfs, this is how I eventually related the issue with the presence of the btrfs partition. I took a partition of that text, perhaps it contains useful info?
[23:07] <cknavigator> * a picture of that text
[23:07] <cknavigator> lol
[23:08] <valorie> yes, you can attach at some point in the bug filing process
[23:08] <valorie> it's a bit cumbersome, but so necessary
[23:10] <cknavigator> However, do I need to recreate the btrfs partition to report the bug? or can I just run 'ubuntu-bug lightdm' from this live session?
[23:11] <cknavigator> Here's the picture if anyone is interested http://imgur.com/a/X8Ijh
