Comment 306 for bug 370173

Hi Paul, Simo, Stuchy,

That's fine, but when I saw this bug and realised that I had the same hardware, I spent an hour specifically installing Jaunty on it in the hope of helping to track down this bug - but I was unable to reproduce it. Why? Am I using the wrong methodology? Am I running a different kernel or software? Is my Aspire magically special? Was it my Ubuntu T-shirt that made it behave?

I'm trying to help here. if we have the same hardware and the same software then in my view that rules out either hardware or software as the cause of the problem. I've seen several Launchpad bugs where people with apparently the same problem on different hardware have piled in and reported it, creating a confusing mess that no dev will ever bother to read, and therefore it will never get fixed.

Would it be productive to open a new bug report specifically for the Acer Aspire 5135 _and no other hardware_ so that we can work on a reproducible test case that doesn't depend on whose Aspire you try it on, so that the devs can investigate it properly and we can get it fixed before Koala is released?

Cheers, Chris.
