Bug Description

Platform: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu
Script: nvidia-bug-report.sh
Version: 11669588
Driver: 295.49 x86_64

The Nvidia script used for Linux bug reporting is not setup properly for Ubuntu...

1) No option to specify if Ubuntu or not on line 196-207...

append_silent "/etc/redhat-release"
append_silent "/etc/redhat_version"
append_silent "/etc/fedora-release"
append_silent "/etc/slackware-release"
append_silent "/etc/slackware-version"
append_silent "/etc/debian_release"
append_silent "/etc/debian_version"
append_silent "/etc/mandrake-release"
append_silent "/etc/yellowdog-release"
append_silent "/etc/sun-release"
append_silent "/etc/release"
append_silent "/etc/gentoo-release"

2) Get any Kernel Messages greps wrong script line 377-396

# get any relevant kernel messages
    echo "____________________________________________"
    echo ""
    echo "Scanning kernel log files for NVRM messages:"
    echo ""
    for i in /var/log/messages /var/log/kernel.log ; do
        if [ -f $i -a -r $i ]; then
            echo " $i:"
            ( cat $i | grep NVRM ) 2> /dev/null
        else
            echo "$i is not readable"
        fi
    done
) | $GZIP_CMD >> $LOG_FILENAME
(

Output from this is:

Scanning kernel log files for NVRM messages:
/var/log/messages is not readable
/var/log/kernel.log is not readable

As far as I know in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu these are located in:

/var/log/messages --> /var/log/dmesg
/var/log/kernel.log --> /var/log/kern.log
