This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1575451

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[David Daynard (nardholio)]

I can't run apport-collect because this is marked as a duplicate.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
