## Reporting Bugs
There are a few ways of reporting bugs or feature requests:
There are three ways to submit bugs or feature requests:
1. Your distribution's bug reporter. If you are using a distribution your first
port of call is their bug tracker. This is because each distribution has their
own patches and way of dealing with bugs. Also bug reporting often does not need
any subscription to websites.
1. Your Linux distribution's bug reporter. If you are using Linux distribution
packages your first port of call is their bug tracker. This is because each
distribution has their own patches and way of dealing with bugs. Also bug
reporting often does not need any subscription to websites.
2. GitLab Issues - To the left of this page is the issue tracker. You can report
bugs here.
3. Email list - We have an email list (see below) where you can report bugs.
The problem with this method is bug reports often get lost and cannot be
tracked. This is especially a big problem when its something that will take
time to resolve.
