Why has my bug report on Launchpad not been addressed? [closed]

Solution 1:

Launchpad is not "monitored" by Canonical in the sense you are likely thinking.

Ubuntu is a compendium of thousands of upstream projects, including the Linux kernel. Each of those upstreams has their own bug-reporting platform. Launchpad is merely a starting point. The Launchpad bug is not the end for you; it's the beginning.

Yes, Launchpad is short of VOLUNTEERS to triage bugs. New volunteers are welcome, the Bug Squad will train.

The specific bug you reference is for an older kernel, and it clearly has not been triaged.

Advice: Start with the Bug Squad Wiki on how to triage the bug. YOU can triage your own bug and move it forward. It does not take a degree in IT. It merely takes a bit of patience and a willingness to learn.

Generally, developers look at triaged bugs first. And, honestly, that's how they should be spending their limited time in order to help the most people.
