How to get started with bug fixing?

Asked by Akshendra Pratap Singh

Hey everyone, I am pretty new to Launchpad and I want to know how to get started with the process of fixing bugs. I have a project cloned. I don't know who to contact and how to commit/submit my changes. Please help? Thanks in advance.

Google for "ubuntu how to get started with bug fixing" and the top hit is http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html which describes the process.

Try some of the other hits for that query, the first 5 or more are all relevant and useful reading.

You're welcome, hope it turns out well for you, Akshendra. This was my first time trying to help on answers.launchpad -- if it doesn't work out for you do try asking again and mention what aspects weren't covered adequately in those links so you get help from someone more knowledgeable. Good luck!
