How to report a bug for Ubuntu 8.04!?

A good start is reading the guide at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
If this does not help you, report back by clarifying your question.

Hi,

I really do not know which application/x-server/package/kernel could be wrong, but my ctrl, shift, alt keys sometime stop to work when I've vmware active.
I'm a software engeneer, but I really don't want to know which package IS the task/tool bar or the key board driver/interceptor, as I think that is something Canonical should know very well, isn't it? I wonder what could do a "normal" user on the most usable linux at my place. Maybe he'll consider to go back to Window$, as even to report a bug is rather complicated. There should be a page where errors like this could be reported having the package as an optinal information, don't you think so? Anyway it's two year since i use ubuntu everyday at work, I hope I shouldn't change distribution/os.

Many thanks,

Best regards

Finding the right package is not always easy. Assuming the guide at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage
didn't help you out, you can either choose your best guess, or file the bug against Ubuntu without providing a package name. Then hope that someone who knows more than you and I will move it to the right package.

Filing a bug in Ubuntu is not always trivial. (However, I guess it would be even more difficult for a regular user to file a bug in Microsoft's/Windows closed bug tracker!) I can't speak for Canonical, but I guess they can help you out somehow, if you have paid for support.
