I'm currently running buster on my XPS 9560.
I upgraded today and I have issues I've never had before.
Where can I submit what I'm seeing?
Thanks!

Re: Testing/buster submissions?
You are using Debian testing, and don't even know where or how to submit a bug report ?
A good place to start: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting

It is a good idea to read the documentation about any OS, before deciding to install it.From:https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debi ... ng.en.html
===================
3.1 Which Debian distribution (stable/testing/unstable) is better for me?
The answer is a bit complicated. It really depends on what you intend to do. One solution would be to ask a friend who runs Debian. But that does not mean that you cannot make an independent decision. In fact, you should be able to decide once you complete reading this chapter.
If security or stability are at all important for you: install stable. period. This is the most preferred way.
If you are a new user installing to a desktop machine, start with stable. Some of the software is quite old, but it's the least buggy environment to work in. You can easily switch to the more modern unstable (or testing) once you are a little more confident.
If you are a desktop user with a lot of experience in the operating system and do not mind facing the odd bug now and then, or even full system breakage, use unstable. It has all the latest and greatest software, and bugs are usually fixed swiftly.
If you are running a server, especially one that has strong stability requirements or is exposed to the Internet, install stable. This is by far the strongest and safest choice.
The following questions (hopefully) provide more detail on these choices. After reading this whole FAQ, if you still could not make a decision, stick with the stable distribution.

Re: Testing/buster submissions?
Thanks you.
FYI...I just wanted to know the proper procedure for discussing issues with testing.
If this forum is the 1st place to discuss, it seems not granular enough. All paths are mixed together...but maybe it's just me.
I do not want to jump straight to bug reports as I am using buster, not to test, but to run on newer hardware that stable had issues with.
So yeah...I could search for Debian bug submission...but that was not what I was really asking for.
Sorry if I was unclear.

Re: Testing/buster submissions?
If you had looked at the first link I posted :
If you are having a problem or issue with Debian testing , you can post it on this forum, just be sure to include some real details, and also mention that it is
Debian testing, or what ever version of Debian it is.
I would like to suggest reading these, before posting any more:
Forum guidelines. Please read before first post!
As long as you follow those guidelines, you are welcome to start any topic, including any problem you are having with Debian , testing, stable, SID, etc...
Please Read.. What we expect you have already Done.
There are a lot of threads and topics all ready started on all kinds of issues users have had, and are having with Debian testing,...
Or Desktop & Multimedia, or maybe Hardware,.... I have no idea, because you have not said anything to indicate what theses "issues" are.
You would see:A good place to start: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
There is a mailing list, related specifically to debian testing, also the IRC channels.How to use Debian (next-stable) Testing
First thing is to assess the current state of testing. Have a look at the recent topics in the debian-testing mailing list archive and the Status/Testing Wiki-Page. Besides using these specific resources you can also use the general debian-user and debian-devel mailing lists, IRC channels #debian or #debian-next, and of course the debian bug tracker. You may also have a look at the DebianDesktopHowTo.
Sorry to hear you don't like this forum, I don't know of any other forums.If this forum is the 1st place to discuss, it seems not granular enough. All paths are mixed together...but maybe it's just me.

Since you have not even given a clue as to what the issues are, How on earth can some one suggest where to submit the problem, or where to post the topic, maybe :I upgraded today and I have issues I've never had before.

Unless you are sure it is more specific, IE:System ConfigurationGeneral Questions
If none of the more specific forums is the right place to ask
Or Desktop & Multimedia, or maybe Hardware,.... I have no idea, because you have not said anything to indicate what theses "issues" are.

Re: Testing/buster submissions?
The answer to your questions is pretty self-evident: you can discuss what you want here, but what you should expect to get from it is questionable. First, this site is not any how officially related to Debian and no Debian developers that I know of visit here (anyone correct me if I am wrong). Second, the chances are somewhat "slim" that some one else is using that same testing snapshot with those same settings (i.e you are the only one who knows the answers to any questions you might have). Third, what is the point in using a yet-to-be collection of packages if you are not even going to "test" them? How does that help? If you need some packages that are not in Debian, then either don't use Debian, or use Debian (i.e the stable release) and add what you need to it. This last, of course, requires that you have any idea or motivation to understand what that even is to begin with.
