Is there a way to check if relevant bugs filed on launchpad are seen by Mate folks?

I filed a bug on launchpad that ended up being a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1591148 which affects Mate for Pi but it isn’t referenced anywhere. Being a barely technical user I’m not positive how launchpad works and if things like this have a way to trickle down to anyone affected.

I haven’t been able to get a snap to install yet and this seems like a fairly significant problem that everyone would have so I’m fairly certain I don’t have to worry too much about it personally, however the question is more general about how bugs are posted, followed, or shared.

Launchpad is the hub between users and the developers – it is a technical place for getting into the nitty gritty details so that developers can work on reproducing and fixing bugs.

Not all bugs are specifically a fault of Ubuntu MATE or the MATE Desktop, but if they were (or the maintainer wanted to track them), the project ubuntu-mate would be added.

However, in this case, this is an issue across multiple flavours/distributions/architecture as it is a kernel problem then something specific to Ubuntu MATE. It’s also been previously reported, hence why it’s been marked as a duplicate to avoid wasted efforts.

You’ve done your part, so thank you! :slight_smile:
