Ubuntu, like many other Linux distributions, is a community-developed operating system. In addition to getting involved and submitting patches, there are a variety of ways you can provide useful feedback and suggest features to Ubuntu.

与许多其他Linux发行版一样，Ubuntu是社区开发的操作系统。 除了参与和提交补丁程序外，您还可以通过多种方式向Ubuntu提供有用的反馈和建议功能。

From voting on and suggesting the features you’d like to see to submitting data about your hardware support and reporting bugs – both in stable releases of Ubuntu and in development releases – Ubuntu offers several ways to submit feedback.

从投票和建议您想要看到的功能到提交有关硬件支持的数据和报告错误(无论是在Ubuntu的稳定版本中还是在开发版本中)，Ubuntu提供了几种提交反馈的方法。

投票并建议功能 (Vote On & Suggest Features)

Use the to submit feature ideas, vote on other submitted feature ideas, and discuss them. As the Ubuntu Brainstorm website says, “Ubuntu Brainstorm is read regularly by Ubuntu developers and contributors.” If you have programming ability, you can pick a feature and contact the relevant Ubuntu team to get started.

使用提交功能创意，对其他已提交的功能创意进行投票，并进行讨论。 正如Ubuntu Brainstorm网站所说，“ Ubuntu Brainstorm由Ubuntu开发人员和贡献者定期阅读。” 如果您具有编程能力，则可以选择一项功能并联系相关的Ubuntu团队开始使用。

测试您的硬件 (Test Your Hardware)

Use the System Testing tool included with Ubuntu to test whether your hardware is working properly – you can open it from the Dash.

使用Ubuntu随附的系统测试工具来测试您的硬件是否正常运行-您可以从Dash中打开它。

After testing whether your hardware is working properly, you can send a report to , Ubuntu’s hardware database. This will provide information to Ubuntu on what hardware is working properly and what hardware isn’t.

在测试硬件是否正常运行之后，您可以向Ubuntu的硬件数据库发送报告。 这将向Ubuntu提供有关哪些硬件可以正常工作以及哪些硬件不能正常工作的信息。

报告错误 (Report Bugs)

If you encounter a bug in Ubuntu, help Ubuntu’s developers fix it by reporting it. You can report the bug to . When reporting a bug, follow proper practices for bug reporting – don’t report feature requests and don’t report duplicate bugs. The on the official Ubuntu wiki offers good instructions for reporting bugs and creating good bug reports.

如果您在Ubuntu中遇到错误，请通过报告来帮助Ubuntu的开发人员对其进行修复。 您可以将错误报告到。 报告错误时，请遵循错误报告的正确做法–不要报告功能请求，也不要报告重复的错误。 官方Ubuntu Wiki上的“提供了报告错误和创建良好错误报告的良好说明。

You can report a bug using the Apport tool, which also appears automatically when a program crashes on your computer. Use the Apport tool that appears to submit crash reports that can help Ubuntu’s developers fix the problem you’re experiencing.

您可以使用Apport工具报告一个错误，该错误在计算机上的程序崩溃时也会自动出现。 使用出现的Apport工具提交崩溃报告，可以帮助Ubuntu的开发人员解决您遇到的问题。

When reporting a bug, bear in mind that it may be a good idea to report it to the “upstream” developers rather than Ubuntu itself. For example, if you encounter a bug in Firefox – particularly one that also appears in Firefox on Windows – you should probably report it to Mozilla’s bug tracker rather than Ubuntu’s.

报告错误时，请记住，将其报告给“上游”开发人员而不是Ubuntu本身可能是一个好主意。 例如，如果您在Firefox中遇到错误，尤其是在Windows上的Firefox中也出现了一个错误，则可能应将其报告给Mozilla的错误跟踪器，而不是Ubuntu的。

测试开发版本 (Test Development Releases)

The stable Ubuntu releases are ideally pretty bug-free. If you want to help find bugs before they reach the stable version of Ubuntu, you can grab the latest development release of Ubuntu from the page. Consult the linked wiki pages for more information on how to test development releases and provide feedback.

稳定的Ubuntu版本在理想情况下几乎没有错误。 如果您想在bug到达稳定版本的Ubuntu之前帮助发现它们，可以从页面上获取Ubuntu的最新开发版本。 请查阅链接的Wiki页面，以获取有关如何测试开发版本并提供反馈的更多信息。

测试活动 (Test Activities)

Development releases of Ubuntu aren’t the only thing that needs testing. If you want to get involved, check out the page on Ubuntu’s wiki. In addition to testing development releases, you can test stable release updates and become part of the first line of defense against buggy updates being pushed out to a stable version of Ubuntu – check out the page for other types of testing you can participate in.

Ubuntu开发版本并不是唯一需要测试的东西。 如果您想参与其中，请查看Ubuntu Wiki上的“页面。 除了测试开发版本之外，您还可以测试稳定的版本更新，并成为防止将错误更新推送到Ubuntu的稳定版本的第一道防线–请查看页面中可以参与的其他类型的测试。
