Most of these reports was against "solftware-center" : like, "got server error 500" or "i does not understand why software-center cant download even if my network works with the browser". So launchpad get flooded by invalid reports. Users have to be aware of such a case : the different tools (installer/updater) should detect the different EOL version, and be able to display a popup message saying something like "that version is no more available, choose a newer ubuntu release"; on the other hand Apport also need to refuse such reports. Related packages : apt, synaptic, software-center (for the gnome world; but i suppose the other DEs are also concerned) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: linux-image-3.10.0-2-generic 3.10.0-2.10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-2.10-generic 3.10.0 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-2-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.10.2-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: oem 3477 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: oem 3477 F...m pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
