Comment 33 for bug 85969

I just want know, I am new to Linux-bug reporting, I have used Ubuntu since
its conception, loved it.
I want to know, how can I help in reporting for bugs, like is there a debug
mode ?
What are the steps? What is a standardized way ? What is one to do, when
Ubuntu just crashes and nothing except reboot is the only way out, something
that resembles windows, the very reason for me to leave it is haunting me
;-)

The is serious as I have advocated Ubuntu in many small businesses, and do
not know how to face them.....

*So in short what is the official steps that would be needed to provide
complete information about the bug, even when system is totally crashed and
a reboot is performed.*

thanks
