KDE™ uses Bugzilla™, a “Defect Tracking System”. Bugzilla™ is one of the most popular tools used in the open source development community.
Register first
To report a bug, one must register for an account on KDE™'s Bugzilla™ at https://bugs.kde.org/createaccount.cgi. A valid email address is required for registration.
Only for KDE™ bugs
Bugzilla™ is only for KDE™ bugs. If the application is not part of KDE™ — Firefox, LibreOffice, or VLC, for instance — then the report should be filed in Launchpad™ instead. Please see the next section, which covers filing reports concerning Launchpad™.
Launchpad™ is an open source suite of tools that help people and teams to work together on software projects. Launchpad™ is used by the Ubuntu™ and Kubuntu™ projects, as well as various other open source projects.

To report a bug, one must register for a Launchpad™ account at https://launchpad.net/+login. A valid email address is required for registration.
For any bug in Kubuntu™
Launchpad™ can be used to file a bug report for any application available in the Ubuntu™ or Kubuntu™ repositories. For KDE™ applications, the KDE™ Bugtracking System (above) is preferred.
