We're not a bug tracker. If you're posting topics about or (and if you read back in meta you'll know why you shouldn't) you need to be using Apport and Launchpad.

This has been asked several times, the platform Stack Exchange really doesn't support prompting people for details. However, people can add the details to tag wikis so those who do look at the tag wikis can see what useful commands can be run to improve their post.
