Number of bugs in Ubuntu 13.04

[Gabor Toth]

Hi Jason,

Any suggestion under what package do I file the bug?  I have actually no
idea what, especially on point 1, I do not know what froze the system
up.  Same on 2 and 3.  On 4 I guess that is the Alsa package, or
something else?  Can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks.
