Re: [Fedora-infrastructure-list] Hardware Tracker

The approach I would suggest is to have an icon on the user's desktop (and a button in firstboot, or wherever) that says:

	REPORT A PROBLEM WITH MY HARDWARE

The first step in this would be to select the user's hardware from a menu showing the info.product fields (perhaps grouped by the info.category field). This wouldn't be the same as filing a bugzilla report - the main idea is a sort of a poll to let FC hackers know which hardware needs the most attention at the moment.

Users will not always know that a device is not working when they send in their initial hardware report, so we need to be able to let them send in a "I have this hardware" report separately from the "this hardware is not working for me" report.

Best,

Hey all,

I have attached an XML file that is produced by the hardware tracker,
the problem I have
encountered is asking the user if the device works. I am not sure how
to go about this?
Should I just filter out the info.product field which, would give:

<info.product>USB Hub Interface</info.product>
<info.product>USB Raw Device Access</info.product>
<info.product>UHCI Host Controller</info.product>
<info.product>82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller
#1</info.product>

This information from a new user to Linux would be hard for them to
understand if its working correctly. Any suggestions are most welcome.
