The list provides community assistance when / where possible. It's a
great place for what often proves to be less than fully qualified help.
Bugzilla provides interaction with the Fedora developers/packagers. It's
the perfect place for qualified help.
Livna has their own support (Bugzilla)
http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/Bugzilla
It seems that if a number of other people on this list aren't
experiencing the same problems as you, the problems are somewhat unique
to you and the list may not be capable of providing the assistance that
you need.

Clearly:
1) Kernel 2.6.26.3-29.f9.i686:
Does not work for two different motherboards/systems,
nor for: Renich Bon Ciric <renich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
so, I do not think this problem is `unique' to me. This kernel
is a show-stopper - so I have to revert to the previous kernel
version for now and hope a later update will resolve this issue.
2) The startup Gui stopped working due to latest updates (as of last week)
and if this is `unique' to me, then I will just ignore this and *maybe*
later updates will automagically repair it - as it sits now, it is
not a
show-stopper because ignoring the startup gui, in the end, the login
gui still appears.
3) The livna issue is a seperate issue - and is not a show-stopper as I have
removed them (kmod/akmod) and I know I can at least let the livna
group know about it. It is obvious to me that kmod-ndiswarpper
expects an older kernel (2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686) which is no longer
available in the repos. Many of the other kmods reported many
other dependencies as well - so it appears that livna is `out of sync',
perhaps but I will resolve this later - and focus on my main issues
(1) and (2)
Ignoring the Livna issue, (1) and (2) remains and is unique to Fedora
since these kernels comes from the Fedora repos and has nothing to
do with Livna (so I think).
Are you are telling me (and others) to use Bugzilla and not to report
individual problem issues here in this list because these are `unique'
problems? How does one know if they are unique problems before
they post it? And even if they are `unique' - what are they supposed
to do? What is the point of this mailing list with the following
statement:
"Community assistance, encouragement,and advice for using Fedora"
You come across as if to to say: "go to livna" and ignore the the other
two problems reported altogether?
This sort of reply does nothing to encourage people like myself to
remain a faithful user to Fedora and I am almost beginning to see
why, but I am not deterred - just a little bit disappointed.
I would have at least expected a little direction as how to handle
each of the problems reported, explain if there is a problem or not,
perhaps a link, perhaps what to report, with what expected information,
etc, so that at least I am not left perplexed as to what I really need to do
next.
Kind regards,
Dan
