https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/How_to_Triage says:
If you suspect a hardware-specific problem, you might request a
Smolt profile. The reporter may need to "yum install smolt" if it is
not already installed, then run "smoltSendProfile" and add the
public URL provided to the bug in a comment.
But smolt is no longer available, e.g. for Fedora 18.
What advice do we want to put here instead? I know lspci is sometimes
useful with peripherals, and hciconfig appears helpful for Bluetooth
problems. The Control Panel "Details" tab is not all that helpful,
though it does have some stuff.
lspci -nn is always something I'd want. For graphics issues, X log
usually has the needed hardware info (this is already mentioned in the
'how to debug X' stuff). For sound issues, alsa-info is always what you
want...
It would be nice to have an automated replacement for smolt; perhaps
something is kicking around Fedora land these days?
The mooted replacement is census:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/census.git
which hasn't been touched for nearly a year, apparently. :( This is
pretty unfortunate, and I'll have to see if I can apply toe-based
encouragement to some appropriate posteriors...
P.S. - I can't update this wiki page even though I have an account; it
wants me to sign the CLA, but when I do so on the administrative site,
it says I cannot be added to the group.
Sounds like something you'd want to ask for support with...I think this
would be #fedora-admin?
