Mark, I went to the link and read it. I actually feel it is helpful. This week I submitted 4 bug reports for both software and the OS. The author stated his system was resetting and that he had lots of software installed. Obvious questions would be if there's any particular action that causes the system to reset or if it's random. What programs are running when the system resets, how often does it reset, etc. What was he doing when it reset? What software was installed? Of course I would also want to know what, specifically, he means by reset as some people have different definitions. Lastly (this is particular to me), I would want to know what he restored from his backups (if he had any) and from what OS did he go from. The link, IMO, provides helpful information to help flesh these out. I don't believe Igor meant anything else. The link is a good set of pointers for submitting a bug fix. My system might reset but that doesn't mean they're related. The only thing it indicates is that there are two people who have systems that are doing something (until a definition is agreed upon) that isn't good. Regards, Nick. -----Original Message----- From: maemo-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:maemo-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mark Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 09:37 To: maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: N810 Now Resets Very Frequently On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 8:12 AM, Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html > This is not helpful and in fact is inflammatory. When one has a problem with a device it is helpful to find out if others are having the same problem, and may have already solved it. If so, great. If no one else is having the same problem, then it's probably an installed app rather than the OS. Then one can start narrowing down suspects as to the cause. People have to start somewhere, and why should they duplicate efforts that others have already made, or go to great lengths to fix something that is impossible because it's a bug in the OS? RTFM is *never* an acceptable response.
