I agree, this is exactly the case (I'm the OP, and the person who filed the BZ referenced earlier). There should be clear guidance how a motivated user can follow through, do the relevant triaging, and maybe even test an upstream kernel, In fact if you read the BZ, you'll see that I tried vanilla RC kernels from Thorsten's repo and reported back to the BZ. What baffles me most, is the nature of the bug. It is the text book case of a high priority bug, new (budget) hardware, which is becoming common place very fast, where Fedora isn't bootable, add to that it is a regression bug. How does a bug with these characteristics not come within the peripheral vision of the maintainers, specially when the reporter is eager to do all kinds of troubleshooting and testing!? Clearly something is wrong with the automation, the question is. how should that be fixed? -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
