Henne, just to clarify - surely this list is also for reporting/ discussing problems with current Factory? That's a bit of a complicated question, I'd say. Do we expect people having issues with factory to file a bug in bugzilla or send a mail here? Personally I often write a bugreport, but before I do that, I try to gauge if the problem is something minor that someone will be able to sort out over email.
Will we get overrun with mails here if we ask for the latter? Do we pick up on the former? Do we only want developer chat here, as in - developer to developer?
On the other hand, usually it's going quite OK That is my impression too, that's why I was surprised to see Hennes comment.
With the wealth and range of experience here, I initially float my questions here in case others have encountered the same problems. At least I got some response from this list, none so far from the openSUSE amd64 list. At times there has been a complete lack of responses from this list which I take as a sign that the problem lies elsewhere and often it has been, I'd say in 99.x% of cases. If it's not a common problem in openSUSE I post to alsa-developers, linux-kernel, VirtualBox, NVidia or wherever appropriate upstream. There was one problem I reported to linux-kernel a few years ago and was promptly referred back to openSUSE with "What makes you think it's a kernel problem? consult your distro". I'd done sufficient analysis to know it was a kernel problem and as it turned out there was a logical operator error in one C file that had been there in the kernel for at least 2 years and caused Linus to remark that amazingly it didn't bite until just then and only on my box. Two weeks after I posted, one other guy hit the same problem and by then I'd tested the fix from Len Brown (it was his code) and it was a good fix. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
