"Subject: Bug report - dmidecode failed Dear developer :) I have dmidecode installed, but it dosen't work? Ten minutes before it was fine. Now: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmidecode bash: dmidecode: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Ten minutes before: 64studio:/home/spinymouse# dmidecode # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present. [snip]" With some hardware problems even the coders won't know what was going wrong, because it won't be so obvious like my faked bug report. Do you know that ntpdate is obsolete? For Suse they say sntp -P no -r will do the same as ntpdate does, but that isn't true, I figured out that I need to run sntp -v -P no -r and sometimes date too, to get what ntpdate gives me. Also a stupid example, with hardware such changes can be harder to figure out. A user forum is the better place for stuff like this. There also is the bug tracker issue. People search for the bug they have got and couldn't find it, but there were still ten people reporting the same bug. In a user forum it can be allocated as an addition to an existing bug report, resp. sometimes a vote, that you has got the same bug is better, than to report the same thing too. Hermann from this list told me how to add a stack trace to a bug report, someone from the jack "developer" list told me how I can force a core file, if an application hangs. Step by step I get informations from others, how to write better bug reports, something that I won't learn by reporting to Bugzilla and Co.
