Verily I say unto thee, that François Patte spake thusly: [snip rant]
- The kernel is in a constant state of flux. Some versions work well on
most hardware, and some don't. If an updated kernel does not work on your hardware, then simply reboot back into the previous one, and be happy. There is no law that forces you to use new kernels, unless your current one is lacking in some way. If the kernel you use now works, then keep it. End of story.
In that case I don't understand too much many warnings about too old versions of softwares.... You can read these warnings on this list and on some others.
I believe, but I seem to be wrong, that a new version is done to correct and enhance previous ones, not to make what was working no more working.
- As much as I'm sure there are some very helpful people in the group,
you're unlikely to get much help with a rant, especially one severely lacking in detail. Keep it calm and clear and you may get an answer.
I put in my message all what I was aware of: even turning the log_error to "debug" in dev.conf file, for instance, did not give other information about my usb scanner.
- This is not a bug reporting service. See bugzilla.redhat.com.
Before reporting a bug, I want to know if it is really a bug, not something misconfigured. I sent on the list the error codes returned: what are these codes if you can't find their meaning somewhere (and not in the 300Mb man pages you refer to).
- "Threatening" to switch distros unless your demands are met, will
likely just result in a good hearty laugh all round, followed by the traditional "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out". Even the infamous Eric S. Raymond didn't impress with that stunt, so I doubt anyone else can.
OK! I apologize... I don't want to be kicked out in my ass! Though it is difficult to accept that things that were working are no more working after an update. I use redhat/fedora since redhat 5 and it used to go better and better.... I am not sure that it is still the policy when I read here some messages about fc6 and now f7....
Bonne chance.
Merci.
