I was having issues after an upgrade from 15 to 16.
My repo list was a mess and I had lots of duplicates.
One of the people on the channel assisted me until it was solved,
providing me with links to steps I can take and analyzing logs I provided.

Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this
ticket:
I tried many times to get help easily in the IRC support channel but
unfortunately what I get instead doesn't always come with a positive or
helpful responce. I always try to be as clear and descriptive as possible
with my problems and am always very polite. As an example, I have this
question that I posted today but without any responce. "[06:40]
<MarkGreenwood_> Hello everyone ! So I am using F16 with GNOME 3.2 and a
dual monitor setup. I changed my primary display with xrandr and run the
command everytime I log in. That works "fine" but I have some problem with
Firefox. When I start it, it always starts in my other monitor (!=primary)
and when I want to listen to a video in fullscreen, it also plays in my
other monitor. Is there any way to define which dislay is default like in
Ubuntu ?"
My questions are usually fairly simple and for an experienced and WILLING
user should be very easy to fix/help. Though I don't get help often. In a
recent encounter about a day ago, I tried to get help with some faulty ATI
drivers on Fedora 16 and I was told to go away and such. Users involved
were EvilBob and another which I don't remember the nick. I find this kind
of happens quite often while trying to get help with simple questions.
Wierd ?
That said, I do get very good help also quite often from the community,
which is absolutely amazing. Without all the great willing people like
xaphir, I could not use Fedora at it's best !

Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this
ticket:
Given Fedora's byline of "Freedom. Friends. Features. First.", it strikes
me that the second is being quite missed on #fedora. I can only imagine
how many potential fedora users have given up and gone to distros like
ubuntu/mint, given the atmosphere of the channel. Being a biased observer
though, I invite SIG to idle in the channel and make up their own mind.
For this ticket though, I'll include my most recent experience.
{{{
22:37 -!- Irssi: Join to #fedora was synced in 2 secs
22:37 < digimer> hi all, under f16, where do I find 'gpk-repo' (or it's
replacement)? 'yum provides "*/gpk-repo"' and 'yum list | grep gpk' turn
up nill
22:38 < [R]> what was gpk-repo?
22:39 < digimer> apparently a gui for enabling/disabling repos
22:39 < digimer> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/Fedora/14/html/Software_Management_Guide/ch03s03.html
22:40 < [R]> what are you trying to do ?
22:41 < digimer> follow the rawhide docs
22:41 < digimer>
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Yum_update_from_previous_r...
22:41 < [R]> a) dont use rawhide if you dont know what you are doing
22:41 < [R]> b) dont use rawhide
22:41 < [R]> c) rawhide isn't supported here
22:41 < digimer> >_>
22:41 < digimer> I have a reason to use it
22:42 < EvilBob> Heh
22:42 < [R]> you want to break your system?
22:42 < [R]> ah...
22:43 < digimer> [R]: I appreciate your help, but I know what I am doing.
I have a good reason for using it, and I was just looking for help finding
a program. :)
22:43 < [R]> as i stated...
22:43 < [R]> [08:46:52] [R] c) rawhide isn't supported here
22:43 < digimer> that's fine, I'm not asking a rawhide-specific question.
22:43 < [R]> if you know whatyou are doing... just edit the repo stuff in
/etc
22:43 < EvilBob> If you knew what you were doiing you would not be here
looking for help
22:43 < digimer> [R]: I did, but I was curious
22:44 < [R]> EvilBob++
22:44 < digimer> *sigh* - I see this channel is as friendly as ever
22:45 < EvilBob> digimer: Oh give it up
22:45 < digimer> the machines are currently bone-stock f16 at this time. I
am curious what package provides, or what package replaces, gpk-repo. If
you don't know, it's all good, I'll keep looking
22:45 < EvilBob> digimer: You are the problem, not this channel or the
others in it
22:45 < EvilBob> Freaking cop out and blame the channel as being
"unfriendly"
22:47 < EvilBob> digimer: Take your top secret reason for running rawhide
and float
22:47 < digimer> secret? I didn't say because I didn't think it mattered.
22:47 < hendrikz> lol
22:48 < EvilBob> You never know, there might be a way to do what you are
trying that is sane
22:48 < EvilBob> But no, you bring an XY problem to the table and blame
everyone else
22:48 < digimer> I've taken on the release-manager position, I need to
test releases on rawhide.
22:49 < digimer> as I said before, my question is simple; on a bone-stock
f16 machine, what provides/replaces gpk-repo. Pretty simple, I think.
22:49 < EvilBob> "release-manager position"?
22:50 < digimer> yup, surprising, I know.
22:50 < EvilBob> the one bent at the hips firmly grabbing your ankles?
22:50 < digimer> that's my secret reason.
22:50 < digimer> look, relax. I'm not here looking to argue.
22:50 < EvilBob> Yes you are
22:51 < EvilBob> You are the one that played "I see this channel is as
friendly as ever" as your opening card
22:51 < EvilBob> You get what you give
22:52 * digimer shrugs
22:52 < digimer> I'll keep looking then, thanks for the help
22:53 < EvilBob> digimer: release manager? Make sure the "suggested and
supported" upgrade methods work next time
22:53 < EvilBob> digimer: because those of us that actually support
them... are sick of them getting top billing and not working

Please note other IRC nicks that are involved in this interaction:
EvilBob is the consistently mocking/rude user.
Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on
this feedback:
I'll leave this to the discretion of SIG.
Any additional notes or logs:
Just idle in the channel. I've had negative experiences more than half the
times I visit, and I won't idle in the channel due to the general
rudeness/mocking behaviour. Given Fedora's decline in popularity though, I
figured it was time to submit a ticket.
Thanks for your feedback!

Volunteers who [repeatedly] act out of line should not be asked to donate
there time to #fedora, but encouraged to volunteer in a place where they
don't have to be the outward face of our wonderful community.
Any additional notes or logs:
I have also had positive interactions with this user, but the good is
outweighed by the bad.
