How do I report these? I get about one a day, typically while in Firefox and doing something else. The machine locks up tight (flashing num and scroll locks) and requires power cycling and nothing seems to get logged. Abrt doesn't see it after restart.

Remove your firefox plugins and extensions and see if the problem goes away.

Firefox is not always involved. Thus, my question on how I find a log or some real data and report it.

When the machine locks up, the caps-lock and scroll-light both flash. What's really annoying is that if I'm playing music, it gets really weird and scares the cats.
Hello all,
I am working in a project in Doha, QATAR and our company provided us 3G connection with USB stick from QTEL(Qatar TELECOM).
When I connect my USB to my Fedora12 I go Network Manager-> Edit Connection->Mobile Broadband->Add.
F12 detects the USB stick and when I forward it I can not see either Qatar or Doha on the list.
Is there anyway around this problem?
Thanks a lot

Scroll to the top of the list where there is an option that says 'My country is not listed', select that and move ahead. You would have to enter a provider name and the connection information manually.
Also, file a bug against the mobile-broadband-provider-info package to include your service provider's info.
cheers, - steve

I have had this problem in the past with Fedora 9, I believe using ATI graphics cards. I tracked it down to glxgears (posted to this group then) getting invoked and eliminated it to get around this problem. Specifically, I did
yum erase glx-utils
This may not work for you because you may use glxgears for something but it did work for me.

Yes! And I can live without it and without emerald themes. So, I did 'yum erase glx-utils'...

Note that in the above example of a stable system, item 3. I have had about equal numbers of people tell me that the vendor driver is vastly more stable than the built-in driver, and totally the opposite.
Oh, and some fundamentalist open source fanatics who tell me it's better to crash a few times a day than use a closed source driver. ;-)

Agreed on your final point. Just for grins, I'm downloading and will try the Radeon X300 drivers directly from ATI with Compiz enabled.

'Directly from ATI' you will have to compile them manually. I think it's better use rpm [1]. Just my 2 cents...

I found that out. The ATI drivers don't like the current kernel. I'm using rpmfusion (for the codecs), but I don't see any ATI drivers there.
