Ask Fedora: New Help Portal for Fedora Users

Regarding the launch of Fedora 16 Verne, the developers of this distribution have announced the release of a side project. It is Ask Fedora, portal in which the users podran ask, answer and comment all kinds of doubts that arise about the distribution.


Under the denomination Ask Fedora, Fedora project experts have launched an advanced service that offers technical support forums to users who use this popular Linux distro.

Rahul Sundaram, one of the main contributors to the Fedora project, explained that the goal of the new service is "to make it the best place to get technical support information about the operating system."

The page works with the Askbot tool, which offers a question and answer forum developed in the Python and Django programming languages.

Before the arrival of Ask Fedora, users who wanted to access technical help had to do so through the official Fedora IRC channel, the mailing lists or the official FedoraForum forum.

In order to participate in Ask Fedora, users can register with their Fedora ID or through OpenID, a service that allows the use of data used in Google, WordPress or Yahoo! to authenticate on other websites.

    Hello, a few years ago I installed fedora 17 in a hp mini 110 notebook, it used to charge the battery, but in subsequent updates until I reached fedora 23, currently it does not charge or detect the notebook battery, and now it also always tells me I have the analog mouse stack at 0%.

    where you could download installers or repositories (.rpm) for feodra 21, I need to install programs on this operating system but without internet

    I use fedora 24 and it seems to fool some program. I suspect something has gone wrong. Is there the option from boot disk to update the system or through terminal?
