Update your machine
If you're running Fedora 16, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager.

Live image
You may download a non-destructive Fedora 16 live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

Download the nightly Fedora 16 build for your architecture (choose the desktop spin).

Get latest abrt/libreport packages
The latest versions are: libreport-2.0.5.981-0.fc16 abrt-2.0.4.981-1.fc16 - in case these are not available in the official repo, use this repo.

Use the following command to install/udpate all of them: yum -y install --enablerepo=updates-testing abrt abrt-addon-ccpp abrt-addon-kerneloops abrt-addon-python abrt-desktop abrt-gui abrt-libs abrt-cli abrt-retrace-client libreport libreport-cli libreport-gtk libreport-newt libreport-python libreport-plugin-mailx libreport-plugin-logger libreport-plugin-bugzilla libreport-plugin-kerneloops libreport-plugin-reportuploader

Make sure abrtd and abrt-ccpp services are running: Starting abrtd (via systemctl):                           [  OK  ] Starting abrt-ccpp (via systemctl):                       [  OK  ]
 * 1) service abrtd start
 * 1) service abrt-ccpp start
 * File contains following output:
 * 1) cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 * /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e

To be able to use the retrace server feature you have to edit the configuration and change its URL to. To do so, open and go to Edit->Preferences->Retrace Server and change the URL to  and write insecure to insecure option entry.

Test Results
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component abrt, or libreport for bugs in the libreport library. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
