In case of MCE error abrt shows this: The kernel log indicates that hardware errors were detected. The data was saved by kernel for processing by the mcelog tool. However, neither /var/log/mcelog nor system log contain mcelog messages. Most likely reason is that mcelog is not installed or not configured to be started during boot. Without this tool running, the binary data saved by kernel is of limited usefulness. (You can save this data anyway by running 'cat </dev/mcelog >FILE'). The recommended course of action is to install mcelog. If another hardware error would occur, a user-readable description of it will be saved in system log or /var/log/mcelog. But on modern Fedora /var/log/mcelog doesn't exist, systemd/journalctl should be used to retrieve MCE log: [root@localhost home]# journalctl -b -u mcelog.service -- Logs begin at Sat 2017-07-29 23:59:17 CST, end at Wed 2017-09-27 11:09:18 CST. -- Sep 26 14:21:41 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Machine Check Exception Logging Daemon.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
