NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary drivers? In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it says: "2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)." So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If it's a GPL thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at least give the option to the user? Thanks, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X and run mouse-test, then restart. Any ideas? Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing happens, the mouse goes crazy. ???

I have the same symptoms... rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running. Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9 accesses that host just fine.

/etc/inittab went away && wlan has weird device name
by Julian C. Dunn 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

I just did a yum update, updating to initscripts 8.31.1-1 (among other things like a new kernel). When I rebooted, init complained that inittab was missing, so I rebooted into rescue mode and found that there was an /etc/inittab.rpmsave but no /etc/inittab. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, I'm using a Thinkpad T42 (2378RAU) and the wireless card shows up as a weird device after boot: dev8569 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:35:FC:39:23 Does anyone know why? - Julian -- Julian C.

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

Please strip out the patch that brings up applications behind gnome-terminal
by Miles Lane 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hello, I cannot understand why on earth xorg or Gnome has been changed to render new application behind gnome-terminal. Every time I run a program (surprise!) I want to use it. I don't want to keep playing around with gnome-terminal. So, can we please strip this change out of Fedora Core? Miles

Gnucash busted
by Jonathan Corbet 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I've been using the gnucash development releases in Fedora without trouble - until recently. Now, on startup, it gives me: Backtrace: In current input: 1: 0* [gnc:main] In /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/main.scm: 241: 1 (if (not (gnc:handle-command-line-args)) (gnc:shutdown 1)) 241: 2* [not ... 241: 3* [gnc:handle-command-line-args] In /usr/share/gnucash/scm/command-line.scm: 187: 4 (let ((remaining-arguments #) (result #t)) (do (# # #) (#) ...) ...) 190: 5* (do ((rest (cdr #)) (quit? #f) (item #f)) ((or quit?

Is something generally broken, or is this a bit of special behavior just for me? Thanks, jon
