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.

"too many timeout resolving $DOMAIN, disabling EDNS"?
by David Hagood 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Over the past couple of weeks I've been getting lots of messages like this in my logs: unexpected RCODE (SERVFAIL) resolving 'example.com/A/IN': 64.71.97.21#53 Aug 5 17:54:49 Deathwish named[1870]: too many timeouts resolving 'www.example.com/A' (in 'example.com'?): disabling EDNS (where I have replaced the actual domain with "example.com") This happens on MANY domains, not just a few, and on domains that I would think would NOT be likely to have stupid problems (like Google and Slashdot). Has something changed in BIND that could cause this?

KDE 4 live image for i686
by Sebastian Vahl 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi. I've prepared a KDE4 live image for i686 for testing purposes. Last weeks rawhide images didn't include the kde one because of a problem with intel video drivers. Kwin would automatically enable compositing support on such cards which seems to be broken atm. But we haven't a bug report for that, yet. So if someone would like to provide one, please test these images. radeon/nv users should not have these problems. http://www.fedoraforum.de/iso/test/rawhide-KDE4-i686-20071220/rawhide-KDE4-… http://www.fedoraforum.de/iso/test/rawhide-KDE4-i686-20071220/rawhide-KDE4-… These images are based on rawhide from 2007-12-20 and also include Jeremy's modifications to the kickstarts (like on the normal rawhide image). I'm not sure if installation would work. With my limited test capabilities over christmas I cannot test these properly. In my tests on one machine I've got problems with the partitioning. If this also happens to you, please bug it. Merry christmas, Sebastian

blackberry support on fedora 8
by Ben Little 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi all, I'm trying to use my blackberry as a tethered modem and am having some difficulties, I'm not quite sure how to set this up in the first place which is probably the majority of my problem I've installed "barry" but am unable to get barry-utils installed because of this; Missing Dependency: libboost_serialization.so.2 is needed by package barry-util I've looked into the provides for that file and apparently it's "boost" which is installed. boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 boost-devel-1.34.1-5.fc8 (one is i386, one is x86_64 -- that's why it's listed twice) I've read about XMBlackBerry but am unable to get that installed (more dependency issues) does anyone have good information on making a blackberry work as a tethered modem on fedora 8? Thanks!
