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?

nv driver and gnome broken
by David Mack 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

In the latest rawhide update, the nv driver (xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.6-6.fc9) kills the X server. The nouveau driver works. Once X is running, it fails to start a window manager, repeatedly spewing this into the log file: AUDIT: Wed Jan 23 09:01:06 2008: 2932 X: client 1 rejected from local host ( uid =0 gid=0 pid=2931 ) Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Doesn't matter whether running xdm or gdm.

SELinux is preventing console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) (consolekit_t) "execute" to <Unknown> (polkit_auth_exec_t).
by Antonio Olivares 05 Feb '08

Unknown, what is happening with console-kit-daemon? Summary: SELinux is preventing console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) (consolekit_t) "execute" to <Unknown> (polkit_auth_exec_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon). It is not expected that this access is required by console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v <Unknown> If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.
