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?

ntfs issues
by Valent Turkovic 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi, I have some ntfs issues. I have two ntfs partition on my laptop, and Fedora 8 mounts them automatically and I have their shortcuts on gnome desktop. In rawhide I get an error that ntfs partition have some errors on them and that they can't be mounted because of that... When I reboot back to Fedora 8 ntfs partitions are mounted and seam to work ok. I'm not sure if this there ntfs partition actually have errors and rawhide it detecting them (and fedora 8 is ignoring them) or that there are no error on ntfs partitions and that rawhide has some bugs regarding ntfs mounting... Any idea on how to troubleshoot this is welcome.

/root encryption is still broken
by Bruno Wolff III 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I tried out today's boot.iso and things got further. It appears that the install was successful using encrypted raid 1 partitions. (This used to fail.) But when I tried to boot the system, I wasn't asked for a password. During the boot process /dev/root couldn't be mounted. Things continued for a short while and then hung up after some usb devices were detected. For a problem like this, what component should be used?
