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.

Some things to focus testing on for F9Beta
by Will Woods 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Fedora 9 will have a lot of new and exciting things. Naturally, we want those things to be stable and well-polished for the final release. With that in mind, here's a list of things that deserve especially close attention. 1) PackageKit This *replaces* pup and pirut, by default, on all new installs. If you're following rawhide, *please* disable or remove pup and pirut and test this. It's very important that you file bugs about *any* problems with PackageKit. Use the "gnome-packagekit" component in bugzilla for bugs about confusing (or missing) UI pieces, and "PackageKit" for bugs about backend errors, missing capabilities, or other (non-UI) problems. 2) NetworkManager At long last, NetworkManager is installed and enabled by default for all new installs. It is *supposed* to play nice with the system configuration set up by Anaconda and the old system-config-network tool. I'd recommend that all testers install and enable NetworkManager if possible. File bugs about network configuration problems (not honoring static IP configurations, for instance) against "NetworkManager". 3) Upstart Upstart has replaced sysvinit. Everything should be working as it did in F8, but if you have problems with serial consoles, boot-time arguments, changing runlevels (using telinit or similar), or the like, make sure bugs get filed. The runlevels are now controlled by the Upstart event scripts in /etc/event.d. If you have problems changing runlevels file bugs against "event-compat-sysv". Other upstart bugs should probably be filed under "upstart". 4) evdev Xorg is now using the new "evdev" generic input driver. This driver is intended to automatically handle all input devices recognized by the kernel - keyboards, mice, joysticks, whatever. Unfortunately its handling of keyboards is still a bit messy and probably won't be ready for F9. Therefore, ajax modified it to let the old, working driver claim your keyboard. So as of F9Beta, keyboards *should* work just like they did in F8. If you have *new* problems with your keyboard layout (and you're not having lingering evdev problems from older rawhide[1]), check Xorg.0.log to see if evdev has claimed your keyboard. If so, file a bug against "xorg-x11-drv-evdev". Otherwise, use "xorg-x11-drv-keyboard". If there's any other things that people think need closer attention.. now would be a good time to mention them. Happy testing! -w [1] https://redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-March/msg00710.html

"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?

nemiver i386 not listed in repo
by Andrew Farris 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Has anyone else seen a problem with nemiver i386 package not being available? There is an update in x86_64, and the matching version is actually present on the mirror for i386, but its not being shown as available through yum. This was causing updates to fail even with skip-broken, so I had to --exclude it. Both packages are there: http://limestone.uoregon.edu/ftp/fedora/development/x86_64/os/Packages/nemi… http://limestone.uoregon.edu/ftp/fedora/development/i386/os/Packages/nemive… But only x86_64 tries to update. 10:05:03 |lordmorgul.durthangnix:0| |17 files:11M@~| |0 jobs| - yum list nemiver.x86_64 nemiver.i386 Loaded plugins: basearchonly, fastestmirror, fedorakmod, priorities, security, : versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * livna-development: mirrors.tummy.com * livna-development-debuginfo: mirrors.tummy.com * rawhide: limestone.uoregon.edu * upstart-debuginfo: notting.fedorapeople.org * upstart: notting.fedorapeople.org Reading version lock configuration Installed Packages nemiver.x86_64 0.4.0-3.fc9 installed nemiver.i386 0.4.0-3.fc9 installed Available Packages nemiver.x86_64 0.5.1-1.fc9 rawhide 10:05:22 |lordmorgul.durthangnix:0| |17 files:11M@~| |0 jobs| - yum list updates Loaded plugins: basearchonly, fastestmirror, fedorakmod, priorities, security, : versionlock Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * livna-development: mirrors.tummy.com * livna-development-debuginfo: mirrors.tummy.com * rawhide: limestone.uoregon.edu * upstart-debuginfo: notting.fedorapeople.org * upstart: notting.fedorapeople.org Skipping security plugin, no data Reading version lock configuration Updated Packages evince.x86_64 2.22.0-3.fc9 rawhide inkscape.x86_64 0.46-0.3.pre3.fc9 rawhide kpathsea.x86_64 2007-28.fc9 rawhide nemiver.x86_64 0.5.1-1.fc9 rawhide poppler.x86_64 0.7.3-1.fc9 rawhide poppler-glib.x86_64 0.7.3-1.fc9 rawhide poppler-qt.x86_64 0.7.3-1.fc9 rawhide poppler-qt4.x86_64 0.7.3-1.fc9 rawhide texlive.x86_64 2007-28.fc9 rawhide texlive-dvips.x86_64 2007-28.fc9 rawhide texlive-latex.x86_64 2007-28.fc9 rawhide texlive-utils.x86_64 2007-28.fc9 rawhide 10:07:39 |lordmorgul.durthangnix:0| |17 files:11M@~| |0 jobs| - rpm -q nemiver.x86_64 nemiver.i386 nemiver-0.4.0-3.fc9.x86_64 nemiver-0.4.0-3.fc9.i386 -- Andrew Farris <lordmorgul(a)gmail.com> www.lordmorgul.net gpg 0xC99B1DF3 fingerprint CDEC 6FAD BA27 40DF 707E A2E0 F0F6 E622 C99B 1DF3 No one now has, and no one will ever again get, the big picture. - Daniel Geer ---- ----

Fedora 9 beta no fonts on intel x3100 laptop
by Klaasjan Brand 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hi, I've downloaded the Fedora 9 beta and created a bootable usb stick to test it out on some systems. It works fine on my desktop with radeon graphics so I assume the usb stick is ok. However, on a laptop with Intel x3100 graphics, X doesn't display fonts and icons (it draws rough outlines of where the windows are supposed to be and I can log in by clicking the right places). This is the same in rhgb, gdm and on the desktop. Fedora 8 works fine on this laptop. Is anyone able to confirm if this is an issue with all x3100 systems? Klaasjan
