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. ???

The f10 builds seem to work fine for me (finding the plugins), so perhaps this is rawhide-specific? To be clear, digikam's Settings -> configure digikam -> Kipi Plugins is empty? -- Rex

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.

kstartupconfig4 error
by Jim Bevier 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

I did an i386 upgrade from F11 -> F12 on two different systems using the install DVD. They both use gnome and kde desktops. After the upgrade, I try to log in using kde and I get the error: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 127. Check your installation". After some searching, I found this same error was present in F10->F11 upgrade. It seems during the upgrade, libssl.so.8 and libcrypto.so.8 links are removed and kstartupconfig4 can no longer start. In /usr/lib I did "ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.8" and "ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.8". This then allowed kstartupconfig4 to run and kde worked again. I did not see any mention of this problem on the rawhide list during beta & RC testing, so I guess nobody did this type of upgrade. Hope this helps someone. Jim

Bugzilla semantics: marking bugs as triaged
by Adam Williamson 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

I had interesting discussions with Andy Lindeberg and jlaska today about the semantics of our current Bugzilla - and particularly triage - workflow. We were thinking about the NEW / ASSIGNED dichotomy, and Andy and I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Right now, Bugzappers uses it one way, Andy uses it another for anaconda. In the Bugzappers process, ASSIGNED just means, really, Triaged: you set a bug to ASSIGNED once the triage process is complete. For Anaconda, Andy sets bugs to ASSIGNED once they're assigned to the correct anaconda maintainer (whether or not the rest of triage is yet fully completed). Neither case is really terribly problematic, but they also don't make a whole lot of sense, really. Having 'triage completed' as a status is a bit arguable; it's not quite in the flow of the statuses, as a bug could be at a point 'beyond' ASSIGNED but not yet have been triaged, for instance. And it's also just semantically wrong - the word 'assigned' does not mean 'triaged'. In the anaconda case, we just thought about it and decided the use of ASSIGNED isn't really _achieving_ anything: you can tell whether the bug's been assigned or not just by looking at who it's assigned to. We sort of came to the conclusion that it'd probably make the most sense to have a 'Triaged' keyword that's used to affirm that a bug's been triaged (in fact there already is one, but it's not officially used in our current process), and abandon the distinction between NEW and ASSIGNED. Ideally, the ASSIGNED state would just be removed, but we could keep it and just note in our workflow / policy that it's not really used to mean anything in particular. This could, I think, be implemented quite quickly if desired; I think we could rig something up to set all bugs in ASSIGNED state (except anaconda ones) to have the 'Triaged' keyword, that shouldn't be impossible. We'd be interested in thoughts - negative, positive, whatever - on the idea.

Fedora 12 QA retrospective - feedback needed
by James Laska 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Greetings folks, Whether you call it a post-mortem, retrospective or lessons learned ... the end result is the same. I'd like to collect thoughts on how good/bad of a job the QA group did in planning and testing the Fedora 12 release. In keeping with the release-wide retrospective from Fedora 11 [1], feel free to share any wishlist items as well. I've started the discussion on the wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_QA_Retrospective. Adding your thoughts is easy ... * Edit the wiki directly (instructions provided for ~anonymous feedback) * Or, reply to this mail (I'll collect feedback and add to the wiki) Over the next week, I plan to organize any feedback and discuss the highlights during an upcoming QA team meeting. The goal will be to prioritize the pain points and use as a basis for defining objectives for Fedora 13. Thanks for your feedback! James [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Retrospective_Notes
