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

Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore. Has anybody seen this behavior? Regards Chris

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.

Repeated Kernel Oopses (WiFi)
by Christopher A Williams 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

This has been rather annoying on my laptop, but I am getting constant kernel oopses with my WiFi and broadband adapters. This is on a ThinkPad T400. It usually happens when I connect or disconnect USB devices, which includes my broadband adapter. A trace from an example happening with my WiFi adapter is below. Anyone else having these issues, or is it just me and something I may or may not have done?

finger print reading broken?
by Michael Cronenworth 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Under Fedora 10, finger print reading worked with my supported aes1610 finger print device. GDM let me login with my finger. Under Fedora 11 it no longer detects my reader at all. I fired up a Live CD and it does not detect the reader either. I don't see any bugzilla component for the fprint stuff. Where do we file bugs?

koji kernel: "barrier-based sync failed"
by Robert P. J. Day 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

after installing the current koji kernel for my x86_64 system (for the purpose of testing video), very early in the boot process, i got the following diagnostic flashing on the screen, followed by a total system hang: JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-0:8 - disabling barriers i powered down, powered back up, and got further into the boot process up to the network initialization, then rapid flashing of ADDRCONF messages on the screen, then another hang. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
