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. ???

F24 beta virt-install with kickstart fails
by Jos Vos 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hi, Did anyone succeed in virt-install'ing F24 beta using kickstart (on CentOS 6 host, if that matters)? I see lots of warnings (dracut-initqueue), then the console goes into a slowly filling bar at the bottom (plymouthd!?), then I see lots of "No space left on device" errors, then a dracut emergency shell is started. The generated rdsosreport.txt contains 34284 lines... FWIW, when *not* using kickstart I can install F24 beta on the same system with virt-install fine.

Criteria proposal: remove media part of release notes criterion
by Adam Williamson 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Per https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/471 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221920 , it seems we no longer want to require release notes to be present on all media. For simplicity's sake, I suggest we simply remove the media section of the criterion entirely. We could I suppose require that media include some kind of pointer to the release notes, but this seems difficult in the case of e.g. cloud images. Anyone have comments, alternative proposals? Thanks! For the record, the criterion is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_ 23_Final_Release_Criteria#Release_notes : "The final branded release notes must be present on release-blocking images and the appropriately versioned generic release notes must be available in the release repository." I propose amending it to: "The final branded and generic release notes must be present in the release repository." -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Introduction: Raymond Chung
by Yongsub Chung 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

First of all, Thank you for making Fedora Linux great. And, I am sure the QA team's contribution is essential to keep Fedora in high quality distribution. My name is Raymond Chung, and I have been in the industry around 15 years, but I still feel that I don't know enough. I used Linux since I was in college. I started with RedHat 5.5. I used it through Fedora 3, and switched to Gentoo, and FreeBSD, and, Ubuntu, and settled back to Fedora since Fedora 17, (I guess). My best interest is Kernel testing. Whenever I run into a kernel issue, such as driver, or performance, I couldn't solve efficiently, or basically give up. I want to know more about kernel, and recently joining QA team might be a good way to get more experience with kernel. Outside of working with computer, I play music. I love rock music, but jazz and classical are my interests, too. Feel free to reach me. I am glad to be part of QA team. -Ray

Shifting fedora QA from fedorahosted to pagure
by Kanika Murarka 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Sumantro and me were working upon the possibility of shifting QA tickets to some other platform like pagure. Thanks Justin(jflory7) for guiding . Following are the points:- 1. Shifting to Pagure will be easy and efficient. 2. Wiki -----> overview 2. In the Pagure repo, priorities can be set for tickets based on ranking, e.g. 10=urgent,20=high,30=normal, etc.(we can have custom priorities) 3. Milestones----> Pagure milestones(has been improved) 4. Roadmap *All the ticket with the tag roadmap will show up on the roadmap page. *For each milestones defined in the settings of the project, the roadmap will group tickets with the corresponding tag. *Tickets with the tag roadmap that are not associated with any of the milestones defined in the settings are group in an unplanned section. 5. All of the fields in both ticket type and ticket component are likely best implemented in tags for tickets. That would allow for the categorization and grouping of the tickets based on their keywords. 6. The blocked by and blocking feature is available in Pagure as metadata. 7. All other things can be easily implemented using tags. 8. As discussed in the last meeting, https://pagure.io/pagure-importer can be used to import tickets. I am putting this as a mail because, I wont be able to attend the meeting today. Thanks and Regards Kanika (a2batic)

Release validation events
by Adam Williamson 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Hey folks! If anyone was really paying attention, you might wonder why there hasn't been a new Rawhide release validation test event recently, when according to the rules there should have been one - it's been more than three days since the last event, and anaconda has had a new version since then. Well, there were a couple of bugs in the event creation bot. I've just fixed those up and also moved the bot into Fedora infrastructure (up till now it's been running on my personal web server). I'm hoping we'll get an event for the next successful Rawhide compose; if not, it means there's still some kind of bug in the bot, so I'll keep an eye on it. :) Thanks folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Hi, I am running the command dnf upgrade --refresh but it seems several packages are skipped because of broken dependency. They are some gnome-shell-extension qt5-* and some other stuff. How can I solve the broken dependency? Thanks. Sincerely, Bowen Wang
