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. ???

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

[Fedora QA] #483: New Live USB Creator Test Day

#483: New Live USB Creator Test Day ----------------------+------------------------ Reporter: adamwill | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 24 Component: Test Day | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ----------------------+------------------------ A major F24 feature is a [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable rewrite of liveusb-creator] which may become the primary download for Workstation (so instead of an ISO file, you'd get the liveusb-creator app from the Workstation download page). However, we really haven't done much testing of it yet and don't know if it's working properly, running on all the platforms it needs to run on, and has all the features it ought to have. This would be a great topic for a Test Day. We should co-ordinate with the developers, Jiri Eischmann and Martin Briza, on this - they're both pretty familiar with QA so they should be open to working with us. I'll mail them and ask them to sign up to this ticket. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/483> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

[Fedora QA] #472: create testcase for resizing in custom partitioning

#472: create testcase for resizing in custom partitioning ------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: kparal | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 22 Component: Test cases | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ------------------------+------------------------ After discovering https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221247 it seems reasonable we should test this more properly in the future. Currently we seem to have no test case about resizing partitions in manual part dialog. We probably should, and test it against at least a standard partition and a logical volume. Optionally, we can split standard partitions into ext4 and ntfs, to cover similar use cases as in our QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_shrink . -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/472> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance
