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. ???

This is only practical if it's going to be tested, and tested regularly - not *only* on the final release candidate, right before we sign off on the release. It needs to be tested regularly throughout the release cycle, on the composes that are "nominated for testing".

Hello everyone, my name is Julian Schlüntz, I have been using Fedora for a long time (I think since Fedora Core 3) and it is time I started contributing. I like testing stuff and figuring out problems, so I figured QA would be the right place for me. I am from Germany, 31 years old and have some development experience. My IRC nickname is 'gapophustu'.

Self-Introduction: Ryan Himmelwright

27 Sep '18

Hi Everyone, My name is Ryan Himmelwright and often go by himmAllRight on the internet and IRC. Outside the web, I've spent the last few years in the greater Boston area, but have recently moved to Durham NC (both USA). I have been lurking around the various Fedora groups over the last few years, but have never fully taken the plunge into a project. I am interested in becoming more involved with the QA group, in particular to help develop some of the testing tools (in addition to some package testing). I am a Linux and open source enthusiast and have been using Linux as my main driver for over 8 years now. I work as a software developer that unfortunately builds web applications to run on Windows (I don't get it either). I primarily use Common Lisp at my day job to develop large, automated, build systems, but am also familiar with Python, R, Go, and a bit of C. While I spend my work day in Windows, I use my early mornings and weekends learning everything I can about Linux. I am hoping to finally put some of those skills to use with the Fedora community . - Ryan

Hello, I'm a big fan of Fedora and want to contribute somehow to the Fedora QA. I currently study electrical engineering at the Brno University of Technogy in Brno, Czech republic and I'm also interested in computers generaly. I mean just to imagine the "flying" electrons inside the silicon of the ICs or just to bring my thoughts to the "other side" and think about anything relating to UNIX-like operating systems and it's applications. I also enjoy learning new things about how the things work on the Linux, and for this reason I thought it would be interesting to see and be part of the team which manages the testing in order to find out what is not working properly. :-) Also currently I am an intern at the Red Hat's Brno office. I do have experience with using and administrating Fedora and also RHEL, RHEV.... In the field of programming I do have experience with C language, Python, markup languages and not so markup language as YAML, also I do shell scripting in BASH and sometimes I trying to be POSIX compliant with it. :-) I am available also on: ICQ: 405778592 IRC ptoth(at)irc.freenode.net e-mail: xtothp00(at)stud.feec.vutbr.cz -- alternative I am looking forward to work with you! Kind regards, -- Péter Tóth

F29 test results
by pmkellly＠frontier.com 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

Just some information. I hope it helps. I've tried out a couple of the recent drops (08/25 & 08/26) of Fedora 29 Workstation-Live. These were bare metal installs from DVD on a Lenovo M58. and The DVDs were checked with sha256sum -c beforehand The system booted okay from the DVD and the media test ran okay before the installation started. Anaconda ran fine with all the expected options being presented. The target hardware disk was already full; so the make more space available option was selected. When the the window came up delete all was chosen following by reclaim space. After that the installation process was as expected with the live session starting normally. The restart was selected from the top right menu and the DVD was removed from the drive; so the system would boot from the freshly installed hard drive. The boot proceeded normally with the wallpaper displayed and the top right menu displayed. However, the expected windows that should appear for language etc, and user name password. did not display. The top right menu shows a sub-menu choice for gnome-initial-setup, but the only item in that sub-menu is logout. I tried logging out and back in, but the resulting conditions were the same. I have a small bit of experience running gbd when I helped with a gnome issue last year, but in this particular situation I don't know how to get started. Please let me know if there is something else I can try or do to help. Have a Great Day! Pat (tablepc)
