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. ???

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.

With experimental release of EXT4 in 2.6.19, is it possible it will be in rawhide soon and in FC7 at release time? Thanks,

Are My RPM/Yum Seg-Faults Due to the Kernel FIle Corruption?
by Paul Dickson 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Is the file corruption problem currently being discussed on LKML related to the RPM/Yum seg-faults I occasionally on my 300 MHz, PII, notebook (with only 256 MB of RAM)? I usually see the seg-faults while glibc-common is being updated during a large update (within the first 2 or 3 files of 30+ file update). If I update glibc* first, that, and the following updated of the remainder always works. If glibc has a lot of dependency info, I can see the /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* databases taking a hit and requiring manual deletion to restart. If this is true, this bug might have started before FC6 was released, but only gets hit when memory runs low. -Paul

mirror list and debuginfo bad, Ok with direct URL
by Jim Cornette 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

I just had a crash with gnome-games and decided to install the debuginfo package so the information provided in the reports would be more useful to track down the problem with the bug buddy output. I had to use the direct url instead of the mirrorlist to get to the debuginfo packages. Should the default be for the single url since these packages are in less demand than the other binary rpms?
