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.

Bugzilla semantics: marking bugs as triaged
by Adam Williamson 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

I had interesting discussions with Andy Lindeberg and jlaska today about the semantics of our current Bugzilla - and particularly triage - workflow. We were thinking about the NEW / ASSIGNED dichotomy, and Andy and I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Right now, Bugzappers uses it one way, Andy uses it another for anaconda. In the Bugzappers process, ASSIGNED just means, really, Triaged: you set a bug to ASSIGNED once the triage process is complete. For Anaconda, Andy sets bugs to ASSIGNED once they're assigned to the correct anaconda maintainer (whether or not the rest of triage is yet fully completed). Neither case is really terribly problematic, but they also don't make a whole lot of sense, really. Having 'triage completed' as a status is a bit arguable; it's not quite in the flow of the statuses, as a bug could be at a point 'beyond' ASSIGNED but not yet have been triaged, for instance. And it's also just semantically wrong - the word 'assigned' does not mean 'triaged'. In the anaconda case, we just thought about it and decided the use of ASSIGNED isn't really _achieving_ anything: you can tell whether the bug's been assigned or not just by looking at who it's assigned to. We sort of came to the conclusion that it'd probably make the most sense to have a 'Triaged' keyword that's used to affirm that a bug's been triaged (in fact there already is one, but it's not officially used in our current process), and abandon the distinction between NEW and ASSIGNED. Ideally, the ASSIGNED state would just be removed, but we could keep it and just note in our workflow / policy that it's not really used to mean anything in particular. This could, I think, be implemented quite quickly if desired; I think we could rig something up to set all bugs in ASSIGNED state (except anaconda ones) to have the 'Triaged' keyword, that shouldn't be impossible. We'd be interested in thoughts - negative, positive, whatever - on the idea.

Preupgrade to rawhide?
by Ian Pilcher 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Is it possible to "preupgrade" to rawhide? I would very much like to test this, since a "normal" installation won't work on my system. (See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517556.) Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com ========================================================================

Repeated Kernel Oopses (WiFi)
by Christopher A Williams 14 Sep '09

14 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? Cheers, Chris Kernel failure message 1: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sta.c:728 iwl_set_dynamic_key+0x1d9/0x443 [iwlcore]() (Not tainted) Hardware name: 2765T6U no space for new kewModules linked in: usb_storage aes_x86_64 aes_generic fuse rfcomm bridge stp llc bnep sco l2cap vmnet ppdev parport_pc parport vmblock vmci vmmon sunrpc ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_filter ip6_tables ipv6 cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq freq_table dm_multipath uinput snd_hda_codec_conexant snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec arc4 ecb snd_hwdep iwlagn snd_pcm iwlcore snd_timer firewire_ohci snd firewire_core lib80211 thinkpad_acpi soundcore btusb mac80211 yenta_socket i2c_i801 hwmon snd_page_alloc e1000e crc_itu_t iTCO_wdt rsrc_nonstatic wmi pcspkr bluetooth cfg80211 iTCO_vendor_support joydev i915 drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core video output [last unloaded: microcode] Pid: 11, comm: events/1 Not tainted 2.6.29.3-155.fc11.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810489bf>] warn_slowpath+0xbc/0xf0 [<ffffffff81186570>] ? selinux_d_instantiate+0x1c/0x1e [<ffffffff8117f82b>] ? security_d_instantiate+0x24/0x26 [<ffffffff8117f9eb>] ? security_inode_permission+0x21/0x23 [<ffffffffa019202a>] iwl_set_dynamic_key+0x1d9/0x443 [iwlcore] [<ffffffffa01c7cbd>] iwl_mac_set_key+0x245/0x3a0 [iwlagn] [<ffffffff8117160f>] ? debugfs_remove+0x16/0x65 [<ffffffffa010cd64>] __ieee80211_key_todo+0x156/0x24b [mac80211] [<ffffffffa010cf8b>] ? key_todo+0x0/0x10 [mac80211] [<ffffffffa010cf7d>] ieee80211_key_todo+0x1a/0x28 [mac80211] [<ffffffffa010cf99>] key_todo+0xe/0x10 [mac80211] [<ffffffff81058e0a>] run_workqueue+0xa7/0x14a [<ffffffff81058f99>] worker_thread+0xec/0xfd [<ffffffff8105ca4b>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x39 [<ffffffff81058ead>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xfd [<ffffffff81058ead>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xfd [<ffffffff8105c6b5>] kthread+0x4d/0x78 [<ffffffff8101264a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff81011f67>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8105c668>] ? kthread+0x0/0x78 [<ffffffff81012640>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 ---[ end trace 8824362b81a62bd1 ]--- -- ====================== "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -- Albert Einstein

Fedora 12: Have Hard Drive, Want To Test
by Robert L Cochran 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

I have this slightly used hard drive which some kind soul (bless you, sir) popped into a rather thinly padded mailer and tossed in the U. S. Postal mail. It arrived today in my mailbox, and no doubt experienced numerous bumps, shoves, crushes, and hard landings between the origin and destination. Assuming the thing actually works correctly when I plug it into a system and switch the power on, I'd like to try out Fedora 12. How do I actually install to the hard drive from rawhide? I don't think I tried that before. Thanks Bob
