NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair
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,

Mouse goes crazy
by Jonathan Villa
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?

Has anybody seen this behavior?

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.

[Fedora QA] #152: Test Cases Management
by fedora-badges
#152: Test Cases Management
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 15
Component: Wiki | Version:
Keywords: retrospective |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
= problem =
We've been using mediawiki to manage tests and record results, though it's
easy to approach, it has limitations such as managing, tracking and
querying cases+results. So is it time for us to consider another solution
such as TCMS?
= analysis =
Here I quoted the suggestion from Victer Chen:
some advantages of TCMS:
* Better to record, track and query test results,
* Allow user focus on test contents instead of document maintenance.
* Share test cases
However, it couldn't be flexible as wiki. I think the most important
things need balance are below:
- Barriers
Fedora should provide very low barriers. TCMS could be configured to
allow anonymous user login and limit it's permission. Also, we can
consider using fedora account to login TCMS.
- Safety
Wiki provides the ability to rollback content easily, while TCMS
couldn't. What TCMS can do is recording all the history and allow user
recovery it manually. But if we configure the permission well, it should
not be a big problem.
= enhancement recommendation =
Work with TCMS team and package it to Fedora. Set up the system and use it
in a small scale first. If it turns out good, enlarger the scale.

#81: Add i18n release criteria

Reporter: jlaska | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
= problem =
See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=571900
RHBZ#571900 - Keyboard mapping not correct (USA instead of Belgium) when
first login after install Fedora 13 Alpha]
= analysis =
* Currently we don't have i18n installation cases, so local language
install is not tested as a demand. Untranslated pages are still existing
after RC test. Such cases needed be added in test as well as release
criteria.
* Does the Fedora i18n team have any release criteria to propose?
* RHBZ #571900 pointed out the need for a better understanding of how the
language and keymap installer selections impact the installed system.
= enhancement recommendation =
Recommend reviewing the release criteria to ensure expectations are
captured around propagating language and keymap settings from install to
desktop login (/etc/sysconfig/i18n, image:Package-x-generic-16.pnggdm
etc...). It may also be advised to coordinate with the installer team so
that bugs can be filed for any missing functionality.
