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

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] #273: Improve browseability of validation matrix pages

#273: Improve browseability of validation matrix pages -----------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: adamwill | Owner: adamwill Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 17 Component: Proventester Mentor Request | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------------------+------------------------ = problem = cwickert and sandro have told us they have trouble finding the validation matrix pages when they need them. = analysis = we do have the pages logically named and categorized, but it's still not that easy to, for e.g., see all the desktop result pages for a given release at a glance. = enhancement recommendation = We could add more categories, for example "Fedora XX {{desktop,base,install}} validation results" categories, and any others that come to mind (suggestions please!) It would be nice to have 'next / previous' links that would let you browse from Final RC4 back to Final RC3 back to Final RC2 back to Final RC1 back to Final TC2 back to Final TC1 back to Beta RC4 and so on, but I'm not sure if that's plausible to implement automatically (it would be relatively easy to do manually when creating the pages, though). -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/273> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

This is a meta-ticket with the aim of identifying, well, everything QA does, and making sure they all have SOPs. For a start, I'm going to do a survey of the QA calendar for a release, and check whether we have an SOP for each task. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/228> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

[Fedora QA] #307: Add multi-desktop and multi-arch images to validation process
by fedora-badges 29 Jan '15

#307: Add multi-desktop and multi-arch images to validation process ----------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: adamwill | Owner: adamwill Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Fedora 18 Component: Blocker/NTH review process | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ----------------------------------------+------------------------ For the last few releases, we've been releasing two dual-layer DVD images - one contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVD images, and the other contains the major live spins all together with a menu for picking which one to boot. We don't really encourage public downloads of these, but we _do_ print them on physical media and distribute them at conferences and via the ambassadors program. Apparently, for F17, at least one of the images turned out to be badly broken and we printed/gave out several thousand coasters. Whoops. So, it seems we can't rely on these compendium images to always be working properly, and QA should be validating them before they're used for anything. We'll need to co-ordinate with releng, FAmSCo and possibly FPL on this one, for timing issues. The compendium images are built _after_ the main set of final release images, and this is probably unavoidable, because we have to sign off definitely on the release images before building compilations of them. So we should probably define an official schedule and process for building and testing the compendium images right after the go/no-go, on a schedule that works for FAmSCo and regularly-scheduled events where these media are distributed. CCing Robyn (FPL) and cwickert for FAmSCo. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/307> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

This step should be done in cooperation with other teams (like anaconda and FESCo)."
