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?

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?

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.

------------------------------+------------------
= problem =
There are no rules holding us to a sane minimal package set. Features
which are added to minimal could pull in the whole universe.
= analysis =
Drawing the line at X11 seems reasonable. (And Wayland.) We can argue at
length about what minimal means, but this is a fairly clear line in the
sand ''and'' is usually a reasonable split at a package level ''and''
matches our historic practice (see vim packages for example).
= enhancement recommendation =
"No package in the minimal install set may have a dependency chain which
includes the libX11, the core X11 library (or its equivalent in Wayland).
Packages must split functionality requiring this into subpackages, or be
removed from the minimal package set."
My suggestion is to make this an Alpha criterion, so such issues can be
resolved early, but I don't have strong feelings on the particular timing.

[Fedora QA] #443: Better format for test compose (TC) and release candidate (RC) requests

#443: Better format for test compose (TC) and release candidate (RC) requests
----------------------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: jreznik | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 21
Component: Blocker/NTH review process | Version:
Keywords: | Blocked By:
Blocking: |
----------------------------------------+------------------------
= problem =
With Dennis (in CC), we discussed how to make release process, with
Fedora.next in mind, more transparent and bullet proof. One issue is that
releng request can become pretty messy, with full text included and
sometimes it leads to errors (omission of packages in compose etc).
= enhancement recommendation =
One possibility is to visibly separate full text description (with bug
numbers, reasons - it's good to have history) and the list of exact nvrs
(maybe in code block?), try to avoid "qt bundle" etc. so it's easier to
pick up the right list (for blockers, FEs + exceptional tools requests).
Another thing is better coordination between requester/releng - to mark
when/which list was picked up etc, in similar way how Go/No-Go decision is
stated in the ticket.
Now I'll let more space to Dennis, maybe example of how the request should
look like to make it easy to parse would help.
Long term (and preferred) solution would be to have automation in place,
Blocker app talking to releng interface, compose database, web dashboard
etc...

We don't have an explicit test for doing a Secure Boot install. We should
have one, for the most basic case (install to a system with a typical OEM
