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.

[Fedora QA] #467: DNF Migration: Rolekit Testing

#467: DNF Migration: Rolekit Testing

Rolekit utilizes yum for deploying it's roles (which is currently limited
to domain controller and database), which means it needs to get ported to
dnf and tested. Hopefully a majority of the testing will fall under
general release validation testing, but we need someone to track this
testing effort for F22.

Software Center and Apper both use the same backend tools yum uses. While
this doesn't strictly fall under the umbrella of the DNF migration - we
need someone to keep an eye on these tools and ensure they work. It would
probably be good to have two people handle this, one for Software Center
and one for Apper.

We'll need testing of F20 to F22 upgrades. Both have different installed
package sets due to utilizing different depsolvers which could potentially
cause issues with upgrades. We need someone to handle the testing effort
for FedUp going forward - this will likely require more testing during the
F23 cycle than the F22 cycle.
