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.

A major F24 feature is a
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LUCasPrimaryDownloadable rewrite
of liveusb-creator] which may become the primary download for Workstation
(so instead of an ISO file, you'd get the liveusb-creator app from the
Workstation download page). However, we really haven't done much testing
of it yet and don't know if it's working properly, running on all the
platforms it needs to run on, and has all the features it ought to have.
This would be a great topic for a Test Day. We should co-ordinate with the
developers, Jiri Eischmann and Martin Briza, on this - they're both pretty
familiar with QA so they should be open to working with us. I'll mail them
and ask them to sign up to this ticket.

After discovering https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221247 it
seems reasonable we should test this more properly in the future.
Currently we seem to have no test case about resizing partitions in manual
part dialog. We probably should, and test it against at least a standard
partition and a logical volume. Optionally, we can split standard
partitions into ext4 and ntfs, to cover similar use cases as in our
QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_shrink .
