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.

F24 beta virt-install with kickstart fails
by Jos Vos
Hi,
Did anyone succeed in virt-install'ing F24 beta using kickstart
(on CentOS 6 host, if that matters)?
I see lots of warnings (dracut-initqueue), then the console goes
into a slowly filling bar at the bottom (plymouthd!?), then I see
lots of "No space left on device" errors, then a dracut emergency
shell is started.
The generated rdsosreport.txt contains 34284 lines...
FWIW, when *not* using kickstart I can install F24 beta on the
same system with virt-install fine.
Thx,

We'd like to organize a test day for Modem support.
Fedora 25 is going to include new !ModemManager 1.6 major release and also
updated associated tooling (libqmi, libmbim, usb_modeswitch and
usb_modeswitch-data).
There's a lot of new devices and features supported and some potentially
dangerous changes (removed driver binding hack). Let's make sure we can
support the hardware our users and testers have.
Available for the support will be the !NetworkManager crowd (definitely
me, then perhaps thaller, bgalvani, fguidici and dcbw).
Date: preferrably after the Alpha (we will provide COPR for older releases
too) so that the regular OS images can be used.
Preferably sometime between August 15th and August 30th, 2016
Alternatively after September 6th

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.
