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. ???

F24 beta virt-install with kickstart fails
by Jos Vos 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

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.

Criteria proposal: remove media part of release notes criterion
by Adam Williamson 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Per https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/471 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221920 , it seems we no longer want to require release notes to be present on all media. For simplicity's sake, I suggest we simply remove the media section of the criterion entirely. We could I suppose require that media include some kind of pointer to the release notes, but this seems difficult in the case of e.g. cloud images. Anyone have comments, alternative proposals? Thanks! For the record, the criterion is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_ 23_Final_Release_Criteria#Release_notes : "The final branded release notes must be present on release-blocking images and the appropriately versioned generic release notes must be available in the release repository." I propose amending it to: "The final branded and generic release notes must be present in the release repository." -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

[Fedora QA] #490: F25 Fedora Media Writer as Primary Downloadable test day

#490: F25 Fedora Media Writer as Primary Downloadable test day -----------------------+------------------------ Reporter: sumantrom | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 25 Component: Test Day | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------+------------------------ A major F25 feature is a 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 did a test day in F24 cycle but this would be a great topic for a Test Day as we will be running it for Windows and OS X this time. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraMediaWriterAsPrimaryDownloadab… -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/490> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

[Fedora QA] #488: Proposed Test Day - Modem support

#488: Proposed Test Day - Modem support ----------------------+------------------------ Reporter: lkundrak | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 25 Component: Test Day | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ----------------------+------------------------ 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 -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/488> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance

#483: New Live USB Creator Test Day ----------------------+------------------------ Reporter: adamwill | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 24 Component: Test Day | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ----------------------+------------------------ 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/483> Fedora QA <http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa> Fedora Quality Assurance
