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?

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.

Should I ask on development channel?

kstartupconfig4 error
by Jim Bevier
I did an i386 upgrade from F11 -> F12 on two different systems using the install
DVD. They both use gnome and kde desktops. After the upgrade, I try to log in
using kde and I get the error: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The
error code is 127. Check your installation". After some searching, I found
this same error was present in F10->F11 upgrade. It seems during the upgrade,
libssl.so.8 and libcrypto.so.8 links are removed and kstartupconfig4 can no
longer start. In /usr/lib I did "ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.8" and "ln -s
libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.8". This then allowed kstartupconfig4 to run and kde
worked again. I did not see any mention of this problem on the rawhide list
during beta & RC testing, so I guess nobody did this type of upgrade. Hope this
helps someone.

Proposal for new QA test for L10N
by Noriko Mizumoto
Hi QA team
I am Noriko Mizumoto, coming from Fedora Localization Project.
As we are in scheduling period, I'd like to propose new QA test to be
created. Here is the detail.
I am quite new to QA activity, so it would be highly appreciated for
your guidance.
[Introduction]
For software translations, FLP translators work on PO file so they never
know where particular string to be appeared in UI. The Build release
packages for review allows translators to review their work in UI with
the aspect of QA and to give a chance for correction.
This event have been proposed by FLSCo and approved by FESCo [1].
[Test Strategy]
This is the course of events order which can be found in the schedule [2].
1) Software String Freeze
(*Request f-dev-announcement for Build F13 pkgs with latest translation
for L10n Review)
2) Software Translation Period (POT to PO)
3) Build F-13 collection packages for all language translators
4) Review and correct software translation in built UI
5) Software: Translation Deadline (PO Files complete)
6) Software: Start Rebuild all translated packages
7) Software: Rebuild all translated packages
8) Beta Freeze
At 3), all F13 packages will be built with latest translation by
packagers. Then at the end of 3), Live Image needs to be crated for QA.
[Test Priority]
n/a
[Scope]
All components (packages) under F13 release [3].
[Test Pass/Fail Criteria]
The test will be completed at the deadline date.
See, 5) Software: Translation Deadline (PO Files complete)
7 Test Deliverables
* High quality of translation
* Bugs will be filed against package(s) which shows problem in
translation [4].
[Test Cases]
"Instruction" for consistent test to be created and posted.
[Test Environment]
n/a
[Responsibilities]
Packagers: Build packages with latest translation
Translators: QA test for translation quality
QA: Create Live image
[Schedule]
See test strategy.
[Risks]
Package not built according to the schedule by packagers.
If this happens, that package will not display latest translation in UI
making unable to review.
To prevent this, the request (shown with bracket in the above) will be
sent to f-devel-announce before 3) Build F-13 collection packages for
all language translators.

Bugzilla semantics: marking bugs as triaged
by Adam Williamson
I had interesting discussions with Andy Lindeberg and jlaska today about
the semantics of our current Bugzilla - and particularly triage -
workflow.
We were thinking about the NEW / ASSIGNED dichotomy, and Andy and I came
to the conclusion that it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Right now, Bugzappers uses it one way, Andy uses it another for
anaconda. In the Bugzappers process, ASSIGNED just means, really,
Triaged: you set a bug to ASSIGNED once the triage process is complete.
For Anaconda, Andy sets bugs to ASSIGNED once they're assigned to the
correct anaconda maintainer (whether or not the rest of triage is yet
fully completed).
Neither case is really terribly problematic, but they also don't make a
whole lot of sense, really. Having 'triage completed' as a status is a
bit arguable; it's not quite in the flow of the statuses, as a bug could
be at a point 'beyond' ASSIGNED but not yet have been triaged, for
instance. And it's also just semantically wrong - the word 'assigned'
does not mean 'triaged'.
In the anaconda case, we just thought about it and decided the use of
ASSIGNED isn't really _achieving_ anything: you can tell whether the
bug's been assigned or not just by looking at who it's assigned to.
We sort of came to the conclusion that it'd probably make the most sense
to have a 'Triaged' keyword that's used to affirm that a bug's been
triaged (in fact there already is one, but it's not officially used in
our current process), and abandon the distinction between NEW and
ASSIGNED. Ideally, the ASSIGNED state would just be removed, but we
could keep it and just note in our workflow / policy that it's not
really used to mean anything in particular.
This could, I think, be implemented quite quickly if desired; I think we
could rig something up to set all bugs in ASSIGNED state (except
anaconda ones) to have the 'Triaged' keyword, that shouldn't be
impossible.
We'd be interested in thoughts - negative, positive, whatever - on the
idea. Thanks!
