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. ???

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? -- Rex

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.

Heads up - Anaconda 22.17 will enforce 'good' passwords
by Brian C. Lane 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

This Friday's build of Anaconda will no longer allow you to use weak passwords and click done twice. In order to promote more secureish default systems I have increased the password length required to 8 characters and removed allowing weak (as defined by libpwquality) passwords. I *know* this is going to be a bit of a pain to get used to. But the increased security is worth it. Super simple passwords will no longer be allowed, but it is still easy to come up with one that passes the checks. pwgen has lots of suggestions. And on the bright side, you don't have to click done twice anymore :) -- Brian C. Lane | Anaconda Team | IRC: bcl #anaconda | Port Orchard, WA (PST8PDT)

OS X dual boot criterion problems
by Adam Williamson 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hi, folks. Talking to cmurf, our resident OS X dual boot expert, on #fedora-qa, it's become clear that when we adopted the OS X dual boot criterion a few weeks back, we didn't have a good understanding of the current state of that code and particularly upstream grub's support for booting OS X via UEFI. Basically it seems that booting OS X from grub didn't work then and doesn't work now and we can't realistically fix it, so we shouldn't have put that criterion in place because it's not something we can actually viably achieve. cmurf, roshi, kparal and I voted +1 to removing the criterion on that basis. I'm hoping cmurf will be kind enough to look at the issue again for the F22 cycle, in consultation with pjones if necessary, so we can put a realistic requirement in place before we get into F22 Alphas. If no-one has any objections, we'll make the removal formal ahead of tomorrow's Go/No-Go meeting for 21. Thanks folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Does anyone reuse /boot or /var partitions ?
by Adam Williamson 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

There's a proposed anaconda patch ATM which would disallow mounting an existing partition as /boot or /var (or any subdirectory of those except /var/www ) without reformatting it. i.e., you can't reuse an existing partition with those mountpoints. I'm curious to know if anyone / many people do this, and if so, if there's a particularly good use case for it; if so, we might want to provide that feedback to the anaconda folks. There are a few references to using shared /boot on Google, but not that many, and mostly for crazy multiboot configurations that we really don't want to be stuck dealing with. Does anyone know of a really sensible use case for this? For the record, this is actually re-hooking up code that was used in oldUI - that is, F17 and earlier - but in oldUI it just produced a warning you had to click through; the current patch flat disallows it. The main driving force for this is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1074358 , as it keeps turning out to be annoyingly tricky to make sure that only newly- installed kernels have their initramfs regenerated when installing to a shared /boot partition. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Unexpected qadevel outage
by Tim Flink 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I'm not sure what happened but the machine hosting qadevel became unresponsive sometime in the last 12 hours and is not recoverable. I'm going to be rebuilding the host today but until I'm done, phabricator and the other services on qadevel will not be available. I'll update this thread as I make progress towards getting everything working again. Tim
