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. ???

Just check your test- announce archives for mails with "nominated for testing" in their subject lines, and you'll see dozens. Is this not sufficient notification? > > from Oracle.

This is only practical if it's going to be tested, and tested regularly - not *only* on the final release candidate, right before we sign off on the release. It needs to be tested regularly throughout the release cycle, on the composes that are "nominated for testing".

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.

Change in latest update – suspending
by Russel Winder 03 May '18

03 May '18

Hi, I have just done the 3GB update on my machines. Now I find that laptops and workstations go into suspend mode without being told to. For me this is not what I want. I am assuming the recent big update has included a change of setting somewhere. I am not sure where to find this. Can anyone tell me? -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk

Introducing Joseph Boosten
by Joseph Boosten 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Hello All, I would like to introduce myself with this mail: My name is Joseph Boosten, 37 years old, living in the Netherlands, married and a daughter (3 years old now). My hobbies are: Arduino - Modeltrains (also the combination Arduino and modeltrains)- Fishing As a Linux user i switched recently to Fedora, and would like to contribute to the Fedora Project. I was a Windows user and made the switch to Linux, and i have to admit, it's much better. I used many distro's, but Fedora is the best one (in my opinion). But i have to admit that i use sometime Windows still 😊. I'm looking forward to contribute where i can. Best Regards, Joseph Boosten boostenjoseph@hotmail Twitter: @josephboosten

Criteria proposal: cover Server roles in upgrade criteria
by Adam Williamson 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Preamble: I know we're planning to throw rolekit out entirely, but I believe we're planning to continue to consider the actual functions behind the roles (FreeIPA and postgres) as blocking, so I'd like to get this done so we remember to include it in that change. Postamble: Back in F27 cycle, specifically in the 2017-10-23 blocker review meeting, we agreed to cover the release-blocking Server roles in the upgrade criteria. That is noted here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503321#c7 However, we never actually made the change. So, here I am proposing it! We should change the Beta criterion 'Upgrade requirements' as follows. Main text should go from: "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from fully updated installations of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed." to: "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, and the package sets for each of the release-blocking Server roles, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from fully updated installations of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed." I think that's actually all the change necessary, as the bullet point "The upgraded system must meet all release criteria" then requires that the upgraded roles actually work. Thoughts? Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Self-Introduction: Pablo Estigarriba (pablodav)
by pablo 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Hi team, I'm glad to join to Fedora test Team. I have working with fedora since Fedora 24 at home with two personal computers (laptop and desktop). And I'm more and more happy with Fedora on each release. I have used to upgrade my Fedora boxes on Testing days (pre-beta) for all releases since 25, and also reported some bugs in bugzilla. I haven't found bugs testing Fedora 28 today, so now I'm interested on contributing more with needed testing for things I don't use to test. My name is Pablo Estigarribia, I'm 33 years old and live at Fray Bentos Uruguay. I'm a sysadmin/netadmin since around 12 years ago, now also working with some devops and many IT projects at work. I have also sent request to join to Fedora QA group. Regards, Pablo.
