Anything New on nVidia?
by Christopher A Williams 10 May '08

10 May '08

With the delays in F9 and X, I was wondering if there was anything new on updated nVidia drivers. I frankly got lost trying to peruse nvnews.net and with my job load lately, haven't had much time anyway. Can anyone in the know give an update? I'm hopeful we'll see something shortly after F9 releases in a few days...

rawhide (9-RC1) install report - two bugs
by G.Wolfe Woodbury 10 May '08

10 May '08

Complete install of rawhide-20080510 (9-RC1) reveals two bugs: 1) netfs occurs before NetworkManager, so NFS filesystems don't get mounted: BZ# 445966 2) system hangs on diabling quotas during shutdown BZ# 445961 Still can't make askmethod or method= work when stage2= is present. Otherwise things are working after workarounds are done. Specifically, NetworkManager is properly handling the wired ethernet, and SELinux is not getting in the way of normal operation. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury

NEEDINFO-A-THON Bug Triage Opportunity 2008-05-09
by John Poelstra 10 May '08

10 May '08

Here is another bug triage opportunity! Right now there are approximately 208 bugs in NEEDINFO for 'rawhide'. http://tinyurl.com/6559fw The bugs located by this query need to be reviewed to determine if they should remain in NEEDINFO or changed to ASSIGNED or CLOSED (other states could also apply). o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:reporter for less than 30 days -- no action should be taken o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:reporter for greater than 30 days: --it can be set to CLOSED:INSUFFICIENT_DATA if the information requested of the bug reporter has not been provided and it appears no further work can be done without this information. --it can be set to ASSIGNED if the reporter has provided the requested information o If a bug has been in NEEDINFO:assignee (package maintainer) for more than 30 days, review the comments and ping the maintainer as appropriate to see what next steps can be taken. *DO NOT* automatically close NEEDINFO bugs waiting on a package maintainer. If you come across a bug where you're not sure what to do, ask for help on #fedora-qa or reply to this mail with the bug number and someone will come to your aide :-) Thanks for your help! John p.s. If you're looking for a bonus opportunity because everyone else beat you to the bugs above--here is a query which will locate all of the NEEDINFO bugs for Fedora 8 (currently 268 bugs): http://tinyurl.com/5kcwkf You can apply the same steps as above. p.s.s. If you have been intimidated by bugzilla's interface and fear running your own query (I definitely used to be), check out how easy it really is by scrolling to the bottom of the query results and clicking on "edit search". Now you can search for your own favorite bugs to triage :-)

atheros a5k wireless in newer kernels: not working?
by Benjamin De Kosnik 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hey. The 2.6.25-ish kernels supposedly support a5k wireless drivers, in particular 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) found in core2 mac minis. So, I tried recent kernels in rawhide out on mine. Although now the card seems to be found, and when I activate NM and scope out the wireless scene the usual base station suspects can be found, I'm unable to actually connect to anything. Still, progress. Since this is newly supported hardware, I am not surprised to see difficulties but thought I'd ask around here to see if there are things I should try or what other helpful data would be appropriate for a bugzilla entry. best, benjamin

Latest NM and S-C-N
by David G. Mackay 09 May '08

09 May '08

I just installed the latest NetworkManager. It came up at boot, which is good. Just for fun, I deleted eth0 in sys-config-network, then re-added it. It did not set the managed by NetworkManager flag, and it did not set up DNS. Are the fixes for S-C-N due soon? Dave

F9 preview's grub doesn't grok USB keyboards
by Rick Stevens 09 May '08

09 May '08

Just a warning...I just tried the F9 preview DVD (x86_64) and grub doesn't respond to a USB keyboard. You can't select a different boot option other than the default and (obviously) can't edit the boot parameters. I haven't played with BIOS settings, but the USB keyboard works fine with F8's x86_64 DVD. Just thought you should know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer rps2(a)nerd.com - - Hosting Consulting, Inc. - - - - What's small, yellow and very, VERY dangerous?

This means that a screen reader user has no way to know when it's OK to login. There is no "beep" on backspace at the Login and Passwd entry. More seriously still: SoundOnLogin=true SoundOnLoginFile=[some].wav in /etc/gdm/custom.conf continues broken. Of course we're needing the additional benefit of starting Orca for TTS via Ctrl-s, Orca with braille via Ctrl-b, etc. I can't comment on anything other than sound myself, but will be happy to investigate the other gestures if that's desired. But, what should we expect for sound?
