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.

Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB
error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore.
Has anybody seen this behavior?

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.

"too many timeout resolving $DOMAIN, disabling EDNS"?
by David Hagood
Over the past couple of weeks I've been getting lots of messages like
this in my logs:
unexpected RCODE (SERVFAIL) resolving 'example.com/A/IN': 64.71.97.21#53
Aug 5 17:54:49 Deathwish named[1870]: too many timeouts resolving
'www.example.com/A' (in 'example.com'?): disabling EDNS
(where I have replaced the actual domain with "example.com")
This happens on MANY domains, not just a few, and on domains that I
would think would NOT be likely to have stupid problems (like Google and
Slashdot).
Has something changed in BIND that could cause this?

gdmsetup

hi,
where is gdmsetup or what is the replacement?
$ rpm -q gdm
gdm-2.21.2-0.2007.11.09.1.fc9
$ locate gdmsetup ; grep gdmsetup `locate gdmsetup`
/usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/gnome-gdmsetup.desktop
TryExec=gdmsetup
Exec=gdmsetup
in f7 it is part of gdm:
$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/gdmsetup

nv driver and gnome broken
by David Mack
In the latest rawhide update, the nv driver
(xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.6-6.fc9) kills the X server. The nouveau driver
works.
Once X is running, it fails to start a window manager, repeatedly
spewing this into the log file:
AUDIT: Wed Jan 23 09:01:06 2008: 2932 X: client 1 rejected from local
host ( uid
=0 gid=0 pid=2931 )
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
Doesn't matter whether running xdm or gdm.

SELinux is preventing console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) (consolekit_t) "execute" to <Unknown> (polkit_auth_exec_t).
by Antonio Olivares
Unknown,
what is happening with console-kit-daemon?
Summary:
SELinux is preventing
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon)
(consolekit_t) "execute" to <Unknown>
(polkit_auth_exec_t).
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon). It is
not expected that this
access is required by
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) and this
access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific
version or configuration of the application is causing
it to require additional
access.
Allowing Access:
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.
You could try to restore
the default system file context for <Unknown>,
restorecon -v <Unknown>
If this does not work, there is currently no automatic
way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to
allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385)
Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
