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. ???

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.

Problem running OOo downloaded from openoffice.org
by Joe Smith 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Installing the OO.org 2.4 packages on F9 beta, I get this message when starting: $ /opt/OOH680_m12/program/soffice Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": /opt/OOH680_m12/program/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/bug-buddy/libbreakpad.so.0) OOo then starts and seems to run ok, but it will not run from a desktop launcher using that same command, I presume because bug-buddy can't be started. I don't know what the Fedora policy is here: does it matter at this point whether a third-party package isn't starting cleanly? Nor do I understand the message well enough to decide who to report it to. It seems that OOo uses it's own libstdc++ which is not compatible with gnomebreakpad, but I've not found a way to have gnomebreakpad look elsewhere for that library. Any suggestions if/where to file a report, and/or how to workaround the problem? <Joe

k3b complains about /dev/sr0
by Antonio Olivares 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Dear all, k3b is complaining about access to /dev/sr0 has there been a change that is causing this? No write access to device /dev/sr0 K3b needs write access to all the devices to perform certain tasks. Without it you might encounter problems with HL-DT-ST - DVDRAM GMA-4082N Solution: Make sure you have write access to /dev/sr0. In case you are not using devfs or udev K3bSetup is able to do this for you. Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found. K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons. Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of Mp3 support via an online update tool (i.e. SuSE's YOU). TIA, Antonio

I've been trying the rawhide kernels since PAT is now an option when configuring the kernel, but on my desktop the mtrr are not configured correctly assuming by the bios and disabling them makes system performance drop to unusable levels.

Prep for F7 EOL Closure + Other BugZapper News
by John Poelstra 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

We want to move more of the processes (like the one below) out to the wider bug triage community so that all the bug zappers have a view into what we are doing on the infrastructure front. I'm open for ways we should do this... maybe the time has come for our own mailing list? Attendance at our IRC meetings has been thin and I'm not sure why that is. I'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism on how we should do meetings differently. Below is a draft of the ticket I'm going to file with Red Hat Engineering Operations (aka Eng Ops) to auto-close Fedora 7 bugs when it goes EOL in a few weeks. Now my secret is out... this is "the bot" everyone loves ;-) If you have any proposed changes to the text please reply to the list by 2008-05-26 and then I'll transfer the final version to the wiki and file with Eng Ops. Thanks for reading, John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Request Title: Fedora 7 EOL Bug Closing Date to run: On or after June 15, 2008 Query to select bugs: http://tinyurl.com/3osskh User making changes & comments: fedora-triage-list(a)redhat.com Please script changes such that only ONE email notification is sent for all changes. Actions to take on all bugs selected in query above: 1) Change bug status to CLOSED:WONTFIX 2) Add the following comment: === START ==== Fedora 7 went to end-of-life status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 will no longer maintained or receive updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. === END ====
