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.

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.

Dependencies for MonoDevelop
by Benjamín Valero Espinosa
Today I have installed MonoDevelop in FC10 (recently installed and
updated) and cannot see or navigate any source file when I try to open
it. For the second problem I have installed "ctags". For the first, I
have tried to install "gtksourceview2-sharp". I think both should be
dependencies of the "monodevelop" package.
When I try:
# pkcon install gtksourceview2-sharp
I get that:
Error: package-already-installed : The packages failed to be installed
But if I search that package, I get that:
available gtksourceview2-sharp-1.0-2.svn89788.2.fc10 A C sharp
binder for gtksourceview2
available gtksourceview2-sharp-devel-1.0-2.svn89788.2.fc10 Development
files for gtksourceview-sharp
so is not really installed. What can it be? Thanks for your work.

Broadcom wireless driver and kernel 2.6.29
by potat0
Is anybody using the broadcom wireless driver (broadcom-wl-5.10.27.12-1.fc11.noarch) with the latest kernel? The best I can tell, it hasn't worked with any kernel in the 2.6.29 series (at least on my Lenovo S10). The oldest kernel that I've still got installed is 2.6.27.9-159 and it works fine.
Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure where to look for any errors that might help with troubleshooting. The Network Manager simply doesn't show any wireless capability.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Emmett "Buddy" Pate

Missing Dependency: netbeans-platform8 is needed by package 1:java-1.6.0*
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow testers,
Has anyone encountered the dependency errors:
--> Missing Dependency: netbeans-platform8 is needed by package 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-8.b14.fc11.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: netbeans-platform8 is needed by package 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-8.b14.fc11.i386 (installed)
I have to bypass this to apply the updates. Only on one machine though :(,
the others work fine :)
it is not in the rawhide report and if it is, I did not see it :(
Thanks,
Antonio
