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.

Well, I mean, every few *days* a compose gets nominated for validation
testing, and a mail is sent to test-announce. 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?

Perhaps, it's just that it always seemed to be you doing the testing,
so they got a bit conflated :)

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".
Thanks!

F24 beta virt-install with kickstart fails
by Jos Vos
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.
Thx,

Change in latest update – suspending
by Russel Winder
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?

Self Introduction
by Rayan Das
Hello Fedora testers,
I am Rayan currently persuading my undergrad in Computer Science. I'm
a beginner in Open Source.
I have experience with Linux and im new to Fedorabut not so new. I've
been impressed with it and I would like to contribute with the
project.
I have experiences in Python, C, C++ and Java. I thought Fedora would
be a good place to contribute.
I hope after approval to be a productive member of the team and
looking forward to working with each of you.

Introducing Joseph Boosten
by Joseph Boosten
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

Criteria proposal: cover Server roles in upgrade criteria
by Adam Williamson
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!

Self-Introduction: Pablo Estigarriba (pablodav)
by pablo
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.
