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.

Trying a upgrade from 29 to 30
by Ludovic Hirlimann
Hi all,
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/30/Schedule 30 has
been branched. So time for me to upgrade from 29 so I can report issue
with the way I use fedora.
I'm using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade to upgrade.

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!

Blocking criteria proposal for F30+: Printing
by Stephen Gallagher
There was a bug[1] filed recently that indicated that printing was
broken on certain printers. As a result of that discussion, it became
apparent that there was no criteria for printing to work at all, which
seems like an oversight.
I discussed this briefly with Matthias Clasen this morning and he
agreed that this should be treated as blocking for Workstation.
I'd like to propose that we add the following criteria to Beta for Fedora 30+:
* Printing must work on at least one printer available to Fedora QA.
"Work" is defined as the output from the device matching a preview
shown on the GNOME print preview display. (Note that differences in
color reproduction are not considered "non-working".)
and this to Final for Fedora 30+:
* Printing must work on at least one printer using each of the
following drivers:
(I don't know which ones to specify here, but we ought to try to
figure out a cross-section that covers a large swath of our expected
user base).

Well, we don't have to be that specific in the release criteria,
honestly. We're talking about blocker criteria specifically for
blocking desktops, so in my opinion it's okay to have "test page" and
"basic text editor" as the stand-ins for this. (This is similar to how
we have "package manager must be able to download and apply updates"
as a stand-in for "the network must not be totally broken".)
I'd be fine if we wanted to add a corollary that either of these are
not blockers if it can be shown that other applications can print
successfully. I just wanted to suggest those as the basic litmus test.

<snip>
I'm going to suggest that going into this level of detail on how to
write the tests is mostly going to cloud the issue. I think we first
want to make sure we agree that the basics of the proposal are sound.
I'm perfectly happy to delegate the specifics of how to verify the
functionality to the subject matter experts.
I'll update the proposal again with some of the feedback:
* Printing must work on at least one printer available to Fedora QA.
"Work" is defined as the output from the device matching a preview
shown on the GNOME print preview display. (Note that non-ridiculous
differences in color reproduction are not considered "non-working". In
general, we'll apply the "last blocker at Go/No-Go" principle here
when deciding whether a print glitch is truly blocking.)
and this to Final for Fedora 30+:
* Printing must work (as defined above) on at least one printer using
each of the following drivers:
- The built-in print-to-PDF driver
- The generic IPP driver
* For each blocking desktop, it must be possible to print:
- A test page from the desktop environment's built-in "test page"
feature, if such a feature exists.
- A simple text document of at least 100 words (lorem ipsum) from
the standard basic text editor accompanying that desktop.
This does not mean that all printers need to function properly that
use the IPP driver, just that at least one does (so we
know that printing as a whole is unbroken). We won't specify any
particular hardware makes or models that must work.
