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. ???

Trying a upgrade from 29 to 30

Of course we always want as much stuff as possible to work, but that does not mean we block the release on it. We certainly want Fedora to work as a guest on VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallels too; we don't block the release on any of those either... > > Well, I mean, every few *days* a compose gets nominated for validation > > testing, and a mail is sent to test-announce.

What you will want to do is listen for completed Branched and Rawhide composes and run tests whenever one completes successfully. This is already exactly what we do to schedule openQA tests; you can crib from the openQA test scheduler: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/fedora_openqa particularly the fedmsg consumer: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/fedora_openqa/blob/master/f/fedora_openqa/consu… c) ideally it would be good to report to both resultsdb and to the wiki. Again, we already do this for openQA, and you can crib from the code there: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/fedora_openqa/blob/master/f/fedora_openqa/repor… reporting to ResultsDB might be tricky due to authentication issues, I'm not sure if we ever put the openID auth stuff into production. For wiki reporting you will either have to auth manually every so often or ask Fedora infra for a special token that doesn't expire (this is what we do for the openQA results). Reporting to ResultsDB you do through resultsdb_api - https://pagure.io/taskotron/resultsdb_api - and optionally you can use my resultsdb_conventions - https://pagure.io/taskotron/resultsdb_conventions - which makes it somewhat easier (IMO anyway) and will make your results consistent with those from openQA and Autocloud. Reporting to the wiki you can do through my crazy python-wikitcms library - https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/python-wikitcms . Again, fedora_openqa does all this for openQA results, so you can crib from that. Let me know if you have trouble with this. > > > > from Oracle.

Aka me, xen-devel@ or committers@ It would be nice if you could ensure someone from Xen is actually watching the Fedora lists, if working in Fedora is a target for Xen. We *could* try and CC stuff all the time, but imagine if we tried to do that for everybody.

I'd also say we still haven't really got a convincing case for why we should continue to block the release (at least in theory) on Fedora working in Xen when we don't block on any other virt stack apart from our 'official' one, and we don't block on all sorts of other stuff we'd "like to have working" either. Regardless of the testing issues, I'd like to see that too if we're going to keep blocking on Xen... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

rawhide net install image doesn't work with bios partitions
by stan 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Hi, I pulled the server net install iso for rawhide, the future Fedora 31, and tried to install it. I used custom install with existing partitions on a bios partitioned disk. It refused to install because it wanted gpt and uefi. I swap back and forth between predefined partitions, so I always have a working Fedora to fall back on. This has worked fine in the past. Is gpt and uefi now required for install? I didn't see a way to toggle the setting. Thanks.

rawhide LiveOS boot, journalctl is missing many early messages
by Chris Murphy 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Anybody else able to reproduce this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715699 Basically you just boot a Rawhide LiveOS image in a VM with systemd.log_level=debug and then once booted see what you get for # journalctl -b -o short-monotonic It should start with 0 seconds, with the first line of what you see in dmesg. For me it's missing everything before 20 seconds. If I don't use the debug switch, it doesn't happen, so it's like the debug option is flooding the journal and it just bails. OOooh I have a possible suspect! [liveuser@localhost ~]$ losetup NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE DIO LOG-SEC /dev/loop1 0 0 0 1 /LiveOS/rootfs.img 0 512 /dev/loop2 0 0 0 0 /overlay (deleted) 0 512 /dev/loop0 0 0 0 1 /run/initramfs/live/LiveOS/squashfs.img 0 512 [liveuser@localhost ~]$ What is this loop2 /overlay that's been deleted? I wonder if it's possible the journal got flushed there at first, and then it was deleted? I find it kinda hard to believe I've got more than 16MiB of journal messages just by booting the system, and there are two system journals in /var/log/journal/$MACHINEID/ but that's apparently not everything. -- Chris Murphy

Self Introduction - Afras Ashraf (gcomputenerd)
by gcomputenerd 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hello Everyone, I am Afras Ashraf, I am a python programmer, a linux system administrator, and an Open Source enthusiast and Fedora is a distro which I have been in love with for 3 years now. As part of my Open Source venture, I wanna help out with the Fedora Project. So as I went on through whatcanidoforfedora.org , I bookmarked links to all the places I could contribute to, and QA and Testing was one of those links. I hope to be of use to the community, and help out with testing, instruction, writing, and coding. Thank You, Afras

Self-introduction: Melvin George
by Melvin George 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hi all, Good day! I'm Melvin George, with an eye for details... and faults. I'm from Bangalore, India. Presently pursuing opportunities in product management with interest in defining Quality and UAT for products. I started using OpenSuse about 8 years ago. But, about 5 years ago is when I used the black and white screen of CentOS extensively, while I owned the backend systems at a mobile app startup. It would give me the pleasure to realise products that care for the user and adapt to user's needs as a caring human would. Thanks a lot for your time. Looking forward to knowing about each of you. Until then, let's find some bugs, redefine quality standards and make the coolest sidekick OS for users around the world! -- Kind regards, Melvin George LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/melvin-george-1092b092/>
