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.

gnomebaker problems
by Rick Marshall 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

After upgrading from FC6 to F7 gnomebaker stopped working. After poking around again I found that the reason is that gnomebaker is trying to open /dev/sr0 as the scsi recording device, but in my F7 that doesn't exist. However these do exist: [root@rjm src]# ls -l /dev/*sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdrom-sr0 -> scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdrw-sr0 -> scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdwriter-sr0 -> scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvdrw-sr0 -> scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvd-sr0 -> scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvdwriter-sr0 -> scd0 So I added the line: ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/sr0 to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local and gnomebaker works. Why does it get it wrong? Well... [root@rjm src]# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr0 drive speed: 24 drive # of slots: 1 Can close tray: 1 Can open tray: 1 Can lock tray: 1 Can change speed: 1 Can select disk: 0 Can read multisession: 1 Can read MCN: 1 Reports media changed: 1 Can play audio: 1 Can write CD-R: 1 Can write CD-RW: 1 Can read DVD: 1 Can write DVD-R: 1 Can write DVD-RAM: 1 Can read MRW: 1 Can write MRW: 1 Can write RAM: 1 so I guess gnomebaker assumes there is a node called /dev/sr0, but obviously F7 is trying to be friendly by creating specific nodes based on the capabilities of the device and then I assume an application can open the appropriate device. Should gnomebaker be changed? or would it be friendly for F7 to also create the generic node /dev/sr0 at startup as well as the capability specific nodes? Thanks Rick

wireless was working on kernel 2.6.21-1.3207.fc8 but stopped after updates
by Amit Rana 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi, I had f7t4 installed and have been taking updates regularly and with every update some or the other feature stops working (no i am not complaining :) ) Wireless was working fine till 2.6.21-1.3189.fc7 but completely stopped after that. I did not do any change. In the new kernel or wireless tools network manager stopped showing wireless options. This has happened with 2.6.21-1.319x.fc7, 2.6.21-1.3200.fc7 and 2.6.21-1.3207.fc8. I am not sure if this is kernel issue or network manager update issue or wireless tools. my laptop: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=22c8710a-e702-4bcb-b002-448a3e5380… Can anyone please advice me what can I do to enable it again?
