Also, if you're willing to upgrade to 10.2, openssh 4.4 includes the
new server config option ForceCommand. From the sshd_config(5) man page:

  ForceCommand
Forces the execution of the command specified by ForceCommand,
ignoring any command supplied by the client.  The command is
invoked by using the user's login shell with the -c option.
This applies to shell, command, or subsystem execution.  It is
most useful inside a Match block.  The command originally
supplied by the client is available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
environment variable.

You could then add something like the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  Match group dbusers
ForceCommand sleep 180

(assuming you've added all the users you want to allow access to the
database to the dbusers group.)  This will cause the command "sleep 180"
to run on behalf of the connecting user, regardless of what command
they request. You could also make a shell script which invokes sleep
and then provide an AppArmor profile for the shell script to make the
enforcement stronger.

You'd also want to make sure sshd is not configured to honor environment
variables (for those users at a minimum). You may also wish to look into
the "PermitOpen" keyword (also new in openssh 4.4), which would allow
you to restrict which hosts+ports your users are allowed to create a
tunnel to, preventing them from opening tunnels to anywhere else behind
your port filter.

[opensuse] problems after upgrade to 10.2

[George Osvald]

Recently I upgraded my computers to Suse 10.2. Two of them were no
problem but the third one gives me a headache.
Since the upgrade it would not print into my HP Officejet. It still
prints into Dymo labelwriter because I have it set up as raw printer.
I get this error message from my CUPS server:
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"
I tried all sorts of things without a success. This printer was
printing fine with a previous version and I also have two other (with
SuSe 10.2) computers printing into HP printers no problems.
Also I am having problems with syslog-ng which will not start,
postfix, klogd, earlysyslog, mdnsd, ntp, nscd. Aparmor doesn't work
properly as well but I do not wary about that at this stage. Most
services fail due to segmentation fault or of course dependancy problems.

Bullshit.  The US military has tried DOZENS of U.S servicemen
for war crimes, including officers (usually the last to be
tried so as to use the testimonies of the enlisted men to
build even stronger cases against the officers).



The Milosovich witch-hunt demonstrates the danger of the international
criminal court.  Milosovich long RESISTED THE DEMANDS of the Serb
populace to go to war, even as SERBS were being slaughtered in mass
graves (which the press widely and repeatedly MIS-reported as
evidence of Serbs committing atrocities, when in fact, the Serbs
were the VICTIMS of the atrocities).

The ICC is an unelected, unaccountable body, picked by people who
themselves are not elected and therefore has ZERO accountability
to the public, and therefore no legitimacy.


Feel free to shut the fuck up until you know what the hell

  It's bad enough bounty hunters have no respect for borders and the
laws of other countries, now they can export their jurisdiction with the

Does the machine lock? --tight loop --?

When it "freezes" can you ctl-alt-F1 and get to a console?

When if freezes can you ping it?  can you ssh to it?

Actually there is a difference between a byte and an octet. A byte can be 6, 7,
8, or 9 bits. An octet is defined as an 8 bit byte. It is defined via CCITT I
think I got the telecounication standards correct.

[opensuse] Installing xen on a working machine?

[John E. Perry]

I have a recently acquired laptop, which came with Windows XP.  I
reformatted the hard drive and installed 10.2 on one partition and Xp on
another, smaller partition (I need some stuff that only runs on Windows).

So, now, I'm dual-booting, and I'd like to move to a virtual machine
environment.  I'd rather not have to reinstall everything.  I've been
watching the list postings regarding quemu, VMware, and virtualbox.

Suse supports xen directly, but no one seems to be talking about it, and
the wiki has a slot for installing a VM from a disk image, but no text
(the page is a year old, still waiting for text).  Also, the xen
documentation in /usr/share seems to imply that you need processor
support (the Intel VT extensions) to use XP under xen.  I have a Core
duo, which doesn't have these extensions.

Am I understanding correctly that I can't use xen for XP in my machine?
Are the other virtualization systems better in some important sense than
xen, or is it just that no one is interested in xen? Where can I find
suse-oriented how-to's for these other systems if it's better to go
another way (I don't have a lot of time for futzing around with
half-prepared material, but I don't mind even considerable work
preparing and setting up something that promises to work well).

Any advice? pointers to detailed help? encouragement?

I think you got it wrong... if there is more memory, programs will be able 
to use more memory, /if/ they request it. All unused memory will simply 
end up being used as cache.

If currently, with 2G, you see no swap used, increasing the ram will not 
give more memory to programs.

You can also look at the smart log of the disk. If there was an 
uncorrectable error and there was a write attempt to that sector, it will

P.S: Your mail program (Novell GroupWise Internet Agent 6.0.1) does not

another version or upgrade.

I mention this because it was only chance that I saw your answer.

You don't understand that you would have to get an agreement with the

Well, I don't have the vendor-supplied file on disk, but I got a copy from the 
net, called "hp5sips.ppd" and with a great deal of futzing around, I _think_
I installed it into cups.  The printer test printed out in 23 minutes.  This 
is not a big improvement.  I'm still waiting for a net d/l to print--it's 
only about 10 minutes now, but nothing is happening--even the start-print
light on the printer isn't blinking, so I suppose there will be no print-out 
at all.

I can't assess your statement fully coz I'm not a lawyer.

However where is the problem to take those rpm packages:
http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2/
and implement them into the distro-image? IMO it would be complient with
nvidia's licence agreement. So nvidia provides even SUSE rpms. What is
all about then? There would be no implementation into the kernel per se.
If you ask me it's more politics than law m8.

Nevertheless, personally I don't care, but IMO it ain't good for the
image of Opensuse not to provide those drivers out of the box and that's
a shame.

Cheers

"...a solution with x11vnc seems much easier to run."  Easier than
what?  ssh is very easy to run. I know your message is old, but that
comment of yours has me wondering if you've ever even tried using ssh
before?  If not, you really should familiarize yourself with ssh, as
it's a great tool for doing remote work and administering servers
remotely. Besides using ssh for remote scripting, installing production
apps, and testing end-user scenarios, it's also good for transferring
files back and forth using scp thru the ssh tunnel (which by the very
nature of ssh, the files are encrypted by the protocol before they're
sent over the connection).

RE: [opensuse] 3ware 9650se-8lpml second try

[Jack Malone]

Thanks Jef for the reply.
I have that same card as you but it do not have a slot on this motherboard
that it will fit in. It's a pci -x card. The 9650 is pci-e.  I have not gone
to any other consoles to see what is print there not sure I have a choice to
do that but I might try it tomorrow. I get the message that it can not find
updates or that it can not access updates on the media but I know the media
is readable. I made the floppy from a usb floppy drive on another pc under
windows and then moved the usb floppy to the server an tried that. I have
also copied the drivers to a cd an tried that but does not work either.  
I be interested to see if the 9550 is seen out of the box like most 3ware
cards are or not. At this point I need to find a raid card to use even if I
go to something else besides 3ware. I have one pci-e slot an one regular pci
slot free to use.

Re: [opensuse] Fwd: broadcom (??) wireless on dell latitude D810

[Danesh Daroui]

Do you have a driver CD for Windows? If yes, you will find a relevant 
folder which contains driver files for your wireless card. There you 
will fined .inf and .sys files. If you have not such CD you can download 
drivers from Broadcom web site. Once you install "ndiswrapper" (you 
should compile it) and run it it will show you how to install a driver. 
When installation is done ti will be loaded at boot time and you will 
not need to do anything else.

OK, so ndiswrapper should work, huh?

This is a freinds laptop ... he says he followed a TID from Novell for

Can I ask WHERE the *.inf and *.sys files should be copied to? Also,

If you go this route, I'd be sure that ndiswrapper gets loaded upon
boot. (Yast2->System->/etc/sysconfig

Because if you have more than 1 pc, it makes sense to have an ethernet network

Because if you have only 1 pc but more than 1 operating system, it makes sense 
to set up 1 router once
Because if you are running Linux, and you are not happy with the ADSL USB

You pay for your free USB modem in USB trouble and lack of Linux support. We

Well, there is a heap of things I would prefer opensuse to work on rather than 
providing ADSL modem support to users in Poland - where they will become more 
affluent, see sense and all buy routers within the next 3 years - so there is 
no point in wasting effort on ADSL modem support.

I know Poles are stubborn, and hold to old fashioned values, which is usually 
a good thing. But sticking to ADSL modems is not a useful national 
characteristic.

Sure you can buy those, but why when one gets an USB modem for free? ;)

Thus the question is not with what hardware is the Polish user better
off, but what share of Polish market is targeted by Opensuse or even
Novell itself? For example Mandriva suits their needs. ;)

So no wonder that most novice fellas there use AFAIK Mandriva and those
more experienced use Slackware (which AFAIK is THE Distro in Poland) or
even Gentoo. Unfortunately Opensuse ain't sexy enough for Polish users
yet. And *buntu is gaining pace on Polish market every day. I'm afraid
if Opensuse keeps sleeping too long there will be no place for them in
Poland anymore.

[opensuse] disable hw/scsi scan on boot

[Coach-X]

Is it possible to disable the hw/scsi scan on suse 10.2, or would this
cause the system not to boot?

This is related to my issue with raid/scsi drives here:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-04/msg03328.html

I believe I have isolated the problem to the scsi scan and the megaraid
driver.

A proper boot on suse 9.3 finds the raid, then processor:

<6>scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID E  254 commands 16 targs 5 chans 7 luns
<5>scsi0: scanning scsi channel 0 for logical drives.
<5>  Vendor: MegaRAID  Model: LD0 RAID5 34730R  Rev:   E

<5>  Vendor: HPModel: SAFTE; U160/M BP  Rev: 1021
<5>  Type:   Processor  ANSI SCSI revision: 02


Suse 10.2 finda the raid and then the other attached drives, no processor:

<6>scsi0 : LSI Logic MegaRAID E  254 commands 16 targs 5 chans 7 luns

How do you connect to the Internet? If you use a router, you'll need to go

Here's a command I use.  It require you to have Lynx installed.
lynx -dump http://checkip.dyndns.org|grep IP

If you want to get fancy and have a pop up box with your IP, use this

[opensuse] 3ware 9650se-8lpml second try

[Jack Malone]

Ok I have the 3ware 9650SE-8LPML raid card to go into a machine. At the
moment I cannot get suse 10.2 to see the card so that I can use it to
install to hard drives attached to it. I know that suse has drivers built
into it for 3ware cards but this card does not seem to be support as of yet.
I'm wondering if anyone else here on the list has this card and using it
with suse 10.2. What did you do to get it to work? I have had ubuntu 7.04
the, latest version that just came out, that will install onto hard drives
attached to this card with no problem. But I want to use suse on this
server. I have tried to load the driver at boot time from the install menu
by hitting F5 then saying yes and pointing it to the floppy drive to get the
driver. It just does not see the driver on the floppy for some reason. I
made the driver disk from the cd that came with the 3ware card. 
At this point I'm at a standstill. I need to get this machine up and running
ASAP. This is the first time I have had trouble using a 3ware raid card with
suse linux. 

Thanks for any help anyone can give me on this.

And when I compile anything that opens a file, it has to link to the
GPLed system library at build time too. That does not preclude me from
compiling proprietary software that issues open file requests, as the
FSF has clearly stated, so long as I do not statically link to the library.

Do you mean that kernel source winds up compiled into the driver(s)
after compilation/linkage is complete? If that is the case, then you are
probably correct; but if the nVidia source merely refers to the kernel
source for things like variables or pointers, settings, etc, this is
part of the normal operation of a device driver, and would seem to be
allowed by the exclusion Linus Torvalds inserted right above the GPL
licence.

So what? You have yet to demonstrate that the nVidia drivers are a
derivative work of the kernel.

As for all those legal opinions, who wrote them? Bruce Perens and
company? We all know where they stand; if they could get away with it,
they would probably try to claim the GPL applies to anything written by
anyone who has ever uttered the words "open source".

And as for distribution vs. possession and use, if it is unlawful for
someone to give me something, it is equally unlawful for me to receive
it and to use it. Otherwise, the RIAA and friends would have no legal
leg to stand on when they go after all the MP3 download kiddies, on this
side of The Pond or on that, for possession of "pirated" music. Under
current Canadian copyright law, that may be so, but hardly anywhere else
on the planet (though I hasten to add that case has not yet gone to
appeal, and the original trial judge might well find himself overturned
on appeal).

BTW, you almost certainly do not want to put an NFS mount point into your
/etc/fstab as something that gets mounted at startup.  It can take too long,
esp. if the host isn't available, so it is generally not thought of as a
"Good Idea" (tm). You might want to look into automounts, which will mount
something when you first try to access it.

In addition, if you have an ADSL connection you might need to look at the 
route administration page to see which address has been assigned.  I use a 
NetGear wireless hub and that uses http://192.168.0.1 from it's web based

than Canonical. Which isn't American in the first place.


This has been discussed to death. It is *impossible* for us to ship

technical reasons, but for legal reasons. Full stop.

Stop complaining here, this will lead to nothing.

 Hi John,

 I did what you suggested, and followed the detailed steps at

 did the rpm install, rebooted, black screen of death. At that point
 Ctl-Alt-F1 would not get me to a tty. Ctl-Alt-Backspace would not do

I looked thru recent posts and found one from M Harris on May 4th with a
similar black screen problem. While he has a different card than mine,
both are ati radeon. I followed his instructions about running sax
-rfirst, then

  aticongig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

But this did not fix my problem. I still get the black screen. Sax2
fails to run. Also at this point Ctl-Alt-F1 does not work, then or after
a reboot. The system is in runlevel 5, but the screen and keyboard are
frozen, don't know about the mouse as I can't see anything.

So, once again I uninstalled the rpm I made from the ati downloaded
driver, and I can now get back to kde. But something is broken now.
glxinfo or glxgears do not work. Nor does my screensaver. I get the
following message in kde when i tr to set the screensaver...

 The specified library screensaver cold not be found.
 The diagnostics is:
  /usr/lib/libGL so.1: undefined symbol: drmCloseOnce

  Possible reasons:
  - An error occurred during your last KDE updrade leaving an
orphaned control module
  - You have old third party modules lying around.

This "/usr/lib/libGL.. error is the same one I get when trying to
run glxinfo (as posted above).

So at this point I either need to get the ati driver working somehow, or
get my configuration back to the default driver and setup. I do not want
to re-install this installation, only the X configuration.

Again, I'm running a radeon 9800 pro, opensuse 10.2, xorg-x11 updated to
7.2-146.7

Any help most appreciated.

I'd use something like this:

par2 c -s1024000 -c235 -l  *

c is to create the recovery files
-s1024000 gives a recovery block size of a little under 1MB
-c235 says to create 235 recovery blocks
-l limits the size of the par2 recovery files to just a bit bigger than
the largest file.

That should create a few recovery files which, with the par2 overheads,
occupy about 235MB and leave around 15MB free. Once it's finished, and
if you're the sort of person that just has to be sure, you can verify
the freshly created files using:

par2 v 

And, if there's a failure after the contents has been burnt, copy the
contents off the DVD using either dd or ddrescue, and then use:

par2 r 


Now, the bad news is that for a dozen files, totalling a bit over 4GB,
you may not be able to rebuild a broken file with only 235 blocks
without rescuing as much data as possible from the DVD. My guess is that
the files are around 350MB[0], which means you'd need at least 350-360
recovery blocks to rebuild a completely missing file. As long as only
one file is broken, and you manage to recover more than a third of the
data, there _should_ be enough to rebuild it.

There are ways to reduce this problem, and the one I chose was to limit
the size of files to 100MB[1]. That, combined with my using 535 blocks
means I can have 5 completely unreadable files before I am unable to
recover. And when I want to recombine the split files, I just use cat
:-)


[0] After rounding to the nearest MB:
4.35GB - 250MB = 4.1GB
4.1GB / 12 = 350MB

[1] split -b 100M -a 3 -d  .
   ^
That is to allow creation of names in the format filename.000,
filename.001, etc.

This printer is listed as 100% working on the Linux Printing website.

Take the CD that came with your printer, identify the PPD file 
there and use it for CUPS. Alternatively, get the Windows printer 
driver from the HP Web site, and extract the PPD file from there.


All problems that I had in 9.x with that printer went away 
afterwards. I don't know if there are any problems in 10.x, since I 
continue to use the vendor-supplied PPD file.

This is the original problem: the hard disk has one unreadable sector, 
detected by SMART. You can use smartctl to learn more about it. It is 
possible for the hardware to remap that sector; this is triggered by a 
write to it, but meanwhile the raid has redirected that sector to another 
mirror.

I would run a full disk diagnostic using smartctl.

The definition varies acording to who makes them. One definition could be 
the smallest group of bits the CPU adresses at a time; in modern computers 
that is 8 bits.

for instance:

- From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

  byte
   n : a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of
   alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of
   information

- From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  byte
   
   /bi:t/ (B) A component in the machine {data hierarchy}
  usually larger than a {bit} and smaller than a {word}; now
  most often eight bits and the smallest addressable unit of
  storage.  A byte typically holds one {character}.

   A byte may be 9 bits on 36-bit computers.  Some older
  architectures used "byte" for quantities of 6 or 7 bits, and
  the PDP-10 and IBM 7030 supported "bytes" that were actually
  {bit-fields} of 1 to 36 (or 64) bits!  These usages are now
  obsolete, and even 9-bit bytes have become rare in the general
  trend toward power-of-2 word sizes.
   
  The term was coined by Werner Buchholz in 1956 during the
  early design phase for the {IBM} {Stretch} computer.  It was a
  mutation of the word "bite" intended to avoid confusion with
  "bit".  In 1962 he described it as "a group of bits used to
  encode a character, or the number of bits transmitted in
  parallel to and from input-output units".  The move to an
  8-bit byte happened in late 1956, and this size was later
  adopted and promulgated as a standard by the {System/360}
  {operating system} (announced April 1964).
 

  James S. Jones <> adds:
   
  I am sure I read in a mid-1970's brochure by IBM that outlined
  the history of computers that BYTE was an acronym that stood
  for "Bit asYnchronous Transmission E__?__" which related to
  width of the bus between the Stretch CPU and its CRT-memory
  (prior to Core).

  Terry Carr <> says:
   
  In the early days IBM taught that a series of bits transferred
  together (like so many yoked oxen) formed a Binary Yoked
  Transfer Element (BYTE).

I have a MacBook with a Core2 Duo and openSUSE 10.2. Which 2.6.21 kernel is 
the best to use? Factory? OpenSUSE 10.3 kernel? Latest stable?

I looked at it the current 10.3 but the known problems are too many for a 
production laptop.

I have two hard discs, I will use the old one when I have the time. The
biggest problem is suspend and frequency scaling, are they easy backportable
to openSUSE 10.2? Installation of openSUSE 10.2 worked fine.

It had to be said. I worked on the Burroughs B1700 which has a
1bit word; it was bit addressable and as a soft machine the programmer
could select whatever virtual word length they liked.  I remember the
other LISP team changing from 22 to 23 bits one day.  There was an
advantage to 24 bit virtual words, but at its heart it was a 1bit machine.

This is an artifact of Microsoft's brilliant choices.  Windows was
shipped with the registry setting for Large Drive Support turned
off... thus the 127 GB limitation.  You could get around this by
changing the registry setting, thereby enabling you to format a single
partition larger than 127 GB or you could install Linux which
didn't have this brain dead setting, and is not limited by BIOS
knowledge of drives over a predetermined size. :-)  I have no idea if
this is still an issue with XP SP2.

Windows only supports creating FAT32 partitions up to 32GB (although
they can read/write FAT32 partitions over 32GB)

FAT32 has a file size limitation... you cannot write a single file
larger than 4GB... so your 8GB double layer DVD ISOs cannot be stored
on a FAT32 partition.

Hi all, this is my first post to this list.

I have a problem with an HP - opensuse 10.1 installed pc
Since the initial install I can see in the messages log:

and so on.
I tried to boot the pc in failsafe mode (acpi?off,apm=off), with NO
differences at all, connecting or disconnecting keyboard (no mouse ever
present) 

I would like to know if anybody had any suggestion to troubleshoot this
situation.
I also prepared a "post a support query" via yast, but I am not able to
undertannd where to post this support.txt file.

Other data:

There are a couple of ways.  One is to use profiles.  The other is to
create scripts that shut down the NIC, and restart it with the new config.

NetworkManager can't handle static IPs, and definitely not >1.

SCPM - YaST->System->Profile Manager.  Set up each board member's house as a 
different profile, then you can have several configs for the same card.

Many microprocessors are 4 bit, when used for such things as calculators
etc., that don't need 8 bits.  The very first microprocessor, the Intel
4004 was 4 bits.  The 8 bit CPU's also have an 8 bit word.

They seem to be quite common.

This is the way to go, I think. All of the board members need to configure 
their routers to enable the DHCP server for a part of their subnet range, 
even if they keep their own installations statically allocated [outside the 
DHCP range].

Or 2 could be OK. It works to have a network card configured for DHCP, with an 
additional fixed address [maybe more fixed addresses?], but if internet is 
required static router addresses may well not play with DHCP router 
addresses.

How, different? Wireless, wired ,dialup, or mobile phone. DSL, Cable or
 ISDN. NAT, subnetted, routed or direct.

BTW Address management should not be a major problem if everyone is on a
common NAT subnet behind a routing modem. Most commonly used is
192.168.0.xx and a single static address may work for everyone,
specifying the routing/modem device (usually 192.168.0.1) as the DNS
should sort DNS issues out. (I have come across consumer devices using
192.168.1.xx). There is nothing wrong with using static addresses on a
DHCP managed network provided one takes steps to avoid clashing with any
dynamically loaded address space. The only potential problem is the
specification of SMTP servers for mail.

If you have a mix of wired and wireless connection set the network to
load on connection detected.

The first thing I would do is collect information on all the connection
locations and connection types then identify common features and try
reduce the number of connection specifications. If you are really lucky
you will end with only one.

Hi Fazer

In Western Europe, we probably started using ADSL several years before you, 
when there was even less support, and only on 32 bit. Most people use 
ethernet ADSL routers for Linux, so there has never been very much pressure 
to support ppp, atm or anyother ADSL specific protocol- it is all handled 
under ethernet support which is very mature.

The other advantage is that you set up your router once and if you have other 
computers or dual boot into windows or other linux distributions, then you 
only need to set up the ethernet interface to get access to the internet. 
ADSL modems are just a headache, requiring maintenance of the drivers to 
track the kernel. ["I can't upgrade to kernel version 2.8... because the ADSL 
modem drivers don't work"].

In Poland can you buy and use ADSL routers?

Wouldn't it be better to test the ring for latency or TTL?

Just measure a wget download of a specific file from varous sources and
choose the one with the lowest latency. This can be done in 50 
lines of scripting. The testing time is saved by the first download.

[opensuse] choice between several networks

[jdd]

Hello,

I'm configuring a laptop for an association. This machine need to be 
usable from any house of the board members, with different ethernet 
connections.


So I need to switch easily (without root access) between dhcp or 
several fixed IP.


I initially thinked I could do this with networks manager, but it 
seems to have only a switch between modem and ethernet.


I can't (in yast) have several configs for the same (pcmcia, perfectly 
wotking) card


any idea?
Thanks

You can of course change the server later on, in the "Installation Source"
module.

Hi,

I don't think this is OT at all.  If update server addresses are dished
out in a round-robin fashion this might distribute the load, but is far
from optimal.  Surely there is a more intelligent method based on the
originating IP range?  If web servers can generate country-specific
statistics then this should be possible.

Does /mnt/folder already exist?

I think this needs to be present if the folder is to be mounted on start up?

Get real, Benji. With this kind of logic, it would be a violation of the
GPL whenever any proprietary software issued an "open file" request to
the GPLed system.


No the shim links to gpled kernel at build time.


I did just what you suggested, and found several questions which are
useful in discerning the /intent/ of the GPL, which is all any court
will be interested in:


Q. If I port my program to GNU/Linux, does that mean I have to release
it as Free Software under the GPL or some other Free Software license?

In general, the answer is no--this is not a legal requirement. In
specific, the answer depends on which libraries you want to use and
what their licenses are. Most system libraries either use the GNU
Lesser GPL, or use the GNU GPL plus an exception permitting linking
the library with anything. These libraries can be used in non-free
programs; but in the case of the Lesser GPL, it does have some
requirements you must follow.

(my comment: Thus the authors of the GPL specifically anticipate the use
of GPLed system functions by non-GPLed software, including proprietary
software. Other provisions of the GPL would seem to suggest that any
non-GPL software may not be statically linked to such libraries, but
nothing prohibits dynamic linking.)

This question specifically addresses the issue of dynamic linking, and
needs no further comment:

Q. Does the libstdc++ exception permit dynamic linking?

Yes. The intent of the exception is to allow people to compile
proprietary software using gcc.


This is a specific exception, it has no bearing.


Q. Can I use GPL-covered editors such as GNU Emacs to develop non-free
programs? Can I use GPL-covered tools such as GCC to compile them?

Yes, because the copyright on the editors and tools does not cover
the code you write. Using them does not place any restrictions,
legally, on the license you use for your code.

(my comment: In the past, I have seen some suggestions that compiling
non-GPL code with GCC is a licence violation. This clearly says it is not.)

These two questions are sufficient to determine the intent of the GPL
with respect to non-GPL software running on the system, which includes
proprietary installable kernel modules.


Proprietary installable kernel modules are rather different to either
of these examples.


It is clear that the GPL is not so restrictive as to prohibit
communication between the GPLed system and non-GPL applications,
including device drivers. If it were so restrictive, it would become
impossible to run any non-GPL software on the system, which would be an
unfair trade practice under anyone's laws.


Communication is not the same thing as the shim linking to the kernel.


So long as the distributed binary does not /contain/ any code which is
covered under the GPL, nothing in the GPL requires it to be released
under that licence (or not at all). In particular, nothing prohibits
that binary from communicating with any part of the system, including
the kernel. If it did contain such a prohibition, the licence would be
so restrictive and internally contradictory as to be rendered meaningless.


This is why libraries are often made lgpl, kernel is GPL and the
non-gpl shim links to it at compiletime, have a look at the sources of
the shim. If the shim were made GPL perhaps it would be a more grey
area. The shim's sources are available, but look at the licence
headers on the files, it is nowhere near GPL.


>  GPL only applies to distribution.

Umm, no, it does not.


"5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. "

Nothing in the GPL restricts /use/ of a program. So people can use the
nvidia drivers all they want, only the redistribution is illegal.

Even if you were correct your opinion differs from that of several
kernel developers who have received legal advice on the matter, and it
would be those who would be taking legal action.

So what's the problem?
The internet is not measured in miles.

I (living in Alaska) often choose a server in Germany over one in
my same timezone, because most people in Germany are asleep
when I am awake, and their servers and bandwidth are less
