Sound issue: Configured audiosink bin1 is not working
by Lakshmipathi.G 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Hi - On my fedora 12 machine sound system not working properly. Its not a problem with system.(If i boot into win 7 its works fine there) when i try to play from mplayer it says "Configured audiosink bin1 is not working". I think i removed something. - here is some error on dbus from pulseaudio log W: main.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Becoming a Fedora package maintainer, easier than ever
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi Just a heads up for anyone not reading devel-announce list or missed the implication of the announcement. A recent change was announced in http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/00075… Instead of having to submit your own package for review and prove your expertise by reviewing other packages and so on, there is a easier way now. You can become a co-maintainer by agreeing to be mentored by any existing package maintainer and one of the sponsors will sponsor you based on this agreement to work together. I tried this method and recently Christopher Smart became a co-maintainer to deja-dup and pushed a few updates already via this method (afaik the first person to do so). It took only two or three days of discussions (admittedly a lot of them) for the whole process. All of the existing Fedora package maintainers, interested in getting people to participate can follow the recently documented policy and I would be happy to mentor anyone interested as well. Rahul

Local Dictionary Server
by Sawrub 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hello All, I just came across a blog [1] that mentioned about the off-line dictionary setup in Ubuntu. I tried doing similar in Fedora but failed. So the point for which I'm here looking for help is that though I've been able to 'yum install wordnet dictd', and I'm able to query wordnet [2] in its graphical window using #wnb but when i'm trying to start my local dict daemon so as to map wordnet under gnome-dictionary its fails simply saying that 'no dictionaries installed'. ---------------------------------------------- $ sudo service dictd restart Shutting down dictd: [FAILED] Starting dictd: no dictionaries installed [FAILED] $ ---------------------------------------------- I have googled a bit but have not been able to find a solution. Also came across [3] but that to didn't helped as the server is not coming up. Though the client side of dict is working for me [4]. Any help that makes this work would be great.
