lost sound subsystem again
by Mike Park 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hi there, Has anyone experienced losing their sound subsystem from an update in the last couple of days? By verifying loss of sound subsystem, I checked by: - going into 'System Settings' -> 'Multimedia' -> 'Audio Output' -> <any entry> - selecting the only non-greyed out selection-item on the right (titled 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo' for me) - selecting 'Test' result: no output 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' produces only a message about 'ratelimit.c' coming from pulseaudio as I hit the 'Test' button in each entry under 'Audio Output': Apr 19 11:28:22 bart pulseaudio[28281]: ratelimit.c: 294 events suppressed Apr 19 11:29:04 bart pulseaudio[28281]: ratelimit.c: 319 events suppressed Apr 19 11:29:55 bart pulseaudio[28281]: ratelimit.c: 305 events suppressed Apr 19 11:45:02 bart pulseaudio[28281]: ratelimit.c: 207 events suppressed Apr 19 11:45:33 bart pulseaudio[28281]: ratelimit.c: 258 events suppressed Before I go downgrading my packages, I thought I'd see if anyone else on this list has experienced the same and can pinpoint the problem package faster. ------------- inotify-tools-3.13-3.fc12 Sat Apr 17 16:34:41 2010 kdm-4.4.2-5.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:28:43 2010 kdebase-workspace-python-applet-4.4.2-5.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:28:43 2010 kdebase-workspace-4.4.2-5.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:28:41 2010 libgudev1-145-20.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:28:36 2010 kdebase-workspace-libs-4.4.2-5.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:28:36 2010 kernel-2.6.32.11-102.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:52 2010 libudev-145-20.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:47 2010 kernel-headers-2.6.32.11-102.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:46 2010 perf-2.6.32.11-102.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:45 2010 kernel-devel-2.6.32.11-102.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:43 2010 policycoreutils-gui-2.0.82-4.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:34 2010 gdb-7.0.1-44.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:34 2010 numpy-1.3.0-7.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:32 2010 udev-145-20.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:28 2010 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.6-3.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:27 2010 kernel-firmware-2.6.32.11-102.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:26 2010 xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.6-3.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:00 2010 policycoreutils-python-2.0.82-4.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:27:00 2010 policycoreutils-2.0.82-4.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:26:59 2010 libgudev1-145-20.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:26:57 2010 ksysguardd-4.4.2-5.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:26:57 2010 libudev-145-20.fc12 Thu Apr 15 13:26:55 2010 util-linux-ng-2.16.2-9.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:22 2010 libuuid-2.16.2-9.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:21 2010 xscreensaver-extras-5.11-1.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:20 2010 xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.11-1.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:18 2010 gthumb-2.10.11-9.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:10 2010 xscreensaver-gl-base-5.11-1.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:08 2010 xscreensaver-base-5.11-1.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:06 2010 libuuid-2.16.2-9.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:05 2010 libblkid-2.16.2-9.fc12 Wed Apr 14 11:47:05 2010 kdelibs-4.4.2-2.fc12 Tue Apr 13 19:11:13 2010 kdelibs-common-4.4.2-2.fc12 Tue Apr 13 19:11:02 2010 nss-tools-3.12.6-4.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:31 2010 nss-3.12.6-4.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:30 2010 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.3.3-1.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:29 2010 nss-sysinit-3.12.6-4.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:28 2010 nss-3.12.6-4.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:28 2010 ibus-pinyin-1.3.2-1.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:28 2010 ibus-pinyin-open-phrase-1.3.2-1.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:27 2010 lirc-libs-0.8.6-6.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:23 2010 libdrm-2.4.18-2.fc12 Tue Apr 13 12:21:22 2010 taglib-1.6.2-2.fc12 Mon Apr 12 20:24:55 2010 pdfedit-0.4.3-4.fc12 Mon Apr 12 18:36:22 2010 t1lib-5.1.2-5.fc12 Mon Apr 12 18:36:21 2010 ------------- Any suggestions welcome.

Fwd: RE: [Ilg] Installing xf86-video-intel-2.10
by Anne Wilson 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

My new laptop has the i915 video chipset, which doesn't work with the Fedora- included Intel driver, so I tried to install the latest driver. When I couldn't get a result from that I forwarded the log file to Intel and asked for help - incidentally, I'm impressed. I asked yesterday early evening and when I logged in this morning I had a reply. The bug report how-to linked below is to file a bug to freedesktop.org - and frankly looks scarey in the amount of digging it seems to require. However, in view of the answer below, I wonder if it's more appropriate anyway to file a Fedora bug? And what does he mean by the 'kernel config file'?

It indicates the kernel doesn't support the this new hardware. But I think Fedora 12 kernel should have supported it. Please file a file according to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html. Remember attach dmesg output. Better attach kernel config file.

Nepomuk/Strigi issue(?): files re-indexed after reboot
by Steven P. Ulrick 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hello Everyone I apologize if this has already been covered. If it has, I haven't seen it. My issue is that I rebooted my Fedora 12 system recently. Nepomuk started up just like it is supposed to. Unfortunately, the Nepomuk status window said that something like 6,000 to 7,000 files had been indexed. I checked my music collection, and sure enough, the mp3's that I checked were not showing metadata in the expected location in Dolphin. So, it looks like for some reason, Nepomuk started re-indexing my files. That was the bad part. This is a kind of odd part: before I had over 25,000 files indexed, and the size of my Nepomuk Store was 3.2 GiB. So, I rebooted, Nepomuk started re-indexing my files, BUT the Store size was still 3.2 GiB. So I "assume" that my database had not been destroyed, but Nepomuk just started re-indexing my files for some reason... Also, like I said earlier, the metadata that had been displayed in Dolphin before I rebooted was gone after I booted back up. But, my Store size was still the same... Anyway, has anyone else had this issue? I will attempt to look for bug reports to attach my comments to. If I don't find any, please let me know the exact component to file this particular issue under. Steven P. Ulrick

So, I don't think I said 'hardcoded'. I don't care how hard or soft you code it. The point is that it should be the responsibility of the desktop environment to ensure that a polkit agent is available, not the responsibility of individual apps or of polkit itself. For GNOME, I'll simply move the polkit-gnome-authentication-agent autostart file from polkit-gnome to gnome-session. (gdm already ships its own autostart file for the login session). > > But other question is - what about desktops without own > > polkit or even standalone wms? Another point is autostart desktop file - if the > > agent is going to be started by autostart desktop file, this autostart belongs > > to agent and should be distributed together in the agent package. > > +1 No. Again, the responsibility for starting the agent lies with the desktop, not with polkit. I frankly don't care if you 'build your own desktop'. In that case, your favourite polkit agent is just one more thing to throw in your .Xclients file.

I had added all my favorites (knode, kmail, etc) to my panel. Today's 'stable' update to kdebase-4.4.2-1.fc12.x86_64 removed all my kde icons (chrome was not removed)

phonon-backend-vlc for testing
by Rex Dieter 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

some initial experimental vlc/phonon-backend-vlc (snapshot) packages are available in f12/f13 unstable repos. Enjoy. I've also got srpm copies of these at http://rdieter.fedorapeople.org/rpms/vlc/ for you hackers out there. Next task is to work on splitting vlc into fedora'able and patent-encumbered/rpmfusion parts. I'll be trying to catch kwizart over the weekend to try to coordinate efforts and get things into official repos asap. -- Rex

Krunner gotten sticky with the last two release
by Arthur Pemberton 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Is this because I am using F11 still? Because it feels like my KDE desktop is falling apart. Krunner has gotten very slow (relative to its previous performance two udpates ago). And annoyingly it loads open window entries before app launcher entries So it is now quicker to go the Favourites menu and click on kwrite than to Alt+F2, type kwrite and launch a new instance... and that's when it works. Othertime it seems to be blocking on something, which is weird since it definitely loads the results asynchronously. Just while writing this email, I stuck krunner by doing the follow: = =20 4 =20 * 4 =20 x 4 And when it is stuck, it obscures the potion of the screen it's over till seconds or minutes later it catches up. -- Fedora 11 (www.pembo13.com)

Unable to automatically set time
by John Aldrich 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

When I attempt to enable the automatic time setting, it will let me get as far as setting the NTP server I want to use, but then it comes up and gives me an error that it can't contact the NTP server. Any suggestions? I *am* behind a DSL router, and if need be, I can put an exception in the firewall to allow NTP, but I shouldn't need to as I think it allows anything *outbound* and restricts *inbound* connections.
