ALSA drivers - Intel HD Audio
by Mister Ribbit 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

I have the new Intel HD Audio on board my Intel D915GEV motherboard, and I'm trying to get it working. I think I can do it if I compile the driver that Intel supplies on their web page, but they say that the driver has been handed off to the ALSA project, and I've found it in the alsa-driver 1.0.6 package (but not 1.0.5). I was wondering if FC3 would ship with an updated kernel to have the 1.0.6 driver (or the new 1.0.6a) so that it would be working straight out of the box in the future. Or, maybe you are on that set of drivers, and somehow have lost the azx driver for this hardware. Thanks! Ciao! Ryan

Didn't get answer
by Andrius 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hello, I didn't get answer to my question. Is it problem unclear or unknown? In installation process of Fedora Core 3 test 2 for AMD64 I got such bug message "Bug: Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed." (after keyboard configuration). If I press cancel I can go through other steps, but when I got the same message when it is time to copy packages to disk and installation stops.

Re: yum not updating fc3t1 to fc3t2

Already running this as su.

Unable to get the CD Database to work identifying audio CD's
by Brian Craft 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I'm running FC3 Test 2 and can't get the Gnome CD player (CD Player 2.8.0) and the CD Database to work together. The audio cd's work fine, but it won't go out and grab the information about the audio cd. Any idea's or anyone else having the same problem? -- Brian Craft Linux Counter id: 97873 Linux......the OS of Choice!

Kmail 1.7 problem
by Thomas Taylor 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi All: Kmail 1.7 (Using KDE 3.3.0-2 Red Hat) Fedora Core 3 test 2 kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp Since I'm using a test distro I'll also send this to FC-test list. Once I managed to get the configuration setup correctly the program works fine as far as up/downloading mail. The problem I've encountered is in trying to change the headers view. Under the 'View' menu, the headers item is grayed out and there is no way to go into 'Settings-Kmail' and change the type of headers to display (long, fancy, standard, etc). To try to bypass this lack, I tried 'Settings-Configure Toolbars', adding "Show All message headers" and "Show long list of message headers" to the toolbar. The first time I clicked on "Show all message headers", it seemed to work properly, expanding the header list from "long headers" to "all headers". The problem presents when I clicked on "Show long message headers" and received a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) message and the program bombed. I'm attaching the backtrace log for review. Ever since that change I have been stuck in the "show all headers" mode. Any time I try to change it results in the signal 11 message and the program bombs. Should I try reloading just Kmail, all KDE, or ??

Fedora Core 2 Test Update: gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1
by Nils Philippsen 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2004-328 2004-09-30 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 2 Name : gimp Version : 2.0.5 Release : 0.fc2.1 Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program Description : The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo. The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sun Sep 26 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - rebuild for FC2 - don't run/require update-desktop-databases as it doesn't exist - don't buildrequire libwmf-devel - fix post/postun requirements * Sat Sep 25 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - version 2.0.5 * Thu Sep 16 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - rename desktop title (#132548) * Thu Aug 26 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - add MimeType to desktop file - run update-desktop-database in %post/%postun - don't make stunts with -32 or -64 postfixed binaries anymore - require /sbin/ldconfig and /usr/bin/update-desktop-database * Tue Aug 10 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - build requires libwmf-devel * Fri Aug 06 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - version 2.0.4 * Wed Aug 04 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - rebuild to pick up new libcroco * Thu Jul 22 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - version 2.0.3 - buildreq gtk2-devel >= 2.4.0 - use -32 or -64 postfixed binaries if available * Fri Jul 02 2004 Nils Philippsen <nphilipp(a)redhat.com> - use included desktop (#126723), application-registry, mime-info and icon files - remove perl cruft (Gimp-Perl is an external package now) - further spec file cleaning --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/2/ 836cbe9f0b6624a56e691c0dd03447ce SRPMS/gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.src.rpm ad0705c1cd150bdc65de126aae5e7d04 x86_64/gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.x86_64.rpm 2cccb7b4466c7bd7bce3d387e62f1c45 x86_64/gimp-devel-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.x86_64.rpm 10b9211648506c8fb1652d3dbc6b394f x86_64/debug/gimp-debuginfo-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.x86_64.rpm 569a4102857a8d281a274980bcfafb2b i386/gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.i386.rpm 65b0c644f626c9581b81f8d216840c3d i386/gimp-devel-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.i386.rpm 38b74f1e9a8c162d8df141f578deed5c i386/debug/gimp-debuginfo-2.0.5-0.fc2.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.

On the edge and bleeding heavily.
by john brennan-sardou 30 Sep '04

Good evening everybody, Just trying to install fc3 test2 by a dvd iso and it does not work. Simply because after booting and asking what language and keyboard I have fc3 refuses to recognise the dvd reader or the dvd copier which are on my system. Funny enough it seems to have recognised them at the beginning in order to boot. It keeps asking for the cd. Tough I only have dvd units on my system. Any ideas please? John Brennan-Sardou.

Upgrading Evolution 1.4 to 2.0
by Leon Stringer 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi, A colleague previously running FC2 has tried upgrading to FC3t2. Since no GRUB entry was made for FC3t2 during the install process (only Win2000 was listed, the newly installed FC3t2 was not accessible!) she tried a new install erasing the FC2 partition. She had backups of her ~/evolution folder and wants to migrate the mail to Evolution 2 (having updated the shipped package to 2.0). The ~/evolution folder is copied to the user directory, Evolution starts and appears to ignore this folder. Has anyone been able to migrate their Evolution mail folders to 2.0 this way? I can't find any documentation on this. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132878#c7 reports the GRUB issue. I realize I could have update grub.conf but couldn't be bothered to work out the entry). Thanks in advance, Leon...

Worst experience with Up2Date ever.
by Rodd Clarkson 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I'm having real problems with up2date since upgrading from FC2 to FC3t2. There was the usual flood of new packages after the release of FC3t2 and up2date seemed to be totally incapable of downloading them and installing. Worse, up2date would show that packages needed to be installed, but couldn't find them when asked to update them, or would show nothing needing to be updated when there were over 175 packages needing updating. The icon in the notification area is currently displaying as red and shows that 55 packages need updating, but if I click on the icon and then click Launch up2date (which shows 55 packages needing updates) and then click through, up2date says my system is up to date (it isn't) It's trying to use yum channel fedora-core-rawhide from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/ for the updates.
