I was fully updated yesterday. Today, the mirrors seem broken;-(
I'm using KDE desktop, and sound does not work on my HP DC7000 SFF.
Except that when I choose K/Administration/Sound card detection, it works very well.
I've been playing with Control Center (kcontrol). The first time, I chose it from the KDE menu, and when I chose sound, it locked up and had to be terminated with force.
Subsequently I've run it from within konsole, and it does not lock up, but it doesn't play sound either.
I do get an artsmessage, to the effect "Sound system informational message" (yeah right, "does not work" is informational?) "Error while initialising the sound driver" "device: default cannot be opened for playback (connection refused)" "The sound system will continue, using the null device."
Further testing: Autodetect doesn't. OSS works. ALSA does not. ESD does not.
Is this something I should mention to BZ?

Either erase pulseaudio and pulseaudio-plugins-alsa, or install kde-settings-pulseaudio.

I'd prefer to have this work, so install kde-settings-pulseaudio, but I don't see such a package.

What is the yum repository settings in /etc/yum.repos.d. Have you enabled the development repository? If you can't figure it out, you can download it from http://koji.fedoraproject.org

I haven't changed anything, I'm trying to be a dumb user;-) If I futz around to make it work, it doesn't help others much. If we can figure what's wrong, then it might get fixed properly.
Er, why would it be in the development repo? I'm not building software.

That goes to show why I haven't seen any updates these past few days.

There really isn't anything to fix. The software is available in the repository and many others have confirmed it. Feel feel to use a different mirror and run yum clean all to refresh it.
Er, why would it be in the development repo? I'm not building software.
Test 3 is a snapshot from the development repository aka rawhide. When you install and run yum update you need to have the development repository enabled.

Well, not all the software one needs was available from the install sources. What I'm running is, as I understand it, what's proposed to F8.
What repos should I enable _now_ to upgrade to what's in the latest f8 proposal?

Enable fedora and updates-released. Make sure you're using the mirror list and it'll point you to the correct repos. This will "pin" you to Fedora 8, and once it's released it will keep you getting F8 updates.

As I mentioned to Rahul, I've not changed the config files since I installed, they're standard.
I don't have an updates-released, though I do have updates and update-testing:

updates-testing is not to be enabled at this point. Only updates.
Likely mirrormanager is handing you an out of date mirror :/
