F11 Anaconda Options?
by Allen Kistler 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options lists the options that are current up through, I suppose, F10. Is there a list of the options for F11? I ask mostly because I'm trying to feed the version of anaconda on the beta DVD options like "lowres" or "resolution=1024x768" without the quotes, of course, but also without success.

problem using new volume control
by Adrin Jalali 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

hi, the new volume control misses many old one features. I can not set my pci volume with it and I should use alsamixer -c 0 to do that. I think it's not preferred for end user. Also I can not change my microphone device with even alsamixer -c 0. my laptop has 2 microphone inputs. How can I change it? Are these features supposed to be added to this volume control? If not, how can I install the old one? Best, Adrin.

Adding a comment without clearing needinfo?
by Bruno Wolff III 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

A long time ago when you updated a bug that had a needinfo request there was a checkbox you could uncheck if you didn't want the needinfo flag cleared. I had the situation come up today and wasn't sure how to easily do that. I ended up having to just make a new needinfo request from myself, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. A quick google search didn't show anything with obvious up to date instructions for Fedora, but maybe I didn't search for the right set of keywords.

Hi! I have a wav file with DVI ADPCM codec and when I want to open it with totem, but I got missing codec. The thing is if I open it with mplayer it's works great! Is it a bug of the detection of totem ?? Salu2... masch...

KDE ---no screensaver set, only dpms option set to blank screen in 2 minutes
by Antonio Olivares 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Dear fellow fedora testers, I have a question particularly to KDE users. I have several machines running rawhide two of them which I let my students use in the classroom. Both machines run KDE on for them. It has been a while since I asked, but I will ask again. This has to be a bug, I have thought about it for a while, but have been hesitant to file it(could be dismissed quickly since others might not see this or this only happens to me :(; ). The machine has no screensaver running I selected to not run a screensaver, this works. I set the Energy Savings Feature to blank the screen after two minutes, this works fine. However after a few minutes the screen locks up and asks for a password, (I did not set any sceensaver up and it does this since a while), why does it does this? I asked it not to do this in the screensaver(turned it off) and it comes up. It is annoying(for the students) to have to enter the password to get the screen back up. They decided to watch a movie and were watching a movie and for a good while it was working well, then all of a sudden the screen blanks and locks up and asks for a password. One machine has no xorg.conf and runs with nvidia onboard graphics and the other one with ATI video card uses default radeon that comes with Fedora and it has been working great no complains. Is there anything that I can do to turn that behavior off? (the desktop locking up and asking for password). Thanks in Advance, Antonio

FWIW, this is also off topic for fedora-test-list, as it is about Fedora 10 with no testing updates. Please post your questions to the fedora-list. Kevin Kofler

Pidgin Freezes When Attempting To Enter AIM Password

Pidgin (aka Applications --> Internet --> Internet Messenger) on x86_64 freezes up before I can complete entering my AIM password. I ran it with the -d flag and get these messages.

Fedora-10 nightmare update2
by Arne Chr. Jorgensen 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

hi, I did describe noise/glitches on the screen. I will try to describe it a little bit: --------------------------------------- It is like an old CRT with a weak high voltage supply - the screen may shrink or expand. And there are noise streaks across the screen. As this is a laptop with LCD, it has to do with updating of the screen. Loading is typical if you open a folder on the screen, and it will update/paint to the screen. In such cases the shrinking/expansion may be 20-40 mm for a brief half second or so. Sometimes leaving a horizontal band for in the middle. The reason: ----------- The "new" cpu scaling can not keep up. I have it set to "on-demand". 800MHz - worst, as described above. 1600MHz - very improved, the shrinking/expanding is only 5-10 mm 1800MHz - the effect seem gone. 2000MHz - have not seen any noise/glitches. Discussion: ----------- Watching the System Monitor, the graphs are smooth, the loading on CPU1 and CPU2 seem nice compared to earlier kernels with abrupt switching from one to the other. The "new" scaling algorithm have at dropped CPU temperature with more then 10 degree centigrade. For a couple of years of running Linux, you could not keep your hand against the underside of the machine for any long time. And you would burn yourself if holding your hand close to the ventilation port. I have never checked with AMD what cores temperatures would be reasonable, but above 70 centigrade was not uncommon. As I write, the CPU is running at 800MHz and the CPU temp is 55 centigrade. I would rather live with some noise/glitches on the screen and keep the temperature down. For a couple of years, I have almost never been running without power attached, as you run out of battery power within an hour ?? ( have no good figure on this ) The computer behaves somewhat closer to how it is running Microsoft Vista, yet I have never seen glitches and noise there. But the lesser loading, the fan speed and temperature is much more close to each other. To remove noise on the screen, perhaps a sharper controller term could be used, at the cost of the more smooth behaviour it has now. Perhaps the refresh of the screen could be held off/protected during scheduling. I don't know. Knowing some reasons for this and if need be, just enable a higher prosessor speed, works for me. //ARNE

Rawhide coming together today.
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Sunday's Rawhide rsync'd and pxeboot installed without a hitch. I did have one crash giving an init 3. I suspect init 3 is more likely to crash if appa are open beyond the obvious console. The 32 bit libs and dev files needed for xlinrad installed without complaint (alas, without progress idsplay either). It is still a disappointment that Firefox does not support Flash out of the box. Nowadays Flash is almost as much a part of the internet as is HTML. (OK I exaggerate, but not that much.) Gnome still doesn't seem to have a way to run the sound mixer. I like the KDE solution but had enough time with KDE to get used to KDE generally. Including Xfce in the install provides a working mixer. But this is something that should "just work" just as Flash should "just work". Other than these issues, Rawhide seems to be coming along. Good job. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665
