Problem in opening few sites in firefox 3.5.8 (F12)
by Ayush Maheshwari
Hello all,
I'm using fedora 12 & firefox 3.5.8 . I'm having problem in opening sites
like
castrol.com, iitr.ac.in, wordpress.com, etcetra .
Firefox resolves the DNS but waits infinitely for the data to be
transferred.
Somebody on IRC (#fedora) told me to change the DNS, which i don't think is
a culprit. Nevertheless, i tried google public DNS, Norton DNS, open DNS as
well as my ISP's DNS.
The same problem was encountered with Ubuntu 9.04 but Mandriva '08 loads it
well.
Pinging can be done on the aforesaid sites, but as expected wget doesn't
work for any of those.
Your suggestions would be helpful.
Regards,
Ayush

Fedora 13 Pulse Audio issue.
by Nirmal Pathak
Hi,
I'm facing awful pulseaudio issue on my newly installed Fedora 13 in
which no video/music player is able to run flawlessly more than 5-10
minutes. The media playing stops with error "pa_stream_writable_size()
failed: Connection terminated". See BZ # 587286
I'm not even able to play any locally stored media on the system.
Is there any workaround to overcome this issue?
Have FuN!
