PulseAudio in-/output device confusion
by Petrus de Calguarium 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Output devices: PulseAudio Default HDA Intel PulseAudio Sound Server Input devices: PulseAudio Sound Server Default HDA Intel Voilà the devices present on my system and the order of preference for each of in-/output devices. My question: Is this the optimal ordering for PulseAudio for each of in-/output? And why does output have both PulseAudio and PulseAudio Sound Server (is one a vestigial rudiment of an earlier release)? The reason I would like to finally understand this is that I have 2 computers (desk- and laptop) and the priority of preference is often different, or sometimes my laptop tells me that such and such a device does not exist and asks whether I would like to remove it, etc. Often it tells me that PulseAudio is not working, so it will default to PulseAudio Sound Server. Huh? Yes, I see that there are 2 entries, but this is all very, very confusing and I just want to know what the intended order of all these devices is supposed to be, from the perspective of someone who wants to use PulseAudio correctly to achieve optimal sound without glitches and hitches, etc.

How would I install the flash player from an F12-KDE daily release ?
by linux guy 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

I am thinking of buying a netbook for a project I am working on. I need to find out (in the store) if they have enough grunt to play a YouTube video or a 720 or 1080 HD video file. Some of the netbook processors and video cards are relatively new. Because of this, I need to test them with the F12 live release rather than the early F11 KDE release. Is there an F11-KDE respin live release that includes all of the most recent updates ? If I am running an F12 KDE daily release, how would I go about installing the flash player given that the flash components don't appear to be in the F12 repositories ? Thanks

qt-4.6.0-beta1 coming to kde/unstable
by Rex Dieter 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Just a heads up, qt-4.6.0-beta1, our first attempt at packaging 4.6.0, will be pushed to our kde/unstable repos shortly. While it's worked surprisingly well for me during my limited testing, be ready to find/report buglets, and possibly know how to revert if things blow up for you. Enjoy. -- Rex

Understanding yum messages
by Anne Wilson 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

I sometimes have the greatest trouble understanding yum messages. Today's, for instance: yum update soprano* Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 for package: soprano-backend- sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 ---> Package soprano.i586 0:2.3.63-0.1.20091009.fc11 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution soprano-backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 is needed by package soprano- backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 is needed by package soprano- backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I've tried all three clean-up commands, with nothing reported. Does this mean that I've got the soprano package out of sync with the others? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

KBibtex and soundKonverter
by Diego 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hello everybody! :) Some time ago I asked to update KBibtex package to the latest version: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517048 Unfortunately C. Nolte isn't replying: F11 and F12 are even shipping a more older version than the one in F10 and F9! http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2192 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/bugs/kbibtex?_csrf_token=975… Is it the case to ping him? Another brief note: I added soundKonverter to the Packaging Requests page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Packaging/Requests http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29024 Regards, Diego

kpackagekit fails with authentication error in live sessions ?
by linux guy 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

I know that kpackagekit is undergoing some big changes. I mention the following in case people aren't aware of it. I was unable to install new packages with kpackagekit during both F11-live sessions and f12 rawhide live sessions due to authentication problems. I am in the process of buying a netbook computer for a project. Before I purchase, I want to make sure that it will run various pieces of software and do various things. (transcode video, run YouTube videos, etc.) A live session provides a very convenient way of testing this sort of thing because one needn't install Fedora onto a hard drive, one can easily test multiple machines, etc. However, the live iso doesn't provide all of the packages necessary to do the things I need. I thus attempted to use kpackagekit as a normal user to install several packages during the live sessions. The isos used for these sessions were: kde-i386-20091012.16.iso kde-i386-20091008.15.iso and Fedora-11-i686-Live-KDE.iso However, kpackagekit failed to install any packages at all. With each attempt kpackagekit came to the point where it required authentication to actually install the packages, then displayed an authentication request window and locked up, not allowing the user to authenticate the request. The only way to exit the process was to cancel it and try (unsuccessfully) again. Knowing that one must be superuser in order to install packages using yum, I attempted to run kpackagekit as su from the command line using $kdesu kpackagekit and #kpackagekit. Kpackagekit failed to run at all from these attempts. Thanks for listening.

Amarok 2.2.0 broken?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

I just installed amarok-2.2.0-2.fc11.x86_64 from updates and find it essentially borked in that I can't select any music. None of the options in the left-most column (Local Music, Internet, Playlists and Files) are selectable when clicked on. I even tried removing .kde/shared/apps/amarok to make sure I was starting afresh, but it makes no difference. Am I the only one seeing this? F11, KDE, fully updated. poc
