audio/media related reports to bugzilla.redhat.com ignored?
by Niels Mayer 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

For audio/media related apps and issues reported on bugzilla.redhat.com , this is the pattern: bugs get filed, they're never acknowledged && totally ignored. Eventually people stop filing bug reports as it ends up being a waste of time and the quality of the distro goes down as result.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566665 [abrt] instability from snd-mtpav on PCI parallel port, causes crash in jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0-1.fc12 (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588965 [abrt] crash in gnome-media-apps-2.28.5-1.fc12: Process /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 [abrt] crash in alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12: ____strtol_l_internal: Process /usr/bin/envy24control was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 envy24control "Reset Peaks" button nonfunctional; metering shows no peaks Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: the above is not my experience with non-media related bugs, which are handled quickly and effectively, e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575875 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543#c20

Re: [Fedora-music-list] Good hardware specs for a "Fedora Music" box?

I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much harder to work any other way. That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want. K. -- Kev Green, aka Kyrian.

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

whysynth doesn't work
by Florin Andrei 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

I sort of missed the deadline for anything official, so for Fedora 18 we're going to have to go with the usual "Fedora Audio"-style menagerie. Over the next week, I hope to start collecting all of our discussions through the spin development process, so that we'll be able to write: 1.) A chronicle of the efforts it tooks us to actually make a spin. 2.) Official documentation to add to the Musicians' Guide, about the software in the spin, the differences between it and a default Live Fedora installation, and maybe a brief history. 3.) Unofficial documentation for the wiki, about additional things you can do, that we can't write in the official docs... like "here's how to install the realtime kernel" and "here's how to install MP3 support for Audacity" and other things. I expect that much of this already exists, and I'll just have to start collecting things. > I'm itching to go into full-on blogging / tweeting mode on this. Why not start right away, with a blog post that describes your involvement in the spin's development? In fact, if several of us did this, we'd have a really interesting "chronicle of the efforts it took us to actually make a spin." Christopher

Thanks to everyone and Merry Christmas
by Jørn Loamx 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

I would like to thank everyone for their participation this year on making the Fedora Music Spin a reality. It was by all means a group effort so we can all give ourselves a pat on the back and say "job well done" (Do it now! Don't think you don't deserve it). Now that we have our own ISO built every night and we can official call ourselves *Fedora* Jam, we have completed the first step. Now we have to work together to make this the best audio- and music-creation/ Linux distro out there. This will need a lot of community work and spreading the word as much as possible. We also need to make sure the software is up to scratch, so bug reporting and testing will be very important. So keep up the good work, and have a nice relaxing Christmas holiday. I hope we can keep up the momentum after the Holidays and I'm looking forward to continue contributing in the coming year. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year -Jørn Lomax NB: (If this is considered off topic, please accept my sincere apologies)
