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.

The Spin: a New Name
by Christopher Antila 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

Hi: I'm breaking the name discussion into a different thread to help organize our thoughts. And because I forgot to put this in my previous email. Here are the names of the current spins: Design-suite Electronic-Lab Games KDE LXDE Robotics Scientific-KDE Security SoaS XFCE They're all boring, except SoaS ("Sugar on a Stick" for the Sugar desktop environment on a USB stick). Thus I suggest the following, some of which have already been suggested: Audio Music Audio-Creation Music-Creation Audio-KDE (especially good if we choose GNOME) Security (we'll ask them to borrow the spin name... nobody will find us... it'll be the most secure spin ever!) Sound Creator Soundwave Also David, I object to your end-tag for friday_mood. In Fedora, it's always the weekend! Christopher.

Musician's guide on the Spin (and other links)
by Brendan Jones 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

I was poking around the kickstarts for some of the other spins to see what they are doing in addition to the normal live CD's. One thing that stood out was this from the Design Spin. It creates a desktop entry in the %post section which is simply an internet link. We could do the same for the Musicians guide rather than having to package it: # Add link to the Inkscape Course cat >> /usr/share/applications/inkscape-course.desktop << FOE [Desktop Entry] Name=Introduction To Inkscape GenericName=Inkscape Course Comment=Materials from Máirín Duffy's Inkscape Class Exec=xdg-open http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Introduction_To_Inkscape Type=Application Icon=fedora-logo-icon Categories=Graphics;Documentation; FOE chmod a+x /usr/share/applications/inkscape-course.desktop For those who are interested I was simple browsing through the accepted spins here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=tree

/dev/snd/seq access control list & verbose jack
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hi, just starting to test a new install of Fedora 17 (and releasing the Planet CCRMA packages for it as well :-) I find that out of the box /dev/snd/seq does not get the acl updated to include the user currently logged in. That is happening for the pcm files in /dev/snd. The end result is that Qjackctl complains (as it did in Fedora 11!) that it can't use the ALSA sequencer interface. Which Fedora component should I file a bug against? (udev?) I also noticed that jack is starting by default in verbose mode and there seems to be no way to silence its output to the default (--silence has no effect). There is a thread about this (without a resolution) in LAU. Any clues on what might be happening? -- Fernando

Jack and pulse on the Spin
by Brendan Jones 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Just a note that the default F17 pulseaudio configuration supports jack bridging via dbus (/etc/pulse/default.pa). ### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present .ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so .nofail load-module module-jackdbus-detect .fail .endif This is different to again to module-jack-sink.so/module-jack-source.so which is what some of us have been using up until now. What that means is if jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus is on the spin by default, bridging is set up automatically. This is something that needs to be considered carefully and I'd be interested in how well jackdbus is working for people. I was having random errors in the past with jackdbus hogging CPU with pulse. I will perform some more monitoring here, but it would be great to hear what others have experienced.
