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.

Congratulations in order
by Brendan Jones 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi all, this is just a quick memo to congratulate Jørn on his completion of the Fedora Audio spin project. I've been really impressed with his communication skills, his confidence and his new found love for Fedora (there is some security in this bureaucratic madness). He has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has shown great diligence towards the task at hand. I'd also like to thank the co-mentor Chris for his efforts and past experience. I've really enjoyed being a mentor this year - it has got me thinking about next year already. Now that we have the spin under our belt, I'm looking for new ideas/tasks that we can achieve (GSOC or not). Some that have come to mind: - a dedicated Fedora Audio design team (ie. providing wallpapers, desktop themes for all DM's) - improving pavucontrol or providing a better "jack-aware" one - upstream tasks such as jack, qjackctl and pulseaudio. I don't expect Rui to ever sanction the idea that qjackctl ever acknowledges pulse but its an idea) - making Jørn's audio control app a formidable player in all desktops Anyway - food for thought. Please use this thread for further ideas as to how we can make Fedora audio better. Brendan PS. I'm thinking of adding an Audio tag to the groups file. IE. yum groupinstall Audio Lets start the list of packages now?

Test day 23.08 postponed
by Jørn Loamx 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

I'm sorry to inform that the test day the 23.08 will have to be cancelled/postponed.The fedora spins are still not composing against f18/rawhide, and there is not much point to do a big test day against f17. We will find a new date when the spin will compose cleanly against f18 I would also like to say that this is my last message as part of GSoC. That's not to say I won't be around any more, but I won't be in my office from dawn til dusk staring bewildering at packages. I would like to thank everyone for their help and making me feel welcome. I have worked on several projects before, but none has been as welcoming as working with fedora. Hope I have been able to help the fedora music community this summer, and I hope to see you all around -- Jørn Lomax CS Student University of Tromsø

Theming for Fedora Jam
by Jørn Loamx 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Now that most of the technicalities and packages of the spin are in place, we should start looking at theming and usability. I have no knowledge of KDE and what people like, so this is where we need help. On the git repository we know have a theme package[1]. Play around with this and see what you like. To try it out, copy the directory, make changes to the file run make && make install. Then you can see what your theme looks like. We also need to know if we should add an extra panel to KDE, what apps we should have easy access too etc. We want as much feedback as possible so that we can find out what works best for most people.

Morning all We are having the last meeting where I'm part of GSoC tomorrow(Mon, 13.08) at 22.00 UTC[1]. We will discuss the way forward and get a full update about the current status for the spin. We will also discuss the upcoming test day. Sorry for the late reminder, but I hope as many as possible can show up [1]http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+Jam+meeti… -- Jørn Lomax GSoC atudent, Fedora audio Spin CS Student University of Tromsø
