Re: Sound delayed (Thanks!!! to everyone)
by ice 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

yes ofcourse i just right clicked on the speaker icon on right bottom of the screen. click volume controll and increase every volume entery which i found at zero(minimum). though it help in bringing the sound back, but there is little trouble, i used to play a game named 'Maelstorm", earlier its sound was ok but now its sound is delayed by 7 seconds(means when i press a key the corresponding sound produced after 7 sec). i don't know the reason. please do tell me if u know the reason...

pda frustration
by jack wallen 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

i've been using linux for over 10 years now. one of the single most frustrating aspects of the OS is how difficult it is to get a PDA to sync. i'm not sure why but every time i re-install fedora (or red hat when i was using that distro), the thing that caused me the most grief was the pda. and now - after so many years - i'm working with FC4 thinking "surely they've figured it out by now". well, they haven't. syncing a sony clie is still a nightmare. i can't get it to work and i'm about to tell myself my days with a pda are pretty much over. so does anyone know why such amazing developers within the Linux community can't seem to make syncing a pda a simple task? just curious. and if anyone has had any luck getting an out of box FC4 to sync with a sony i'd much appreciate any help. -- \||/ jack wallen, jr 00 www.monkeypantz.net > -

Wireless PC Card
by Kevin Kempter 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi List; I'm doing some work in the sticks and they have their M$ network locked down tight. I'm looking at getting a PCMCIA wireless card via cingular for national wireless access. Any thoughts on if this will work with Linux, any thoughts, suggestions, gotcha's etc that anyone is aware of? Anyone else doing this with Fedora? I currently use the IPW2200 to access wireless hotspots but obviously the IPW2200 project wont drive a PCMCIA card. Anyone know what projects to look at for this. I've heard of ndswrapper but know nothing about it... Thanks in advance for your help...

Possible SELinux or audit problem

Hi there, Since applying the last updates to FC4 from fedora site, it seems that most of the audit messages have disappeared. However, I still get the following when shutting down my system: Nov 2 11:11:23 software auditd[1752]: The audit daemon is exiting.

I found that by using a different base URL, such as: baseurl=http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ The problem cleared up. I tried giving a list of URL's in the baseurl field but started getting strange results (don't remember exactly what) so I backed off that idea. This is how I am set up right now. I left the other mirrors in for reference. I found the mirrors poking around the internet. I cannot vouch for the commented out mirrors. cat dag.repo [dag] name=Dag for Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ # http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/…, # http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/dries/fedora/fc$releasever/$base…, # http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/linux/$releasever/$b… enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-dag #gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

[TIP] core web font installer
by Michael A. Peters 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi guys - I wrote a small script for the purpose of fetching and installing the Microsoft Core Web fonts. There's a sourceforge project for it too, but I think my way is better. It's certainly easier. It either creates an rpm for you on the fly (if you have a multi-user system and want the fonts available for all users), or you can have it just dump the fonts into your ~/.fonts directory. It also asks you want fonts you want installed - four of them I don't want because I have substitutes that are better, for example - and I want fontconfig to make those substitutes (which it won't do if the real font is installed) The script does not need to be run as root. If you choose the rpm option, the resulting rpm will of course need to be installed as root. It uses zenity (part of gnome) and it needs cabextract installed (in extras - yum install cabextract) to grab it and use it - wget http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/misc/coreweb_font_installer.sh.gz gunzip coreweb_font_installer.sh.gz sh coreweb_font_installer.sh

Filesystems encoding for removable devices
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, How do I setup the filesystem enconding that should be used by udev when mounting removable devices? I would like to configure my FC4 system to use ISO-8859-1 when mounting pen drives, card readers or similar devices, while keeping UTF-8 in fixed disks. That's because I often need to access at Windows boxes pen drives with files saved in FC boxes and vice-versa, and accented characters in file names display wrong when the device is accessed by an operating system which was not the one that saved the files there. Thanks, Marcelo
