Playing Midi files for Intel AC'97
by Chu Jeang Tan 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I've a Dell 4550 with Intel integrated AC'97 sound card. # lspci 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) # aplaymidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 Based on above aplaymidi output, does that mean my card does not have a on-board sound table of sort, so, there isn't a virtual port that allows me to send midi commands to, and have it played through dsp? Currently, I'm able to use Timidity to process a midi file, translate it to wave and output to dsp. However, I believe this approach is not integrated to alsa. As a result, I think, Audacious isn't able to play midi, because alsa system isn't setup to play midi. Below is lsmod output, I'm not sure if I missed loading some modules. # lsmod | grep snd snd_intel8x0 35549 1 snd_ac97_codec 93413 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 6465 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_dummy 7877 0 snd_seq_oss 33601 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11201 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 51249 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 11853 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 43617 0 snd_mixer_oss 19393 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 75205 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 25157 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 53829 11 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11681 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13769 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

Battery power icon charge status feedback
by Sam Varshavchik 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

In FC6, when on AC power, the battery icon provided some feedback regarding the charge status. As the battery was charging, the icon would show a progressively full battery. Now, in FC6, the charge icon appears to be a static image, and I must move the cursor on top of it to see the battery's charge status. Am I the only one who finds this a backwards step? By following certain charge/discharge practices, I find that I can greatly prolong my laptop's battery. After 4-5 months of heavy use, it did not seem to have lost any noticable capacity. To do that, I rely on the battery's charge status, and I used to be able to simply monitor it out of a corner of my eye, but now I need to mouse over it. Is there anything in FC7 that will pop up a window anytime the battery's charge exceeds or drops below a configurable level?

Printing 'Info' ??
by Bill Case 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi; Does anybody know of or have a good little gui program, script, or command line program for printing 'info' pages. Up to now I have been using emacs + info, or cut and paste then print, or lpr -node. I want something slightly more sophisticated. Print several related nodes, a whole node tree with some nodes excluded, etc. Have googled and sourceforged. Maybe I am not using the correct search criteria ("Info print" and variations)? -- Regards Bill

fonts in firefox
by Tom Spec 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I am trying to start using Fedora on the desktop, but one thing that really bothers me is that the fonts often look pretty bad in firefox (compared to how they look in Windows.) I notice this in particular at Yahoo Mail. Are there any quick fixes for this? Maybe I am missing some packages or something? Thanks, Tom

Need to block ?
by Bob Goodwin 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

What is the correct notation for blocking a range of addresses in my router? If I block 64.18.5.13 it simply moves up to 64.18.5.14. I thought the proper way to do it was 64.18.5.0/255 but obviously that's wrong or at least doesn't work for me. Whatever it is has run my upload data allotment up to 3gigs and I'm only allowed 5g for 30 days! So this is a panic and I haven't been able to find why this is possible? Bob Goodwin

Dvorak keyboard shortcuts
by Dotan Cohen 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

As a Hebrew, QWERTY, and Dvorak keyboard layout user, I'm especially interested in configuring Fedora's keyboard shortcuts so that they will always be the same physical key no matter what keyboard layout and application I'm in. I've looked into this before, and I think that I've seen solutions proposed (at the X level, maybe?), but googling the issue has yet to find a solution for me. Please, what must one configure so that keyboard shortcuts are bound to physical keys, and therefore not dependent upon keyboard layout? Thanks in advance. This has been one of the biggest issues for me since moving from that_other_os over a year ago. I'd like to have it resolved, once and for all.

Grub inacuracies
by Karl Larsen 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I am reading info grub and when I got to making a grub bootable cd-rom I just checked and one file you needed was from /usr/lib/grub/ which doesn't exist on FC6. On a chance I tried /usr/share/grub/ and that will work. So far the reading has me afraid to try anything :-[ They say you can sure screw up the system without even trying. This is why I *think* I want a CD-Rom with Grub on it to recover from disaster. But even this is not certain yet. Has anyone else tried to work with Grub? Karl

Press F5
by Karl Larsen 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I was pleased with the Fedora Core 6 DVD Rescue Mode. It starts with you pressing F5 and then at the prompt type "linux rescue" and it comes up looking like your loading a new Linux partition but then it branches to a place you choose which existing Linux partition to mount on the rescue Linux. Then I typed grub and got into the grub shell. Typed grub> quit and got out of the shell. Then got on this Linux at /boot/grub/ and with the joe editor (THANK YOU!) brought up grub.conf in joe and could have done anything. So the Fedora Core 6 Rescue Mode is the way to go. Now I need to learn what to DO. Karl

Grub sucks!
by Karl Larsen 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I have made 3 CD-Rom's following instructions with care from info grub and while close it's still not right. I took the things from my /boot/grub/ directory and put them in the .iso file and made the last CD. It comes up just like the page I get when I turn on my computer! Cool. Alas when you try to boot anything it errors out ends with hit any key and your back looking again. Better than nothing. I guess I need to look at grub.conf and try and figure out what I need to change but nothing comes to mind now. Karl
