syslog is filling up because of pulseaudio. HELP!
by Steven W. Orr 12 Apr '09

12 Apr '09

I'm getting two of these per second. How can I stop it! Jan 26 11:21:00 saturn pulseaudio[4130]: module-alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Most likely this is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to the PulseAudio developers. My messages files are ginormous: [root@saturn log]# ls -l messages* -rw------- 1 root root 776571882 Jan 26 11:22 messages -rw------- 1 root root 5852717 Jan 4 04:03 messages-20090104 -rw------- 1 root root 5879548 Jan 11 04:03 messages-20090111 -rw------- 1 root root 235939198 Jan 18 04:05 messages-20090118 -rw------- 1 root root 609249323 Jan 25 04:30 messages-20090125 Did some upgrade do this to me? :-( -- Time flies like the wind.

F10 and vlc
by Joseph L. Casale 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Wow, out of the loop (I skipped F9), I have vlc and gstreamer-bad/ugly installed. Totem plays mp3's and xvids fine, but vlc is choppy as heck. Given that totem is not exactly what I would prefer to use, how does one fix vlc? Thanks! jlc

application to suck up RSS to local storage?
by Peter Teoh 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I know thunderbird can be used to view RSS news feed, but, like IMAP, the content is not stored locally, and thus viewing the pages are slow. Is there any application in Redhat which I can use to download RSS newsfeed, so that I can view it locally without much latency delays? -- Regards, Peter Teoh

F10: KDE and second display not working
by Tarjei Knapstad 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I'm running a two-display setup with my laptop (Dell Precision M65) as screen 0 and a second LCD screen as screen 1 (through the proprietary nvidia drivers). This works perfectly fine in gnome. If I log in with KDE I get a desktop, toolbars etc. on Screen 0, but only the desktop background on Screen 1 (no icons, no toolbar, no menu when right-clicking). I had the same problem in F9, where I just gave up and started using Gnome. Has anyone experienced anything similar/have any tips on how to fix this? I'd really like to go back to KDE soon :) This is with a fully updated F10 install in addition to: kmod-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686 kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.i386 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.82-1.fc10.i386 Thanks, -- Tarjei

Gimp Gap?
by Dan Thurman 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

[OFF TOPIC]: Gimp I was reading Gimp on Gimp's website and discovered that there was something called Gap. It was not clear to me if this was already built in, is a plugin, or a separate application to be downloaded and installed. If Gap is already built-in, how does one invoke it? Thanks! Dan

Ogg video editor?
by thomas cameron 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All - I am using recordmydesktop (love it, love it, loooooove it!) to do some desktop videos. My teammates and I have been trying to find a decent video editor for ogg files. Nothing fancy, I'm *not* a savvy video guy. Just want to splice some sections together and maybe snip out some "um" and "uh" stuff. Anyone got any suggestions? - -- Thanks!

Re: Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10 (solved)
by linux media 4 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I not only wanted to send a 'Solved' post, but pieced together a step by step on how to do this from all the posts... Copy/Rename the FDI file... cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi \ /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi edit this file (11-synaptics.fdi) as indicated in the thread appropriate section for your touchpad (you can discover which touchpad section by 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices') Reboot I added: <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge> (allowing 'on the fly' shutting on and off of features with 'synclient') <merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">2</merge> (Turns the mouse pad tapping (and other) features off) I can still do: synclient TouchpadOff=0 to turn the features on. My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi is in the paste bin as an example... http://fpaste.org/paste/3891 Thanks, Rocco

Revisor livecd for soho emergency use
by Peter Malcolm Croft Price 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

I am trying to provide a livecd for emergency use by colleagues and family on the soho servers (Fedora 10) I am responsible for. Revisor provides the opportunity to set up eth0 eth1 etc (with fixed ip addresses providing lan access) and firewall (I am still working on NAT setup) However in both scenarios ppp0 would have to be configured with username and password to bring up xdsl internet connection. I cannot rely on any user expertise beyond restarting the server and/or booting from the livecd. Has anyone on the list any ideas about solutions, strategies, gotchas? Thanks for any help. Peter

NetworkManager at boot-time
by Timothy Murphy 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Does anyone have NM under Fedora-10 making a WiFi connection before login? If so, what precisely did you do? (I tried a couple of suggestions I saw, but neither of them worked, possibly because I did not implement them properly.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Sharing yum between several machines
by Timothy Murphy 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Basically, I would like a system where yum looks first in a /common/yum/ directory NFS-mounted on several machines, and if it does not find what it is looking for then it goes to a mirror as before, and adds what it finds to /common/yum/ as well as installing it on the machine in question. Does yum have such a facility? I googled for "yum several machines" but all the solutions suggested, eg setting up a local mirror, seemed to me excessive for my purposes. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
