a sound problem
by 猫行天下 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hi,everyone, I'm not sure why this happens, but the problem is when I'm in the GUI(Gnome),the sound works pretty good. And if I play a music and change to the console, while Login into the system,the sound is also works good. But when I first changed into the console and Login before there is any music playing(after boot), I can't sound it. How can I deal with this problem? Thanks for any thoughts on this. ~~~ Li from china.

size discrepancy
by JD 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

$ ls -l total 7070588K -rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd 3616604160 Oct 1 23:27 f14.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd 1602 Sep 29 20:35 Fedora-14-Beta-i386-CHECKSUM -rw-r--r-- 1 jd jd 3616593920 Sep 29 21:56 Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso I burned Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso to blank dvd. One time I used wodim, and 2nd time I used growisofs. After each burn, I would dd the dvd back in: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=f14.iso bs=2k In both cases the size of f14.iso was 10240 bytes larger than Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso. So, naturally, I will not be able to get the same sha256 sum as that of Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso So, how do I dd the dvd in and get the same size as original iso? Perhaps growisofs and wodim are padding during burn. If that is the case, how do I suppress it?

Seperate audio outputs for fedora- is this limited by my soundcard or the number of outputs on my motherboard?
by Samuel Kidman 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hello Another audio question: I want to be able to play one audio source through my headphones (say from one application) and then play another audio source through my line out port (from another application). Is this possible? I have an integrated soundcard. The computer is a Hewlett-Packard DC7600. Just wondering if the sound card on this computer is capable of piping two different audio sources at the same time, and if so, how this can be accomplished using fedora and alsa or pulseaudio. Maybe even Jack? Regards, Sam

links, mc, lynx, etc. No console mouse support.
by Silent-Hunter 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

I cannot seem to get console mouse support working. GPM works for copy/paste, but Lynx, Midnight Commander, and Links will not use the mouse unless I run them as root or with sudo. Can anyone help me get mouse access without having to be root?

Converting ext4 to xfs
by Suvayu Ali 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was any way I could convert an ext4 partition into an xfs partition without copying around files onto a separate partition and reformatting. The partition in question is my /home on a volume group of its own. I realised, lately I have been dealing with very large files quite often. Ranging from few hundred megs to a gig or two. So I decided to switch to xfs. Do you think its worth the effort? Also since we are talking about my /home here, there will also be small conf/settings files along with the large files. Do you think that would be disadvantageous somehow? Would it make more sense to shrink my /home and have a separate xfs partition in the created space for the large files? Thanks for any thoughts on this. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

LibreOffice Install Process.
by Michael D. Setzer II 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I download and setup the 64 bit version of the Fedora 13 machine using the following process. Extract the gz file cd en-US cd RPMS rpm -Uvh *.rpm that went fine with no problems cd desktop-integration ran the redhat rpm It gave conflicts with openoffice remove openoffice reran redhat rpm, and it worked in the installation, but the links did not work. Turned out they were running libreoffice instead of the libreoffice3 from the /usr/bin. So, I just created a link using ln -s libreoffice3 libreoffice Don't know if this is the exact process that was meant to be done, or if it is the same with the 32 bit version? Wondering if others have checked it out yet.
