Fedora14 Audio mixers in KDE
by Terry Barnaby
I have just updated some systems for Fedora12 to Fedora14.
All has gone well and is working well, so far, except that
I don't seem to be able to control the mixer on the sound
hardware. Sound is working, in that I get the login music,
beeps etc.
Specifically I want to listen to audio from the Line input. The
KDE sound icon has an overall level control but no other
controls. The "Configure Channels" settings in kmix do not
list any other channels. This on three systems, with different sound
hardware although all Intel I think.
Any ideas, has something changed with the pulseaudio config ?

Any Dittoheads out there?
by Geoffrey Leach
No flames please. This is a technical question.
I download podcasts with a script that runs after 11pm
(Satelite internet). Is it possible to get the URL for the day's show
by scraping the member's page or compute it?. Needless to say, their
tech suport has no idea what I am trying to do.
Thanks.

edit multiple files under multiple directories/folders
by Kaushal Shriyan
Hi,
In my home folder I have 6 tomcat directories under
/home/kaushal/tomcat0......6
Under each of these tomcats there are sub folder conf and inside these conf
there is a file by the name server.xml so for example I have
tomcat0,tomcat1,tomcat2,tomcat3,tomcat4,tomcat5 so i need to edit server.xml
and set port numbers for tomcat0 to 8080 tomcat1 to 8081 and similarly for
others,the other way is to go to individual directory and do it
Please suggest/guide
Thanks and Regards
Kaushal

Flash issues with FC14, rawhide kernel
by Bill Davidsen
2.6.36-5
I was trying flash on an FC14 system with Firefox, and running the 2.6.36-5
rawhide kernel (otherwise stock Fedora system). The flash player crashes a few
seconds into playing a video. Flash works with the latest FC14 kernel, and with
the rawhide kernel using seamonkey.
Verified on a P4 desktop, Celeron laptop, and VM on i7-950 (KVM). just in case
this is useful to someone, I don't think BZ wants a bug in non-Fedora
application software since other Flash bugs are marked WONTFIX.

Mailman tutorial
by Robert Moskowitz
I have never configured mailman.
My server is F12 and the mail setup is based on:
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squ...
I have been running this mail setup for over a year and am happy with
it. Now I want to add mailman. I have installed mailman on another
system and am trying to figure this puppy out; it is not easy it seems.
So I am looking for a decent tutorial (like the one referenced above).
Any help out there?

KDE and proxy configuration script
by Serguei Miridonov
Hello,
Is there any way to trace how KDE sets proxy from the PAC
configuration file? For me it seems not working...
Here is a sample file proxy_config.pac:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (shExpMatch(url, "https:*")) return "DIRECT";
if (isInNet(host, "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) return "DIRECT";
if ( shExpMatch(host, "localhost") ) return "DIRECT";
if ( shExpMatch(host, "localhost.*") ) return "DIRECT";
if ( shExpMatch(host, "127.0.0.*") ) return "DIRECT";
if ( isPlainHostName(host) ) return "DIRECT";
var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host);
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(),"xxx.xxx.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) {
if (isInNet(resolved_ip, "xxx.xxx.0.0", "255.255.0.0"))
return "DIRECT";
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".xxx.xx"))
return "DIRECT";
return "PROXY xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3128";
}
return "DIRECT";
}
The KDE is set to "Use proxy configuration URL"
file:///home/XXXXX/proxy_config.pac
When at home and I have direct connection to Internet, everything
works. However, when at work and my IP address is within specified
xxx.xxx.0.0 network, I can not see any web page. It seems like KDE is
still set to direct connection but these are blocked by a firewall,
only proxy connections are allowed. KDE (konqueror and plasma applets)
does not even try to connect to proxy server.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, testing PAC file with pactester shows no error, so it
seems OK but KDE does something wrong...
System: Fedora 12, KDE 4.4.5.
Thank you.
Serguei.

Problm with icons on desktop
by Aaron Konstam
Suddenly when I logon my desktop is filled with files from my home
directory rather than files from my Desktop folder.
Configuration Editor should be able to fix this but how? Does anyone
know?

CPU usage with iostat
by Bruno Galindro da Costa
Hi,
Why the first execution of "iostat -c" always displays the same values?
[root@abc ~]# iostat -c
Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00
[root@abc ~]# iostat -c
Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00
[root@abc ~]# iostat -c
Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
When I use "iostat -c 1" the next values are modified:
[root@abc ~]# iostat -c 1
Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp (abc) 11/26/2010
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
5.62 0.00 3.08 3.30 88.00
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
2.00 0.00 4.00 23.25 70.75
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
0.75 0.00 1.74 24.38 73.13
avg-cpu: %user %nice %sys %iowait %idle
0.25 0.00 0.50 24.56 74.69
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
Reading the man pages os iostat, I could not understand these lines:
*"The first report generated by the iostat command provides statistics
concerning the time since the system was booted. Each subsequent report
covers the time since the previous report."
"The first report contains statistics for the time since system startup
(boot). Each subsequent report contains statistics collected during the
interval since the previous report."*
*Why it can´t build a report with the current usage values at the first
execution?*

Fedora14 3D graphics with ATI, very very slow
by Terry Barnaby
Hi,
I have just updated from Fedora12 to Fedora14 on a few systems.
There is a problem with 3D graphics on at least two of these systems.
The one I am currently using has:
08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650
Series] (rev 9e)
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on RV530
If I try and run blender, it comes up but there appear to be multiple second
delays when trying to click on menus etc.
If I try and turn compositing on then the graphics is very slow moving
windows etc. Is this due to the new Gallium 3D driver ?
A laptop with a Mobility Radeon X300 appears the same.
Any ideas ?
