Speakers don't Mute when headphones are plugged in (Speakers & Headphones at the same time) :S
by Manuel Escudero 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Since I bought my computer and I installed Linux on it, I had this problem... Back in the day I never Found a REAL Solution and finally my solution (in Fedora) was installing "pavucontrol" to choose the Devices when I needed to Switch. Via the Pulse Audio Volume Control I was able to Mute speakers or Headphones at my will, even if I had both connected, this thing worked from F12 to F14 very well... (The same problem is present in every distro I tried and sometimes it was solved the same way in other distros) But Now, I'm in F15 And my magic workout doesn't work anymore... it doesn't matter wich device I choose as output, the PC simple don't mute one or another and my headphones and speakers sound at the same time, Can you tell me How to Fix it? The Sound card is a HDA INTEL with the Realtek ALC662 rev1 Chip, as I said before, I'm using Fedora 15 KDE (64 Bit version) and I'm running ALSA v 1.0.23 Any Help will be really nice Thanks! -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: E2B4 31CE F2BF 1944 8664 3E22 88C8 DFC9 4D7C 1B35

No sound from Headphones in F15
by Manuel Escudero 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Just a Few days ago I wrote a thread to this list talking about my speakers-headphones issue, (Both play at the same time) That I use to solve using "pavucontrol" to select the desired output device from F12 to F14 (Now in F15 that "solution" doesn't work anymore) and more strange, Just Now I tried to use the Pulse Audio Volume Control again to select the output and if I select the speakers, both headphones and speakers sound BUT if I select Headphones BOTH devices "shut up" O.o ¿Why? I believe it's a pulseaduio issue... I'll quote my previous problem with all the extra info I have about it: QUOTE BEGINING: Since I bought my computer and I installed Linux on it, I had this problem...

drupal 7 in F14?
by Dave Stevens 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I've been learning about Drupal 7 on a CentOS install and it is more convenient to use it on my F14 box for learning purposes. The install was just a yum command, but I'm accustomed to finding and running the install.php file to configure it. When I start an instance of firefox as root and browse to that file I don't get the expected install screen sequence but rather some ascii gibberish. Also the file location is in /usr/share rather than as I would have expected in a folder off /var/www/html. Is there a reference for D7 in Fedora? There's no man page. I have a couple of D7 books, it's the Fedora-specific bits I'm having trouble with. Advice much appreciated. Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Fedora 15 -- Samba configuration
by Michael Eager 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I'm having trouble getting Samba to work on F15, x86_64, samba 3.5.8. I'm using the same smb.conf file which previously worked without problem on Fedora 10. I've trimmed it down to bare bones, with no luck. From a Windows XP machine, I get "<server>\<share> is not accessible." with no other information. I've also tried to access the share from the Linux server and I get an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error. The user name is "eager" and I have run "smbpasswd -a eager" and "smbpasswd -e eager". Any suggestions?

Preupgrade and first thoughts
by Mark Eggers 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

In short, there are some teething issues, but nothing that shouldn't be able to be worked around. First of all, the basics for my system. CPU: Intel P4 at 2.60 GHz Memory: 1.5 GB RDR ram Disk: 120 GB IDE ext 3 Graphics: NVidia 7600 GS overclocked Driver: NVidia 275.09 from NVidia (beta) Display: Samsung SyncMaster 1680x1050 The good: Preupgrade worked without having to depend on a wired connection. Preupgrade correctly found enough space on /boot. All custom settings were retained. This is pretty amazing since this system has not had a fresh system install since Fedora 9. The expected: I had to use Ctrl-Alt-F3 to get to command line mode to install the NVidia driver. The long: With 3075 packages to upgrade, this process took a little over 6 hours. The bad: The timezone seems to have gotten borked. Both KDE and Gnome time setting tools were unable to change this in a persistent way. I had to use /usr/bin/system-config-date to make the persistent change. It looks like the Cairo buggy gradient patch has been removed. This results in poor performance for those people running NVidia cards with the NVidia blob for some operations. Performance issues with GTKPerf. While most operations are slightly faster, the GtkTextView - Add text operation is three times slower. The system appears to use more memory than Fedora 14. I suppose this is due to Gnome 3. I will have to make some detailed notes at a later point. Several minor SELinux issues. Bugs concerning ones with Fedora-only components have been filed. mysql_auth is missing a symbol, preventing HTTPD from starting if this module is configured. I have commented it out for now, and will submit a bug with the exact information later. KPackageKit and yum don't seem to be in sync. Checking for updates with KPackageKit produces no updates, while checking via the yum command line lists updates. Also, updates are listed twice when running yum from the command line. For example: ---> Package parted.i686 0:2.3-8.fc15 will be updated ---> Package parted.i686 0:2.3-9.fc15 will be an updated The ugly: Boot messages are less clear, slowing down the ability to catch boot-time errors. I had to diagnose the Apache HTTPD problem by running /usr/sbin/apachectl start|stop and watching the console for errors. Fonts are a mess (again). Even including 10-autohint.conf doesn't help. I will have to redo my ~/.fonts.conf again to get fonts clear, clean, and crisp. Fonts in Emacs (actually since late Fedora 14) are a mess. In order to reduce artifacts, I have to use 14 pt. Courier New. Of course, this means I can edit documents from across the room. Lots of .xsession-errors entries due to what looks like race conditions in KDE. This could be due to the beta driver. However, the beta driver seems to have smoother performance than the released 270.41.19 driver. Gnome 3 is pretty much unusable with custom fonts. I will spend time resetting the fonts to default, then seeing if I can clean up the theme. This is pretty low on a list of things to do, since Gnome 3 does not seem to fit my workflow (lots of different applications, workspaces dedicated to tasks). . . . . just my two cents. /mde/

Fedora 15 boot delays -
by Bob Goodwin 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I was seeing some very slow boot times, probably self inflicted, until I re-installed F-15 after which it worked quite nicely. Until I disabled network manager and set up a non-dhcp network with system-config-network. Then I could connect to the internet by clicking on "Activate" and the browser and e-mail functions worked but there was no connection to the LAN. Ethtool reported there was no device. I then did: cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p2p1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and rebooted and eth1 came back on and I had access to my NFS, etc. However the boot routine now stops at "Start LSB: The cups scheduler" and sm-client, 60 seconds at each one which makes for a long boot time. Normally that's only done once a day so it's mostly an annoyance but I would like to fix it so it works right. That or I guess there's really no reason I can't live with network manager. It's just that I don't need it, these computers are all "desk top" computers firmly rooted to my desks and tethered to the 60 cycle main. I guess what I'm looking for is advice, should I just turn up network manager again or keep hoping that a solution comes along? Bob. --

F15: fail2ban not in iptables status
by Marco Guazzone 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I have fail2ban up and running on my Fedora 15. root 1026 0.0 0.3 189936 6724 ? S 13:52 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -b -s /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock -x I use it for banning IPs that try to connect to my host via SSH. Here's below is a snip of jail.local: --- [jail.local] --- [ssh-iptables] enabled = true filter = sshd action = iptables[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp] sendmail-whois[name=SSH, dest=sguazt, sender=fail2ban@localhost] logpath = /var/log/secure maxretry = 3 --- [/jail.local] --- However I can't see it in the iptables status (like I could until Fedora 14).

Converting VMs from KVM to VirtualBox
by Fernando Lozano 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi there, Although the man page for qemu-img states i can convert between raw, qcow2 and vdi images, a raw KVM image I converted did not worked with VirtualBox. Could anyone confirm if this was supposed to work? I used this command: # qemu-img convert -O vdi centos.img centos.vdi (yes, the VM was running CentOS 5) And I tried to use centos.vdi as an image file when defining a hard drive for the VirtualBox VM. Under Fedora 14, all updates installed, and VirtualBox 4.0.8 from Oracle repos. []s, Fernando Lozano
