F15: Volume level starts at almost full blast
by jonetsu 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hello, I have one F15-64 bit machine on which the volume has to be very close to the minimum as it seems to attain full volume very, very early. Not much play in there. when pushed to the max there is some 'hardware noise' as it is very over-driven. I do not recall having this problem before a recent update on that machine. Another F15 64-bit machine does not show this limited rage at all and has a nice volume control. Would this be a hardware problem or is there something in a recent update that would mess the audio in such a way when seeing some specific hardware ? Thanks.

Ogg to mp3, anyone?
by Timothy Murphy 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

I'm looking for a Fedora/KDE application to convert ogg music format to mp3. (My Android phone does not accept .ogg files.) I read of a program "sneetchalizer", which apparently is a ruby script, <http://badcomputer.org/unix/code/sneetchalizer/>, but despite innumerable clues I've been unable to find the program itself. If anyone knows where I can find this program, or any program to convert Ogg audio files to mp3, I would be very grateful. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Dracut unloaded\unneeded modules\drivers
by Frank Murphy 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

This is some of what's in /etc/grub2.cfg rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 rd.plymouth=0 I can see grub going: "disabling lvm, dmraid, mdraid" Now if I want to add them to /etc/dracut.conf # Dracut modules to omit #omit_dracutmodules+="" is it omit_dracutmodules+="luks lvm dmraid mdraid plymouth" or omit_dracutmodules+="luks,lvm,dm,md,plymouth" I hope will make for a lighter initramfs, along with "hostonly" -- Regards, Frank "Jack of all, fubars"

Rolling back to updates from updates-testing
by Christopher Svanefalk 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Assuming I have a package installed from updates-testing, is there any simple away (apart from erasing and reinstalling) to replace it with the equivalent package from the normal updates repository? Trying to avoid breaking dependencies. Thanks in advance! Best, Christopher

Gnome-tweak-tool issues
by Howard Howell 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

I have added gnome-tweak-tool to my system. However I have some problems with it. First run from the software install tool went OK. Made changes to various fonts, and they took effect. However on subsequent runs I had to start it from the command line, and it hung up, but I also got a few warnings and errors which are listed below. Is there any package I need to install to overcome these issues? Second and subsequent runs: $ gnome-tweak-tool WARNING : Schema /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.gschema.xml missing summary text: <key name="saved-im-presence" type="i"> <default>1</default> <summary/> </key> WARNING : Schema /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.gschema.xml missing summary text: <key name="saved-session-presence" type="i"> <default>0</default> <summary/> </key> (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed (gnome-tweak-tool:2166): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed

Soundconverter is a front end for Gstreamer, it's easy to use.

Does anyone have gdm autologin working in the XFCE spin
by Sam Varshavchik 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

On a machine where I installed the XFCE spin, gdm autologin to a user account is not working. I copied custom.conf from a different Gnome-based machine where autologin is working, but on the one with the XFCE spin, the autologin fails, and kick me back to a regular user login prompt, in gdm. I can only think of three possibilities: something in /etc/pam.d/gdm- autologin is barfing; or the PAM stuff runs fine, but leaves the user session in a state that can't start XFCE, for some reason; or gdm's autologin is hardcoded for the Gnome shell in some way, which won't work, obviously, in the XFCE spin. If you have gdm autologin working in the XFCE spin, I'd like to compare notes. I have selinux turned off. The only other factor I can think of that might be relevant is that the XFCE spin machine has everything mounted noatime.

Fedora unusually unstable recently?
by Christopher Svanefalk 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

I have no idea what is going on, but since my last batch of updates (about 2 days ago now), F16 has been crashing repeatedly. Often, this will happen when moving windows between workspaces, other times it will just happen randomly. Sometimes I am kicked out to the login screen, but most of the time I will just get a hard freeze forcing a physical reboot. Anyone else had similar issues? Any workarounds? // Chris
