It should not be unless you're specifically using that feature. In the "Quality" section, there are settings you can play with, have you checked those? It's hard to say what your problem is because "sounds like a tin can" is not very helpful - you say it's not clipping and that the levels are OK. The above is what I can come up with so far - I do lots of recording of audio I'm playing on my various PCs and laptops, and if I can get Audacity to 'see' the signal, then it generally sounds good... Some combinations of hardware/drivers will not work, but generally, it's all or nothing - that's been my experience on lots of installations. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

best backup solution
by Rafnews 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi, coming from microsoft windows world, i would like to know what is the best backup solution/tool under linux. I'm aware of simple backup suite and fwbackups, however i would like to understand the phylosophy behind Linux backup. under windows we used to backup the complete partition with files also store in it. this is the simplest method. However under linux, till now i found only how to backup files...nothing about partition. could you explain me how linux people understand backup ? should we only backup user's files and settings ? how to you backup a webserver for example ? this is not a simple item and it is not only user's files. thx -- Alain ----------------------------------------------------------- Windows 7 x64 / Fedora 17 x64 MySQL 5.5.28 Apache 2.4.3 / OpenSSL 1.0.1c Tomcat 7.17 PHP 5.4.8

F18: ~/.vnc/xstartup example
by Fernando Gozalo 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Please, could someone copy-paste a working ~/.vnc/xstartup so I can have a gnome3 session when I access my computer using VNC? The ~/.vnc/xstartup I used in F17 doesn't work in F18. Thanks, Fernando.

Hello, on my Lenovo C200 I've no Problem to record what I hear using audacity. But ... on my Lenovo X121e the recording sounds really bad. It sounds like a tin can. But is not clipped. The level is also ok. Any idea what might be the reason? --Frank Elsner

Uptime in FC18 XFCE panel
by Bill Davidsen 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

A simple question about options. My panel in FC16 shows uptime with days on one line and HH:MM fractional days on the next. In FC17 and FC18 only days are shown. I looked through .config/xfce4/panel files for the answer, but in every case the uptime is just enabled and works (or not) as I wish. I did some searching, but haven't found the right info, how do I set thisd? -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Re: Upgrade disaster F16->F17 (planned to go to F18)

It was F16 so I had to use preupgrade to go to F17. After several reboots it is up, sort-of, on the F16 kernel. I have had the following problems. [snip] Any idea on how I can fix YUM? # cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) # yum update Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/16/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again Any idea how I can fix grub to boot into the F17 kernel? First, run rpm --rebuilddb This will run a consistency check on the RPM database. Then run rpm -q fedora-release Your yum error suggests that you have fedora-release-16 installed, irrespective of what your motd announces. If so, mount the F17 install media, go into the Packages/f directory and run rpm -UvhF fedora-release* to manually update your fedora-release package to 17. THANKS: I had not thought to rebuild rpmbuild. I'll try the manual update of the fedora-release as well when I get home tonight and attempt to fix this mess. -- Wade Hampton

Lack of things in Gimp
by Sylvia Sánchez 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hello everybody! I found that Gimp in Fedora has less functions that in other distributions (like Fuduntu or Ubuntu). In example, I can find video and animation edition, and a lot of scripts. Why is this happening? How can I solve it? Thank you very much! Lailah
