No sound on Fedora 21
by Frank McCormick
I am running Fedora 21 and after the latest updates I have no sound
on my machine.
aplay -l shows no sound cards. Mixers such as alsamixer show only Pulseaudio
master and the output is full.
Can someone suggest how to debug this ?
Thanks

No sound on Fedora 21 solved
by Frank McCormick
I figured out what was wrong. After the recent updates I changed the
grub installation to grub on my Debian partition. Everything
seemed to go well until todays sound problems. lsmod showed
there were NO sound modules loaded and uname -a showed a strange
kernel version.
I reinstalled grub from Fedora. Sound is back, lsmod shows
all the needed sound modules loaded.
Now there is another minor problem. With this version of
grub running, grub.cfg does not show my Windows 7 installation...just
Fedora and Debian.
Help ?
Thanks

To use the proprietary Nvidia drivers you have to downgrade the X
server to 1.17 (F23 supplies 1.18):
sudo dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg
You can then install the Nvidia 353.55 driver package from Nvidia's
site. I did this recently and haven't had a freeze since.

I did remove nouveau before installing nvidia and I did try the
rpmfusion pkgs after that with no success. Ill keep an eye on that
bug. Thank you.

Sddm don't allow to input username manually in F23
by wheelz
I have just upgraded one of my computer from F22 to F23. After reboot, I can't login any more.
My computer has no local user, so the login manager SDDM asks for password directly. I can't
input my username.

by Maurizio Marini
Hello there
I am trying to get my fedora cleaned up with some house keeping:
Fedora housewife home works :P
I am noting that I have a bunch of very obsolete firmware files:
ipw2100-firmware-1.3-17.fc21.noarch
ipw2200-firmware-3.1-10.fc21.noarch
zd1211-firmware-1.4-10.fc21.noarch
ivtv-firmware-20080701-28.noarch
aic94xx-firmware-30-6.fc20.noarch
ar9170-firmware-2009.05.28-4.fc17.noarch
atmel-firmware-1.3-13.fc21.noarch
This is an Asus notebook X73B and using lsmod I see that wifi chipset is
athereos
ath9k_hw 458752 2 ath9k_common,ath9k
ath 28672 3 ath9k_common,ath9k,ath9k_hw
Can I safely remove that obsolete firmware packages, according to you ?
Many thnx

This morning I tried to upgrade to f23 but after reboot f22 started again,
afaik

After reading this,
I issued 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest' as suggested, I noted 2 package in error,
I removed successfully openldap-servers-sql-2.4.40-3.fc21.x86_64,
and
dnf remove perl-PlRPC-0.2020-15.fc20.noarch
Now this night I will
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
again
