No sound in F24 with Intel onboard audio (RealTek ALC887)
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

It has been years that I had problems with audio in Fedora, so I am no longer used in debugging alsa/pulsaudio problems. But recently, after a fresh install of Fedora 24, I can't hear anything from my setup: - Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) - Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) (the second one, of course, is a video card). When playing any audio file, pavucontrol indicates that there is something playing to "Analog Stereo Duplex" (which was the appropriate device in former Fedora versions), but now I can't hear anything. And before you ask: All relevant controls in alsamixer are unmuted. There is no error message from journalctl that seems to be sound related. - Content of /proc/asound/cards: 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7210000 irq 29 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 17 - Output from aplay -l: Karte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], Gerät 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog] Sub-Geräte: 0/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], Gerät 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sub-Geräte: 0/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Thanks in advance for any pointer!

by Saint Michael 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

starwars
by François Patte 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Bonjour, I would like to create a scrolling text like at the beginning of the Lucas' film starwars. On the internet, I can find some ubuntu starwars program, but I am unable to find it for fedora (or find the source code). Does anyone know some program to produce such a scrolling text under linux? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Chrome not Chromium on Fedora 24
by Peter G. 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I noticed that chromium was now in the fedora repo, so I installed it. It turns out that pepperflash is not included, but I found freshplayerplugin on rpmfusion. I was not able to get it working (the audio/video/ebooks from the public library services, such as overdrive, hoopla, Naxos Music Library, did not work). There was already a google-chrome-stable repo in yum.repos.d from before, so I updated chrome. This is where the problems/confusion began... 1. google-chome-stable is no longer located in /usr/bin 2. no links appear in the launcher (easy to create manually) 3. dead links to the executable in /usr/bin and /etc/alternatives 4. chrome is now installed to /opt 5. the google chome repo file has vanished from yum.repos.d 6. privacy badger does not recognize chrome in /opt and no amount of uninstalling, closing down chrome, restarting and freshly installing the badger would get it to work So... Can I manually create the google-chrome-stable repo file and will it now update the version installed to /opt, or is this going to cause a big mess? Or, do I henceforth have to uninstall chrome and reinstall for every new upgrade?

unable to start rc-local.service
by François Patte 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Bonsoir, I try to enable rc-local service: 1- I created /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: #!/bin/bash iptables -I INPUT -p udp --sport 1900 -j ACCEPT 2- I chmoded /etc/rc.d/rc.local chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local But the service won't start: # systemctl status rc-local.service ● rc-local.service - /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since sam. 2016-09-03 22:49:00 CEST; 25s ago Process: 8189 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/rc.local start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) sept. 03 22:49:00 berrichon systemd[1]: Starting /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility... sept. 03 22:49:00 berrichon systemd[1]: rc-local.service: Control process exited, code=exited ...203 sept. 03 22:49:00 berrichon systemd[1]: Failed to start /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility. sept. 03 22:49:00 berrichon systemd[1]: rc-local.service: Unit entered failed state. sept. 03 22:49:00 berrichon systemd[1]: rc-local.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full. On other nstall of fedora 23 this works.... Why not on this computer?

Aargh! More systemd nonsense
by Tom Horsley 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I finally have enough kludgery in my reboot script to reboot the system fast, now when I install an update I get a systemctl restart rpcbind.service command run from DNF hanging for several minutes before the dnf update can proceed. GAAAAH!

Seeking advice on router.
by Erik P. Olsen 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

I have a linksys router model WRT160NL but the range is too short. I experience many situations where the connection is dropped when the distance from the router is more than 25 feet. What is the recommended router when it comes to signal strength? I would prefer one which can be flashed with dd-wrt. Thanks in advance -- Erik
