Same thing, here.  We can no-longer use a set of predictable rules, and
need to have pre-programmed dates.  The tzdata gets updated from time to
time, to accommodate changes such as these.  It's a fair bet that
changes to countries like the US are kept up with, with their large
number of users keeping an eye out for that sort of thing.  You can
check the changelog for your tzdata package for that sort of thing.

Yes, your computer will manage your date and clock by itself, if you
have the right timezone settings and data.  You shouldn't have any
problems, unless you dual-boot, and your other OS decides to do
corrections upon corrections.

Re: f10 boot problem after soft. raid install

Bonsoir,

I have just made a fresh install of f10 using software RAID on two HD.

No problem.

I have two other disks which were unplugged during the install
process. After updating and completing the install, I plugged again
these two disks (on which are data from a former install) and now the
system doesn't boot (I even can't see grub screen)!
If I unplug the two drives, I can boot.

Maybe some bios issue.


That's right... plugging the two drives changed the boot order

Thanks

Re: pulseaudio deeply unreliable (Fedora 10)

2009-03-08 Thread Steve Searle

Around 08:31pm on Saturday, March 07, 2009 (UK time), Nigel Henry scrawled:

> To disable it, simply do a, yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, which will 
> also remove kde-settings-pulseaudio package, if you are using KDE.

Thanks for this.  Having put up with stuttering sound on the PC I use to
play music on, I made the changes you suggested and that has sorted it.

For completeness I had to do the following:

# yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

Set sound to use ALSA.

$ gnome-sound-properties

Set Sound playback: under Sound Events, Music and Movies, and Audio
Conferencing to ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

$ gnome-volume-control

Under Preferences, select PCM. Change PCM's volume to an appropriate
level. 

This was for a SB Audigy soundcard.

This is a relatively low-spec machine - 1Ghz CPU and only 896Mb RAM,
but music performance was fine prior to this and is now fine again under
ALSA.  I will continue to use pulseaudio on my other machines, and will
give it further chances under future distros.

Steve

Or directly ask the system how daytime is managed in your zone:

  zdump -v /etc/localtime

(or any other zone you are interested in)

  zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome

Best regards.

could somebody please give me the load down on recording quality
music with Fedora 10? What programmes should I use, etc in fact
everything!

- http://linux-sound.org/ has an interesting collection of apps.
- Install CCRMA repo, browse apps, there are wonderful

- my preferred:
for audio recording: audacity
effects: rakarrack
looping: sooperlooper (runs with sl-gui)
writing: denemo/nted
sequencing: rosegarden
rhythm machine: hydrogen
midi time machine: ardour (ardour is a full app, I use it only as a midi
time gen to sync it with sooperlooper and hydrogen)
others you will need: qjackctl, qsynth

My friends tell me I would have to quit Fedora and go to
Windows : an idea which does not please me.

Windows has some nice apps, linux has more, but not as mature as windows
ones (I can't find an advanced equivalent to finale, sometimes I use my
old finale 2007 over wine). Audio quality is excellent. I prefer working
with linux, due to the possibilities, I use an Axiom midi controller.

Greets!
