As it suggests your kernel driver is reporting incorrect information to the mixer. It will need to be fixed, the best thing you can do is file a bug against the kernel in Fedora bugzilla and attach the file generated by running: alsa-info.sh --no-upload And including this dmesg error and a description of any other sound related problems you have that might be relevant. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Suggestions: 1. The grub boot screen should have an explicit message to this effect. 2. (More difficult to implement), autodetect failures to boot and explicitly offer the user the alternatives.

F11 loud sound (>100% volume) anyone?
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this as I'm curious why it's happening. When I play sounds in F11 at the moment the master volume control goes too loud (mouse-over on the volume control applet comes out ~160%) and sound comes out incredibly loud and distorted. Changing the volume through the applet resets it to below 100% and a normal volume. This is particularly surprising because normally that volume control has no effect unless set to 0% in which case it mutes output, instead I use the hardware/advanced volume control applet to adjust PCM levels. This happens, for instance, when flash starts up in Firefox to play youtube videos or BBC radio. I think it has also happened with rhythmbox, but not at my machine at the moment so can double check that. It sounds like F12 has improved some pulseaudio volume issues, so maybe this will disappear when I try F12 later this week, but curious whether anyone else has seen it. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It's not going to offer much protection for just browsing the internet. On the other hand, disabling it is often part of my troubleshooting process and I've had times (even with F11) when that has been necessary just to get a working system.

F12 networkmanager, anyone else worried by this?
I've just noticed F12 is moving towards NetworkManager for system-wide connections. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerSystemConnections In principle it's a good thing, but with Fedora 11 I'm still having NM problems on two completely different wireless chipsets (rt2500 and iwl3945) which still refuse to do DHCP, which has been an intermittent problem since I first started trying to use NM (say around Fedora 8). It is always blamed on bugs in the drivers, which may be the case, but NM has always seemed less tolerant of these kinds of problems than the old system-config-network approach. Particularly since both cards work properly once static IP has been set up. I'm also worried that when other problems (such as recent difficulties I had with SElinux policies preventing graphical login) occur they will be harder to fix as it seems more likely that NM will be affected by other issues, resulting in trying to fix problems without a network connection available. Is anyone able to reassure me that NM will finally work this time? -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

openoffice pdf export font problems
Has anyone seen this in Fedora 10? I've got some equations (a few arrays, but the problem also affects '4 times 4') in a .odt file and exporting them to PDF from OpenOffice in F10 results in odd glyphs in place of the characters I'd expect.

One is manage a photo collection, KPhotoAlbum doesn't look as nice as f-spot, but its tagging abilities are far closer to what I actually want (people, location, custom categories). The other is be able to export web albums and I have a slight preference for static html to LAMP for that because then I can put them on CDs and they are simpler to transfer between webhosts. I currently use JAlbum for that, but it's quite heavily based on putting albums into folders whereas a better solution for me would be to create albums based on tags. JAlbum can create beautiful albums http://jalbum.net/browse/featured/album/94706/ so if I can get them talking to each other that would be great. It also does a few useful things like allow picture metadata to be included in the page. KPhotoAlbum's built-in HTML generation is coded into the application, so I'd have to patch it and run my own build to make changes. Alternatively the kibiplugins for HTML generation are done with XSLT and CSS, so there's a degree of flexibility there, though they don't seem to get much information passed from KPhotoAlbum itself. Both currently produce very plain albums, the kibiplugins exports produce albums called 'unnamed collection' or something along those lines. The Perl module sounds interesting, I write quite a lot of Perl so I can probably do something with that. If anyone has photo management software they use that generates good html albums I'd like to give it a try, otherwise I'm happy to have a bit more of a play with KPA myself to see if it can be persuaded to do what I want. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

The same people wheel out doom and gloom about proprietary drivers every time Nvidia especially is mentioned and it really becomes nothing more than noise. Ideally yes we'd avoid them, but I have had only minor problems with the Nvidia drivers through three generations of chipsets and if I need to report a kernel bug I can always go back to the nv driver to do it (and maybe that will solve the problem, in which case Nvidia get to hear about it). Warnings about particular hardware or software are much more useful, especially when someone has specifically asked for them.

current state of ati graphics
Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and for the past few iterations have gone with Nvida, mostly because they provided a working linux driver with 3D acceleration; most people I knew with ATI chipsets had problems with their drivers at one time or another (and for a long time only older cards were supported). Since AMD have apparently released the specs needed to write an open driver for them I thought it might be worth supporting them this time around, but I'm not sure what the current state of ATI support looks like. I'd guess there has been long enough for an accelerated driver to make it into the kernel, but I see that there is also a recent release of their proprietary driver. What are people's recent experiences with ATI? I wouldn't be looking for the highest end card, just something that can happily run compiz and flash videos 1280x1024. The nvidia I'm considering are around the 8500 / 9400 mark.

I'll have to try the old 'turn off encryption' trick too, however the card is associating with the AP, this can be seen in both the NM output and if I watch with iwconfig while doing either NM or ifup type connections. That doesn't rule out encryption problems, but I have seen NM unable to get DHCP leases in the past F7/F8 on open networks <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242469> (different machine and wireless controller). Incidentally, I'm not using wpa_supplicant either, this is a WEP encrypted network. I have tried starting the service though, but not explicitly configuring it beyond anything that might be done by system-config-network. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
F10 not connecting to wireless
Hi, I'm finally installing Fedora 10 x86_64 to replace a rather creaky Fedora 6, and I can't connect to my wireless router. I was actually looking forward to this working properly, as I had tried the Fedora 9 x86_64 live cd previously and it Just Worked (TM). But in F10, both x86_64 and i686, NetworkManager fails to get an IP. Watching with iwconfig while it's trying to connect I can see that the access point is associating okay, but then it gives up trying to get a DHCP lease. I've attached stderr from NM running in no-daemon mode under both F9 and F10 64 bit. Unfortunately I had a go at disabling NM and using the old system-config-network approach too and this no longer works either. Any suggestions? NIC is a Ralink rt2500. Unfortunately simply going with F9 isn't an option with F11 imminent.

Other teachers that seldom use their laptops, brought it to school only to find out that they cannot use the wireless network because it has a new key that they need to put in to be able to use it. This happened without warning and some of my colleagues are mad. I do not know what to tell them. I wish I knew more about wireless networking. While I sympathize with their plight, in this regard, I do have note that were I the networking supervisor, my sympathy would be limited. I imagine that this person would have sent out numerous notices that they would be implementing wireless encryption before doing so...as would be standard practice (I could be wrong...this person may not have done so, but I doubt that to be the case). Given that a responsible person would have left important passwords with someone who wasn't away on holiday this might not be the case. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
