Re: FC11 Freezes at udev on boot
2009/7/29 Mick M. off_b...@yahoo.com: ya it hangs on udev for several minutes ... may be 3 to 4 min. and then boots ok. But it happened after getting update , do you have any idea/tweak to solve it ??. or it is just a BUG ? It did this to me too. (F11x64) Turns out my BIOS thought I had a floppy drive. I set it none/disabled and now it boots normally again. This did not happen before the update. It's the same here. After the recent update I noticed that it takes a long time in the udev stage putting out some messages about fd0.

Weird sound issues after updating to F11
After updating from F10 to F11, I have some weird issues with sound. The funny thing is that generally the sound works, only some specific programs have problems. Those problems can best be described as loud noise that happens in the middle of the played music of some programs. Affected are for example: Supertux Supertuxcart Warzone2100 UT2004 Not affected are: Rhythmbox MPlayer Vultures Claw World of Goo Prey So it is not only Closed Source that is affected but also Open Source games that came with F11. Is there anything I can do? I'm not sure how to bugzilla those issues, so I haven't yet. As an aside, I have not managed to get sound in Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory to work in F10 or F11. Any ideas?

Re: F10 and Pulseaudio
Replying to myself as I found something out... 2008/12/11 Niels Weber nathelb...@gmail.com: So it seems that Pulseaudio is working after all... now I need only to find out how to get surround sound. After looking into the PulseAudio FAQ, that was quite easy: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#IhaveasurroundsoundcardbutPulseAudiousesjustthefrontspeakers To enable all the channels, edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf: uncomment the default-sample-channels line (i.e. remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line) and set the value to 6 if you have a 5.1 setup, or 8 if you have 7.1 setup etc. After doing the edit, restart pulseaudio. That was all. Really easy compared to what I had to do back then to get surround working with alsa alone on one of the older Fedoras (which took me weeks). Now, surround works even in Prey - which it didn't with my previous setup (without PA under F8).

Re: F10 - something positive to say!
2008/12/23 Alastair Neil ajn...@gmail.com: I have to agree that this is one of the most solid Fedora releases in a long time. Certainly since selinux was intergrated it's the first one in which I have not had to disable it (so far) for one reason or another. Yes, even with some small quirks here and there, F10 really rocks. What I especially like is the new booting process as that makes my machine boot in a third of the time that older Fedoras used.

Re: Experience with x86_64-only (no i386) in F10?
2008/12/8 Steve Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1. In prior versions of Fedora there was no provision for doing a 64-bit-only installation. You had to do a standard x86_64 install, then erase all the i386/i686 RPMs. Is that still the case, or can I opt at installation to only install x86_64 and noarch packages? I did a 64bit install and there don't seem to be any 32bit binaries (if you don't install them by hand, they are in the repositories). 2. What functionality will I be giving up to go 64-bit-only? In times past the immediate answers to this was Flash Player and the Sun JVM browser plug-in. Between the alpha 64-bit Flash Player (which I've been successfully using for 3 weeks) and IcedTea, these drawbacks seem to have been resolved. Anything else? All 32bit binary programs you want to run will not work. Mostly that will be commercial games, but if you don't use those...

F10 and Pulseaudio
Hi all, what is the state of Pulseaudio in F10? On my previous installation (F8) I disabled PA after a short test as there where to many problems with it. On my fresh install of F10 I have it currently enabled, thinking that it should be more mature by now. At first it had the wrong soundcard as a default device, this was easily changed and is no real bug (although perhaps the installer should ask which soundcard should be used if there is more than one). Rhythmbox and mplayer now have sound (but only stereo instead of 5.1 it seems), so that's fine. All games have no sound though, even those installed from the Fedora repository (for example Battle for Wesnoth). I can understand if third-party software still has problems with PA, but shouldn't at least the games that are shipped with the distribution work with the default sound setup? How to fix this? Uninstall PA again?

F10 and beagle?
Hi all, I did a fresh install of F10 on a box that I also run F8 on (on a different hd). So far, the install went smooth and the experience with the new Fedora is very good. there are a few small problems though: One problem seems to be beagle. It wasn't installed by default but using packagekit to get it was simple. Now, the search window opens when I press the assigned search key, but it always tells me that the search service isn't running. Clicking on run seems to start the service, but half a minute later it has again stopped. The same happens, when I start beagled from the command line. What would be the right way to get beagle running again? Or has that been replaced by some other utility?
