sound, amixer and pulseaudio
Hi, since I installed Fedora 12, I realized that I have no more an Analog Loopback available in alsa, which allowed me to route the capture sources on my sound card back in as PCM audio. I tried upgrading alsa-driver to 1.0.22, but nothing changed. The only option I have now is using arecord and aplay to simulate the loopback. Although this scheme woks fine, arecord / aplay just die from time to time (kind of randomly), with no apparent reason. This is the command I use: arecord -D hw:0,0,0 -d 0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r128000 | aplay -f S16_LE -c2 -r128000 -D default Another question is how to use amixer to control the volume of an application in a way that allowed me change the volume of any sound card installed on my system. Since I must specify the card using -c 0, for instance, if I switch the sound to another card using pulseaudio, I can no longer control the volume of this new card. Unfortunately, there is no -c default in amixer ... amixer -q -c 0 set PCM 80% Would there be a better way of doing that?

Re: v4l applications
Have you made a cvs request, so you can commit the spec directly? Not yet. Once that said there are few things I dislike in your src.rpm: - The original source code of fmtools-2.0 doesn't seems present. It is not on the site yet. (same problem as fmcontrol), fmcontrol just has a dead link on fmtools site. but I expect it to be present when the release will be made official. - You don't install with -p Fixed. - the desktop file could be bundled within the original source code and : X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.15 should only be added by desktop-file-install on %install - Requires: tk seems a big dependency for a simple cmd line tool as fmtools, Can you sub-package tkradio ?

When I was having issues with ath9k, I actually attempted to switch to madwifi out of desperation, and the kernel modules wouldn't even load (when built from source). Tons of missing symbols.

The onboard is the one which does not save the volumes. Every time I call an application its master and pcm volume go to the maximum (I see the sliders going to the top in alsamixer). This has been addressed by the PulseAudio creator. You can read more about it here, see the PCM is always 100%: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PulseAudioStoleMyVolumes In my lay explanation, Pulse manages the application volumes behind the scenes. It still remembers their values, but it doesn't use Alsamixer to set them. It tries to use the full volume range of the hardware (for better volume scaling), so it keeps every other software linux volume control at full volume, and scales itself internally. Otherwise, ALSA would say you can only use the lower 50% of the sound range of this device. (PCM at 50%). Now Pulse decides internally what volume level is best. Thanks for the explanation. At least 3 applications are not restoring the volumes: xmms, mplayer and audacious. The solution is using the alsa plugin, and not the pulse plugin in these cases.

You don't need to use any site. The sender's IP address will be

in the test message's headers.
Thanks very much for that suggestion.
I've looked at KMail showing all headers,
and there are a couple of IP addresses which could be the correct ones:
If your mail is going through the ISPs mail server, then it could
potentially
do things that make it hard to get the IP address you want.
You could note other kinds of direct connections to your machine. For
example
you could note http connections to a url at your machine that isn't
published or discoverable.
If the game is not to use any external server, then
you can use your own computer to ping back the address.
Just install an script in /var/www/cgi-bin/ in your local computer and
call ipget.pl from your remote computer. Then, you can email
your external IP to wherever you want:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
# ipget.pl- the script that retrieves your IP for you. Run this on the box

I do agree with you I need that option to make my mic work well but that option is no where to be found.

The implementation in tvtime is from 2005 and can only enable an analogue audio input channel. I have understood from the first time that you told me that tvtime does not mix sound -- except for the simplest kind of volume control; that ALSA is, or should be supplying the mixing. However, from a descriptive perspective, when I launch tvtime I get no sound. I don't think anybody on God's Green Earth would misunderstand what I am saying. What words would you suggest I choose to express that meaning? Getting mplayer working as a replacement for tvtime is not the point of this exercise. There is something clearly wrong with some drivers that are related to ALSA. My system's sound chips are not terribly unique. The whole world is going to the PCIe bus. Having a tuner that includes both analogue and digital is not something that should be difficult to overcome. As you point out, analogue is not being used. As you have also pointed out, this is not about tvtime but about enabling one of the under lying chips or drivers. Perhaps you can suggest another program that should be using alsa's analog sound capability (or lack of that capability) and I will try to get that going.

This will only produce output if you have the analog audio cable between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card. The reason you use the PCM input to control the CD volume is because the player is getting the data from the drive over the (S)IDE interface, and feeding the digital data to the PCM input of the sound card.

Did you follow the wiki[1] exactly? After just reading it, it could
use some more explanation but the necessary steps are there. The
additional packages you probably need are nspluginwrapper.i586 and
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i586.
It should just work. There is no need of either nspluginwrapper or
nspluginwrapper in F10 and F11.
However, you need flash-plugin 10.0.22.87, either
for i586 or x86_64, depending on your architecture
(and yes, there is a 64 bit plugin).

Fedora 11 on Intel Atom N270

Re: Orphaning Packages: audacious and dependencies
On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 6:04 AM, Michael Schwendt mschwe...@gmail.comwrote:
http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/audacious-2.0.1-0.1.fc10.src.rpm

The included tarball is stripped for Fedora, to remove problematic
files. Builds have been tested on F10 only. F11 is next.
What will be needed is a maintainer for the -freeworld plugin packages.
It shall be easy to modify above -plugins package and put back the
original tarball, the required BR and configure options, and a
desktop file for the MIME types.
The API changes must be checked with every package that depends on
audacious-devel.
Nice work.
I would create a symbolic link audacious - audacious2, so the previous
bin can still be called.
Something as
pushd %{buildroot}%{_bindir}
ln -s %{name}2 %{name}
popd
before the clean section.
I would also call the libs package libs2, so the previous lib package do not
need
to be removed during the upgrade.
Meanwhile I'm almost done with preparing packages for Audacious 2.
Actually I have it running here already, but whereas I'm 99% done with
the -plugins package I still need to examine/rediff the patches in the
main package. It's not something I've done in one tiresome block as I've
almost started from scratch, only keeping fragments of the cleaned-up
1.5.1 packages. Will publish them eventually prior to working on
including
them in Fedora.
Some random observations:
There are API changes, which break external plugins, GVfs e.g. and header
locations. At least audacious-plugin-fc needs an updated implementation.
There are patches that still need to be applied upstream.
There is stuff in the packages which I consider questionable.
E.g. mp3/mpeg/wma related MIME types get removed from the main desktop
file, but also WAV and Ogg, then a hidden desktop file is added in the
-plugins package which readds the removed types although the needed
plugins are not available in the Fedora packages due to legal reasons.
The 3rd party packages could add such hidden desktop files. And actually
the main player is useless without the plugins package, so why add a
second hidden desktop file at all?
Audacious 1 and Audacious 2 cannot coexist, since only the executables
have different names. I don't think it is worthwhile to create symlinks
for the old executable names.

Question about web applications
Hi, I submitted ampache (http://ampache.org/) for review, but I was told that it could not use any external software bundled in the code. In fact, it uses getid3, a file that seems to come from horde (horde/Browser.php), and some others. According to the weekpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampache) Ampache has been featured in numerous online blogs and technical articles. One of the more notable was the O'Reilly book Spidering Hackshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spidering_Hackswhich tested the security of online applications. Ampache was found to be immune to standard spidering hacks as described in the O'Reilly article, and it has continued that trend by focusing on security during its development. The Code Philosophy http://ampache.org/wiki/dev:philosophy listed on Ampache's wiki specifically lists security as one of those most important considerations during application development. Does it make any sense to fiddle something that has always had security as a prime concern? Any comment is welcome.

You could only do that if you have two *separate* *output* hardware circuits. Lots of cards only have one output system. They might give you separate volume controls for speakers or headphones, but both control the same thing (one output source), they just switch between which control to use depending on whether you've plugged a headphone, in or not.

and create a file ~/.asoundrc with the following contents:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
Of course, a sound application (vlc, mplayer, etc.) should not specify pulse
audio as the default in this case (it should use alsa, instead).
I think if we had an option in some menu for deactivating pulseaudio
in a similar (or better) way, we could avoid a lot of traffic in this list.
Although, I really like pulseaudio and have used it since the beginning,
some people seem to be unable to configure/use it appropriately.
Everything needed is in pavucontrol, and one only needs to click
the right mouse button of the mouse onto the stream identifier
to set defaults or redirect the output to some card, but maybe
some folk just did not realize that yet...

Re: I'd like to get rid of pulseaudio but ...
On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Delaunay Christophe christophe.delau...@thomson.net wrote: Hi Kevin, Many thanks for your interest to my problem. Sorry, I may not have replied as soon as you'd expect. This is because, after reading your response and others, I tried several things which were suggested to me. But, first, here's my problem: My PC is quite old. It's a Compaq desktop 5100 with A Pentium II running at 800 mHz, 512 MB of RAM and an Intel I810 audio chip. On this PC, I first installed a fedora 9 which worked like a charm until recently. On the gnome desktop, I launch the orca screen reader which I configured to say screen content through the ESpeak speech synthesizer. A month ago, after a yum update, the synth began to drop last syllables of what it had to say. For instance, Welcome to Orca became Welcome to Or. Yesterday, I upgraded the F9 PC to F10 in order to benefit from many enhancements of Orca and the gnome desktop from 2.22 top 2.24. As a result, I don't hear ESpeak anymore. I suspected pulseaudio to be the culprit after doing the following. (1) I booted the PC in runlevel 3, (console only). (2) I logged onto my account and issued the following command: script -c startx (3) After awhile, I could hear the login sound and then orca was launched and brailled Welcome to orca but it did not speak. Also the screen reader continued to braille, it did not say anything. (4) I logged out X and then, after the X server was shut down, I was back to the console. (5) In the typescript file which was generated by script, I read that some actions required me to have increased RT_PRIO or RLIMIT_NICE capabilities. It was suggested to add my user account to the pulse-rt group. (6) I did this by logging as root and entering the command: usermod -a -G pulse-rt my_login Then I logged out from root and back in to my account. (7) I started the gnome desktop but to no avail. Of course, I didn't have the warning I had before but always no speech. (8) I then logged in as root and tried to yum erase pulseaudio. Four dependent packages were also removed. I wrote down their names in order to be able to reinstall them all later. (9) I then logged out root and logged in back to my account and started the gnome desktop. This time, I did not hear the login sound but after awhile, I heard ESpeak saying Welcome to orc. The synth did not finish its sentence but it talked. Problem: This is the only sentence I could hear. Then, orca was totally frozen: no more braille, no more speech, just as if orca was deadlocked somewhere. (10) I reinstalled pusleaudio and its four dependent packages and tried to start gnome again. This time, I heard the login sound but no speech, just like in (7). (11) I finally tried to modify /etc/asound.conf and to create a ~/.asoundrc in my home directory, as suggested by Paulo Cavalcanti. This time, when I started the gnome desktop, I heard the login sound, then Welcome to Orc, ESpeak did not finish and Orca was frozen like in (9). Now, I realize that my problem may not be due to pulseaudio but what should I do to have ESpeak work in F10 like it did in F9 please? Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris I have never used orca before, but it seems to be working fine here with pulseaudio. The difficult part is to make she stop talking ... I also tried espeak, and it is also reading file names via command line. Did you make a clean install or used some kind of upgrade from F9 to F10? -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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 internal mic is generally a digital mic. Using alsamixer -c 0 should show an option to select the digital or the analog (external) mic. However, this depends on the alsa driver being used. The current stable version is 1.0.20, but Fedora is always behind. I can select the digital mic on my Dell Vostro laptop, but the sound is too low to be useful, and I prefer to use the external anlog mic, than spenting days on the alsa development list because of that. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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

Before you run the upgrade from http://host/gallery2/upgrade, you need to add the following symlink ln -s /usr/share/php/Smarty /usr/share/gallery2/lib/smarty If you have already run the upgrade, you can still just add the symlink and it will work. I only say to add it before, to minimize the system check errors. After the symlink is added, the upgrade system checks detect 3 files missing (2 documentation files and a jar file, g2_db2.jar) and 2 modified (Smarty_Compiler.class.php and modifier.debug_print_var.php). These do not seem to present an issue. As far as I can tell, everything is working after the symlink was created.

I suspect what you say is true since network printers would be picked up through cups browsing from the printer server. The solution is really to delete /var/cache/cups/remote.cache but the cups process has to be stopped, first. Otherwise, the same cache is recreated if cups is just restarted. This cache contains all of the network printers. Therefore, the solution is: 1) stop cups 2) delete cache 3) start cups Finally, I got rid of all these ghost printers... -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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

Is it necessary to backup the /proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt, directory to be backed up? Is it possible to backup /dev/sda6 partition excluding these directory(/proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt,) with partimage or systemrescuecd? Partimage will make a copy of the whole partition. You cannot exclude anything. If I copy the whole /dev/sda6 partition in a portable hard disk(250GB),then after reinstalling minimum fedora 10 and copy-paste that /dev/sda6 from the portable hard disk to the newly installed fedora 10's root (/) directory ,will it work ? In fact, you do not need to reinstall. You can use / and /boot (if it is in its own partition) from your backup. Generally, you just need to adapt grub.conf, fstab in some cases and/or run mkinitrd to recreate the initial initrd img. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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
Re: Backing up system

There typing partimage got the partimage window. Giving a filename like backup the backing up process starts. After a while it prompts that there is no space left. The current directory was like this: [r...@localhost/root]# What should I do then? Where should I save the backup file? Can anyone give any idea? You have two options: 1) Save the image on another computer, in your LAN, running a partimage-server. 2) Mount a different partition (e.g., /dev/sda5) on the same computer and save the image there. systemrescuecd has an empty directory you can use as a mount point for this purpose. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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

Re: Can jackd and pulseaudio coexist?

(It should theoretically work by enabling JACK's PortAudio backend now that PortAudio works with PulseAudio, but you'd be going through 4 layers JACK-PortAudio-ALSA-PulseAudio, so it isn't quite ideal for JACK's real-time requirements. And I have yet to test this - Fedora's JACK currently isn't built with PortAudio enabled.) Well, I just checked and JACK's PortAudio backend uses the ancient PortAudio v18 API, so at this point it might actually be less work to just fix the native ALSA support to support non-mmap access (and thus PulseAudio) like I already did for PortAudio. (I may have a try at it if I get some time, though I don't expect all that much interest in allowing JACK to work on top of PulseAudio.) And in the upcoming (and API-incompatible - looks like that will be fun) JACK 2, PortAudio appears to be only supported on Window$ (though it's finally v19). Another possibility may be to write a native PulseAudio driver. For you as a user, the PulseAudio on top of JACK setup is certainly the best solution as it works now. It's also the way JACK gets the lowest possible latency. The drawback is that the sounds from most common desktop apps will be routed through both PulseAudio and JACK and that it requires reconfiguration because Fedora is set up for PulseAudio by default, whereas JACK on top of PulseAudio would ideally just work (but right now it doesn't work at all). Kevin Kofler Bummer. So in a nutshell, I cannot use RoseGarden until all of these issues (PA) are fixed/resolved, right? I could perhaps disable PA and enable JACK to use RG, but then might run into problems trying to get PA back, probably not worth the hassle. I think I will pass for now. I was trying to find a MIDI player that works and kmid just does not work (cannot figure it out), so... I think I will postpone it for now. I am not going into this discussion, but I have been using rosegarden with jack in F10 for quite some time with no problem at all, and a very low latency. qjackctl - qsynth - rosegarden This is the contents of my ~/.jackdrc /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r44100 -p128 -n2 -D -C/dev/dsp -Phw:0 -i2 -o2 -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ -- 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

Dunno whether Pan was really involved at all; but I do know I just did another yum update earlier today. It works for me when I login as a different user or use sudo.
