[SLUG] vncviewer version 4.x on debian/ubuntu
What's the story with running VNC version 4 on Ubuntu etc? For quite some time version 4's been available and gets installed in Fedora 7 for example yet the other camp's stuck on 3.3. Normally I wouldn't be too fussed but version 4's just so much faster on the wire. Gotta get around to trying the NoMachine (nxclient) - is there a version of it for Windows/Mac though (like just in case I have to use it). Or tell me which repository I'd have to enable to get VNC 4.x (not tightvnc, but realvnc... ie realvnc.org).

Im running kernel 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 Realplayer 10.0.8 I have this problem where I try running realplayer after Ive used the sound device through another application (usually through opera). I get a /~~~ 'Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.' \__ I cant get the machine to release the sound card. This is a recurring problem. At times I can kill artsd. Other times there is no artsd running. The only way Ive gotten my sound back is rebooting. But that is so reminiscent of windows I dont want to go there any more. Any suggestions? Well SOMETHING is obviously hanging onto the sound device. If you're prone to having applications directly access the sound device you're likely to run into this problem. There's a bunch of sound system LAYERS available for GNOME/KDE depending on what stage of evolution your system's at. Try esound-daemon (esd) on FC5. Then you change the apps to use this sound system layer which is sort of like a software mixer thus allowing multiple applications (and the desktop's bells and whistles) to access the sound device concurrently. The situation has drastically improved in Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7. You should also try turning off your GNOME/KDE's desktop sound effects to help eliminate that problem. I'm not an expert on desktop audio but there's a lot of stuff there to play with.. OSS, ESD, Arts, Jack, ALSA (and stuff like ALSA's ESD emulation), Network Sound System (or was it Network Sound Daemon?)

RPM Fusion aims to bring together many packagers from various 3rd party repos and build a single add-on repository for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. . Repositories and infrastructure will follow Fedora where possible. This means using Fedora's packaging guidelines (except for legal), Fedora's review process for new submissions, Fedora's VCS structure etc. It will contain add-on packages and not replacements in relation to the base package set. Whereby the base package set is defined as: RHEL/CentOS + EPEL or Fedora (Fedora 7+). That last para is particularly welcome.
