Re: Strange bug in F14: gnome-settings-daemon, Firefox ramp up to high CPU usage
On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 3:52 PM, Adam Williamson awill...@redhat.com wrote: Hi, folks. Before I file a bug on this I was wondering if anyone else had seen it and hoping to get a better idea of exactly what's happening. Lately, on this machine - a laptop running F14 - it seems that every so often, gnome-settings-daemon, firefox and one other process (I forget which, something else that's part of GNOME I think) suddenly go crazy, pegging out the CPU (which is dual-core) entirely and also showing huge virtual size (virt column in top) - in the 60-70GB range. One thing that sometimes triggers this is, sometimes, trying to play some music in audacious; usually it works, but sometimes it returns 'input/output error', PulseAudio crashes, and this bug happens immediately. But sometimes the same problem with gnome-settings-daemon and firefox happens without being triggered by loading music. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what's going on? I've seen this issue earlier in the Fedora release cycle. I saw is with g-s-d plus a bunch of random apps including (from mem) firefox, evolution, pidgin etc. This is a dual core i5 with hyperthreading (OS sees 4 cpus). It seemed that it was mostly due to constraints on RAM and I think it was made worse by the fact that I run a LUKS encrypted disk as it made matters worse when things had to swap. The problem improved greatly when I went from 2 to 3 gig of ram and I rarely see it now I have 4 (not that its an excuse), I don't think the problems fixed.

[Test-Announce] Call for reviewing TCMS use cases and comparison!
Greetings! Wiki workflow/use cases are reorganized and grouped by general and main test events(runs) use cases. The general cases cover the basic uses of wiki, and the events cases covers the detailed certain steps for organizing the events. Please review it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rhe/tcms_use_cases Meanwhile, Wiki and Nitrate comparison is also listed and grouped by above use cases. I've listed as many features as I can think out for comparison. Please have a look and see if any features are missed. You can review it by the use case you're familiar with if reviewing all of them is tough, but be aware that features compared in former use cases are not listed in later cases again to avoid overlaps: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rhe/tcms_Comparison Ticket#152[1] is currently set up for tracking this event. Feel free to add comments or discuss it here. Note: the feedback deadline is Jan 21, the end of this week. After that date, I'll move forward to the next phase. Waiting for your feedback!

Please test: gpodder 2.12
Hi testers, The gpodder 2.12 update has recently landed in updates-testing. If there are any gPodder users on this list, I'd appreciate it if you could test the packages. This update jumps four minor versions, but most of the changes are bug fixes. Even so, it'd be nice to know that the new packages work for others as well. F-14: http://ur1.ca/2whz5 F-13: http://ur1.ca/2wi04 The updates shouldn't break gPodder's sqlite database, but to be sure, you can backup your database and podcasts by running gpodder-backup --create archive.gpo.tar.gz before installing the updates. If you have an MTP device, please test the MTP sync feature as well, the new gpodder package pulls in python-mtp as a dependency. Thanks! -- Ville-Pekka Vainio -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
Re: audio skipping/pure sound quality
I have experienced effects like those you described when Pulseaudio (or perhaps something else in the audio-processing chain) must do sample-rate conversion, such as from 44.1 KHz to 48KHz, to drive my USB speakers. Sox has been an effective solution for me. Try play (a link to sox that denotes output to sound hardware instead of a file) to learn whether sox may offer superior sample-rate conversion that avoids the problems you hear. There are probably a handful of tools that will display information about sound devices. Audacity has a convenient one: Help - Audio Device Info that displays supported sample rates. For example, I see: Default capture device number: 13 Default playback device number: 13 == Device ID: 0 Device name: ALSA: Bose USB Audio: USB Audio (hw:0,0) Input channels: 0 Output channels: 6 Low Input Latency: -1.00 Low Output Latency: 0.010667 High Input Latency: -1.00 High Output Latency: 0.042667 Supported Rates: 48000 == Output like this may display a needed sample rate for your USB sound device (48000 in my case). If you use sox to convert a file to the target rate before you play it, and it then sounds good, this confirms the problem involves resampling. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
