This is on my Fedora 33 laptop with default sound config (pulseaudio). Audio works properly (chrome, firefox, audacity, etc.). I also can run jack on it. I built the latest version (2.10) and ran it.

HP Omen with F28 chromium fails to run under optirun
I have a HP Omen laptop with Optimus (Intel + Nvidia). Bumblebee is installed and optirun works for glxgears and glxspheres64, however I can not get it to work for Chrome or Chromium. Any ideas?

Re: Video editing disaster
One suggestion was Cinelerra. I tried the GG version 5.1 and it worked. However it would play and not stop. Also, I rendered to WEBM and the result was purple. I loaded handbrake and it wanted me to erase some program and install a new ffmpeg. That fixed kdenlive which now works great on Fedora. I hope that the developers of pitivi and OpenShot can fix the stability issues. Another suggestion was bandshed.

Video editing disaster
I am trying out multiple video editors on Fedora, with very poor results and a ton of crashes. Anyone have recommendations on how to stablize one of these or can you recommend a video editor that just works (like kdenlive used to when I used it last a year ago)? I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully updated. The packages are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms. My main system is an older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it. The files I am testing with are: JPG images from a DSLR Quicktime from my DSLR (MVI_xxx.MOV), Movie from my Android phone x.m2ts Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD): .MTS KDENLIVE: My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files. I keep getting "clip is invalid". The terminal outputs: mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so (/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol av_buffersink_get_sample_aspect_ratio, version LIBAVFILTER_6 not defined in file libavfilter.so.6 with link time reference) I think there is a lib miss-match. PITIVI: Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running. Multiple core dumps. OPENSHOT: I really love OpenShot. I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed all the time, for example when trying transitions. I also tried the latest version via AppImage: OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with transitions, adding an MP3 file for audio, etc. Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to run one of these in a stable platform?

Thanks for a GREAT update to 23!
Thanks for a GREAT update to 23! For the first time in a long while, I had very few issues upgrading from earlier Fedora releases to the latest version. Over the weekend, I updated two computers from F21 to F23 with only a few minor issues. The F21 laptop was installed from F21 media a few months ago and the update was smooth except for changing the way the mouse operated -- I had to click on the window bar to raise windows (now fixed). The F21 desktop has been repeatedly updated since about F13. Most previous updates were painful. This time, I had to remove a few programs including google-earth, then the update worked seamlessly. (I have yet to test Xilinx, Arduino, Maple, and STM tools.)

Re: F21 partitioning circus
[snip] This was a good thread and is tied in with my experience this weekend. I had a very old laptop with F13 that had not been booted in years. I tried to load F21 on it using the same partitions (and keeping the old Windows partitions). Anaconda more or less let me try but gave me a warning about /boot being below the RECOMMENDED size (not that it would not work). F21 installed without any indicated errors. However I got an OOPS on first boot. I was able to boot into the recovery partition and inspect the /boot. The initrd for normal boot was incomplete and the /boot was full. I did NOT receive an error on install. IMHO, this was a silent failure (bug reported). Yes, there are those of us who have done interesting things with our partitioning over the years. We would like to continue to be able to manually partition, manually setup RAID, and do similar things.Its definitely not good for the average user, but some of us need it. However, we should see errors when things fail Cheers, -- Wade Hampton -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Best practices for SSD
Is there a current best practices for use of solid state disks with Fedora 20? I found an older doc for Fedora 14 and also the Red Hat 6 deployment guide, but both don't have a lot of details. I have a laptop and am installing a 120G SSD. Also I plan on updating an old CentOS server with a single 120G SSD (CentOS 5.10). Some of the recommendations I have found: - partition on a 1M boundary - use native partitions, not LVM (for TRIM) - mount using relatime (or noatime for CentOS 5) - mount using discard (or use the fstrim program periodically) - use EXT4 Other recommendations I have seen recommended: - move some temporary files to tempfs - move /tmp to RAM: /etc/fstab tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 - change I/O scheduler by adding elevator=noop to boot parms - reduce swappiness: /etc/sysctl.conf vm.swappiness=1 vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50 Thanks, -- Wade Hampton -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: rant of the day: installing fedora

Sometimes, after a lot of cursing, I have been successful, later coming back [snip] I concur with the frustration with the new installer. It needs further work. I installed F19 in a VM on my F18 desktop this weekend. It took several tries. After setting up the disks and selecting packages, it said it did not have enough disk space, but I could not go back to unselect packages (I had to restart the install). The installer crashed once as well. I finally just increased the size of the VM to 10G, took the default gnome desktop option, and let it run. I'll have to manually install the development packages I need. I'm trying another install today of F19, this time on Virtualbox on top of Ubuntu.

Fedora 18 and gphoto2
I am experimenting with gphoto2 and getting nowhere with Fedora 18.
Whenever I run it, I get the following:
gphoto2 -L
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB
device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Device or resource busy). Make
sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680,
spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the
device.
*** Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device') ***
I have tried as both root and a user, same result.
Running gphoto2 -a works and returns info on the camera, but that is
about the only command that works.
The docs on gphoto2's site are rather out of date, and google did not help
O/S: Fedora 18 x86_64 with all updates
gphoto2-2.5.0-2.fc18.x86_64
Camera is Canon 50D.
Note, testing on Raspberry Pi is mostly working so for now I am
controlling it via the Pi, not my Fedora desktop.
Thanks,

Upgrade disaster F16-F17 (planned to go to F18)
I finally decided to update my main home computer to F18. It was F16 so I had to use preupgrade to go to F17. After several reboots it is up, sort-of, on the F16 kernel. I have had the following problems. 1) Preupgrade crashed due to moodle -- removed and update proceeded. 2) After update, I still saw option for update to F17 in Grub and none of the other kernels would boot (other than dracut errors). I did the F17 update again and it seemed to fix Grub. However 3) I now have options for: 3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 -- booting this sends me to a command prompt in dracut 3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64 -- this boots but has issues I am currently running the mostly-updated system with the F16 kernel 3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64.

F16 Live install to 2nd hard disk, grub failure
On a Dell 745 with WinXP on the first disk, we added a second disk (SATA) and tried installing Fedora 16 i386 from the live CD to the second disk. During the install, the boot loader (grub) install was automatic with no prompts. After the install, the system still boots into Windows. Grub was installed on the 2nd disk, but must not have changed the MBR of the first disk. Toggling the bootable partition on the first disk did not fix the problem (no bootable partition was found when booting). Anyone have any ideas on this?

Mounting Motorola Atrix under Linux
Happy New Year.
I have a Motorola Atrix and an Atrix 2. Both have internal and
external SD cards. Plugging them into my Fedora 16 64-bit
both are recognized but only the external is mounted. I can't
even manually mount the internal one.
One post I saw indicated that CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
must be set when building the kernel. I am on 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64.
AFIK it is set in the .config as provided by the kernel source RPM.
On my earlier Fedora (14 or 15, i386), both partitions were
mounted. Both partitions are visible under Windows.
A test on an updated F14 shows only one is mounted, however.

Re: Developers responsibillity to Fedora Users
[snip long rants] The customers of Fedora are the users. If you irritate or frustrate your users, especially if the cost is $0 to move to something else, you WILL lose market share and hence mind share. Additional data points that might add to the flames: 1) I have a co-worker new to Linux. He tried F15 and hated it, then went back to F14. I believe WinXP/Vista/7 users trying Linux for the first time ARE confused by F15/Gnome3. 2) Other friends/co-workers have moved to Ubuntu for their desktop and only use RHEL/CentOS for servers (No Fedora). 3) It took me hours to get my F15 laptop sane including finding obscure settings to turn on the minimize in windows, and a working printer configuration application. These are the reasons why only one of my Linux-based laptops/netbooks/desktops is F15 and the rest are F14 or Ubuntu. I hope to try Fedora 16 alpha soon. I hope that most of the major objections to Gnome 3 in F15 have been addressed and that developers have listened to the complaints. I plan to remain a loyal Fedora user as I have used RHL Fedora since about RHL 2 or 3 circa 1995 (and Slackware before that). Open source is GREAT, but developers must remember that the cost (time and $) to move from one version to another is very low Cheers, -- Wade Hampton -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Re: Vote to extend F14 security updates
I agree with those asking to extend F14. Extending support will allow more time to fix F16 to better address the GUI issues with Gnome 3, hopefully.

Issues after preupgrade F13-F14
I upgraded my netbook from Fedora 13 to 14 using preupgrade. The update was not smooth and I am still working through problems (started Christmas week). I have the following problems and am working through them. 1) No check up front on disk space, update started then after a few minutes mentioned insufficient space in /boot (yes, I had only 100M). The preupgrade did continue after I checked the dialog box. 2) preupgrade checked for packages then started the upgrade. About 1/2 way through, it complained about a file it could not upgrade and aborted (moodle). I booted into the old kernel, removed the package and restarted the upgrade. 3) After upgrade, the new kernel has an OOPS on boot so I am still using the old kernel. 4) Lots of old packages were left on the system. I am trying to remove them but this is taking a while I am using package-cleanup --orphans ofile then editing ofile and feeding it to rpm -e $(cat ofile) The only problem I currently need help with is fixing the kernel boot problem The rest I have worked through. A fresh install would have been FAR easier.

Arduino on F14
I am trying to get some Arduinos working with Fedora 14 on both the messed up netbook (see previous post) and a new netbook. Both are running F14/i386. Prior to the update, Arduino 0.18 (tarball) worked well on the F13 netbook. On both computers, the user is a member of the users, lock, uucp, and dialout groups. The new netbook (fresh F14 install) reports a RXTX mismatch: WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch Jar version = RXTX-2.2 native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2 On both computers, root can read and write to /dev/ttyUSB0. The tarball version of 0.22 Arduino works as root. On the F14 new computer, the rpm version of arduino 0.21 works as well... Is there a way to turn off locking? Is there another trick to get locking working? How can I test the locking to verify permissions?

Preupgrade issues F13-F14
I just upgraded my netbook from F13 to F14 (i386). Can't say it went smoothly. Netbook is a Gateway (by Asus) with n450 and 250G HD. First, before the preupgrade, updates to moddle were failing. Preupgrade did not detect this when it did its check so when it did the upgrade, it failed after a few hours of upgrading. I switched to the virtual term, did a chroot /mnt/sysimage and then rpm -e moddle, followed by a restart of the update and the update finished. Second, after preupgrade successfully ran (the second time), the netbook failed to boot on the new kernel. It boots fine on the old kernel (from F13). I think I need to make a new initrd (saving that for this weekend). Other than that, it seems to be working well. BTW, loaded F14 i386 on the two Compaq netbooks from Best Buy ($200 on black Friday) -- other than the wifi, all worked out of the box. Got the wifi working using the broadcom RPMs as it seems to not be in the F14 kernel yet. Overall, thanks for a GREAT Fedora!

Re: Computing cpu's clock in cycles per second
Did you look at using the RDTSC instruction to read the
cycle counter?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Stamp_Counter
Sample this over an interval to get an estimate
of the clock frequency based on this counter.
__inline__ unsigned long long int rdtsc()
{
unsigned long long int x;
__asm__ volatile (.byte 0x0f, 0x31 : =A (x));
return(x);
}
I use gettimeofday() calls to check the wall-clock time,
usleep(n) to sleep for a long time (second or more),
and rdtsc to compute the cycles Seems to work
well.
Cheers,

Fedora Solaris 7
G'day. I am trying to get a very old Solaris 5.7 server to ftp data to a Linux server, but the Solaris box keeps losing networking after sending some data. I can't ping the Solaris box from any of the servers on my network. Could this be related to a much newer (modern) TCP/IP stack in Linux and TCP options? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for how I can tune the Linux server? I am not as concerned about performance, but just to keep the Solaris box from crashing (and no, I can't upgrade the legacy Solaris server).

Re: Fedora Solaris 7
I hope it's not hardware as I can't get service on the Solaris box I am trying to use ndd but the /dev/elx driver does not work with NDD AFIK. I have tried several TCP tuning options but still keep locking up the Solaris network stack: rmem_default=32768 rmem_max=65536 tcp_window_scaling=0 tcp_sack=0 tcp_fack=0 Thanks, -- Wade Hampton -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
