How to run a php script which contains a pdf
I was trying to read an online tool catalogue, and noticed a PDF button at the bottom of the webpage. Clicked on it, and it opened the dialog box to download. What has been downloaded though is a .php script (27.3MB). The properties shows that it contains a pdf document, but I've no idea how to run it, open it, or whatever needs to be done, to get to see the PDF. Any suggestions folks.

I am starting a new thread because a lot of information has changed since my original thread. -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1 Hi Bill. I did a whole bunch of googling about your problem with the sound, and did find this on the v4l wiki for DVB. See below for link, etc. http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Cx88_devices_%28cx2388x%29 The suggestion is to load the following module, which affectively will create another soundcard for capture from the TV card. modprobe cx88-alsa For me, that also installed the cx88 module, and another bunch of modules related to v4l. As I don't have your TV card, or any TV card on this machine, I suspect the only extra modules you will see in lsmod is cx88, and cx88-alsa. You may now see 2 cards listed from the following command. cat /proc/asound/cards If by some miracle you do, alsamixer as below should access controls for the second card. alsamixer -D hw:1(F4 again, if there are any capture controls) The wiki link above suggests setting an alias line for cx88-alsa, and an options line so that on bootup it's set as card1. Some modules create problems and try to grab card0, which would create a conflict with your onboard soundcard which is set to use card0. There is no /etc/modprobe.conf file in F10, and not being sure where to add lines in /etc/modprobe.d's files, I simply created a modprobe.conf file in /etc, so that I could place an options line for my usb midi keyboard, and it appears to work ok. I would suggest that you might do the same, and add the following lines to it. alias snd-card-1 cx88-alsa options cx88-alsa index=1 I don't know if the alias line will work for you, it didn't for me, but I don't have the TV card, so all the other stuff that your lsmod shows as being loaded, may be necessary for the alias line to work correctly. If after a reboot, the cx88, and cx88-alsa modules are not loaded, I would suggest adding the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, reboot, and check lsmod. modprobe cx88-alsa Also check cat /proc/asound/cards again, and see if 2 cards are showing. This is only a shot in the dark, but the cx88-alsa module may fix the sounds. All the best.

What other sound configurations should I experiment with? -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1 Hi Bill. I probably can't help much as my card is an Hauppauge WinTV Express. Analogue TV (antenna), and the card has an audio out for connecting to the line in on the soundcard. People keep asking me that. On a previous TV tuner I did need a line from tuner audio-out to sound audio line-in so I know what you are talking about. But none was provided with the Hauppauge tuner kit; PCIe is not supposed to require one (as I understand it) and my WindowsXP setup works fine without one. Anyway can you send the output from the following before you modprobe the tuner module. lspci -vn lsmod(the whole lsmod please) The output is attached below. To autoload the tuner module at bootup, and as Fedora does not have an /etc/modules file (as debian has), try putting the line below in /etc/rc.d/rc.local modprobe tuner Of course. I got so carried away with trying to modify /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist I forgot the obvious. Not sure on the sound problem as I don't know how the sound is routed to the soundcard from your TV card. Open alsamixer as below, and press F4 which will show the capture controls. If your soundcard is an hda-intel one, there will be few controls showing, but maybe it's worth a fiddle with what's there. Alsamixer shows me PulseAudio, Capture with only one channel (Capture), and, recording off. I am going to fiddle. Also F10 has got pulseaudio installed, and perhaps pulseaudio has something to do with the lack of sound from the TV card. Do the sounds work ok apart from the TV card? Yes. I never got tvtime to work well, and use xawtv myself. I can't get mplayer or xawtv to work either. I thought it was probably all the same problem so I might as well keep hammering away at tvtime until something works. (I really haven't put an effort into xawtv yet.) Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1 Hi Bill. Apologies. I forgot to add the alsamixer command so as to bypass the default alsamixer screen when pulseaudio is installed. The command below will open alsamixer and show all controls available for your soundcard. Again F4 will show the capture controls. alsamixer -D hw:0 Your lsmod shows a bunch of modules loaded that are specific to the TV card. Quite why the tuner module isn't being loaded automatically, I don't know. It may be worth a look at dmesg, and see what is being loaded for the TV card. You may see some reference to the tuner module. If you still can't get any sounds after fiddling with alsamixer, it may be worth disabling pulseaudio temporarily, in case it for some reason is not able to deal with sound output from the TV card. The command below as root will disable it. yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio If your using KDE like me, kde-settings-pulseaudio will also be removed, so to re-enable pulseaudio you will have install both packages.

F10 locked up while installing dl'd updates
First I must say that the F10 freezup, was not F10's fault, but a continuing problem I have with my Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, as it happens with other distros. Back to the plot. While the updates on F10 were installing, the machine decided to freeze. No keyboard, no mouse, no nothing, except a static image on KDE, like a screenshot. I had no alternative, but to press the reboot button. When I've had this happen on Debian installs, I run apt-get dist-upgrade, and apt-get complains, telling me to run, dpkg-reconfigure -a. This fixes the problem with packages that were partially installed when the machine froze up, then running apt-get dist-upgrade again, the remaining packages are installed. When F10 rebooted, I ran apt-get dist-upgrade (I use apt on Fedora), but apt-get complained about dependency problems due to duplicate packages on the system. Apt-get gave the following errors. E: Transaction set check failed E: Handler silently failed I tried various suggestions from apt-get, like, apt-get --fix-broken install, with no success. After a serious session of rpm -e on the various packages that had duplicates, some 3hrs later, I had reduced the list of problem packages to zero, and ran apt-get dist-upgrade again, which now continued with installing the remaining packages. The question is, is there some command I could have used on Fedora, similar to the Debian, dpkg-reconfigure -a, which is able to resolve problems with partially installed packages, when you get a power out, or in my case, the machine decides to freeze up, while installing the updates.

That said though, I will install the package you suggest. Now I'm on dialup, and the problem I had where the machine froze up, was after downloading over 540MB of packages using apt-get. Last time I updated was 20090315, and the latest, where I had the problem 20090404. The difference between apt, and yum, is where they put the downloaded packages. Apt puts them in /var/cache/apt/archives. Packages from all the repos are placed here. Yum splits the repos up, and puts the packages for the different repos in separate directories. So for example the yum updates are in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages. I've tried the GUI way of moving the packages from apt to yum, but means renaming yum directories temporarily, so as to be able to copy and paste from /var/cache/apt/archives to /var/cache/yum/updates/packages (packages temporarily renamed to archives) There has to be an easier way than that on the CLI. How do I copy the files in /var/cache/apt/archives to /var/cache/yum/updates/packages? Nigel.

On both F8, and F10, the script appears to be identical. If I boot F8, I can press the i key once, and it goes into interactive mode. With F9, one press doesn't work, and sometimes multiple presses of the i key don't work. A bit hit and miss on F9, but it eventually works. With F10, I can't get it to work at all. All 3 distros are on the same machine, and according to rc.sysinit are using fastboot. Keyboard is ps2, and keystrokes are shown on the screen after the prompt to enter interactive mode, so not a keyboard problem. On F9, the first instance of prompt is at line 256, which is at the end of a few lines about printing a text banner. On F10, it is on lines 277-280, as below. if [ $PROMPT != no ]; then echo -en $\t\tPress 'I' to enter interactive startup. echo fi I don't see where the time limit you have to press the i key is though.

It seems that between F8, and F10, entering interactive startup has become more and more difficult, to the extent, that on least this machine using an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, I cannot enter interactive mode at all With F10. Anyone have any idea as to what may be the problem? F8, F9, and F10, all have the line usleep 10, so that perhaps is not the problem. The problem is that on F10, when pressing the i key, it's showing up on the bootup text screen, but it's being ignored by the rc.sysinit script, and no action is being taken. This isn't just an academic question, as when I installed F9 on the mobo above, there were bootup problems post install, and I needed to access interactive startup to disable some services. Having done that, the bootup proceeded ok. I don't mind hacking the rc.sysinit script on F10 to perhaps resolve the problem, if anyone has any suggestions. If not, perhaps a link to who I should ask to resolve the problem. Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyway, it turns out that I can, in fact, interrupt the boot, both by rapid tapping and by holding down the key. I tried both several times and I think there is little difference -- either successfully interrupt the boot sequence what seems like less than half the time. Perhaps interesting: holding the key down seems to make the boot process loop back to the Press 'I' for interactive startup again. I'm not kidding, and I've done it several times. I press I as soon as I see the instruction to do so and hold the key down while booting proceeds through Starting udev and eventually to Enabling swaps and Entering interactive startup. Then the next line says Welcome to Omega[1] followed by Press 'i' for interactive startup. Then Starting udev again on the next line and so on. [1] - I don't think Omega is any different than Fedora proper WRT system bootup. Hi Alan. Are you trying this on F10, because I can't get into interactive startup on it. On F8, only one press of the i key is necessary. On F9 one press does not work, and multiple presses are needed. On F9 it's all a bit hit and miss. Rapid presses of the i key may work, sometimes a bit of delay inbetween keypresses work. As I say, on F9 it's a bit hit and miss. On F10, I can't get into interactive startup at all. As I said on an earlier post, getting into interactive startup is becoming more and more difficult. F8, and earlier are ok. F9, you have do multiple tries, but eventually get there. F10, from my personal experience, is impossible. It's really weird as all the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts on F8, F9, and F10, appear to be identical. There has to be some easy fix here so that we can enter interactive startup in F10. Perhaps it's time to ask on the Fedora devel list.

Interactive startup on F10. Pressing I doesn't work
On F9 I had to press the I a few times to enter interactive startup, on earlier Fedora versions only one press is necessary, but on F10, I can't get into interactive startup at all. I have seen this problem for F10 discussed before, but no resolutions. Does anyone know how to enter the interactive startup/bootup on F10?

That's odd. I've never been able to see any effect from pressing I on any version of fedora or redhat. I always assumed it was leftover text not hooked to anything :-). Hi Tom. Pressing the I for Interactive startup has always worked for me since FC1. Mind you you may have to press the I more than once. With F9 I had to press it multiple times, before I was able to enter Interactive startup mode, but with F10 it won't work at all. I had problems with F9 and my Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, and needed to stop some stuff from being started, otherwise F9 would not bootup. the interactive startup mode made this possible. As I said, I did have to press the I multiple times to get into interactive mode, but eventually got there. What I'd like to find out is if there is some script being called during the bootup process, that asks if you want to enter Interactive startup/bootup. Bootup does it's initial stuff, then says press I to enter interactive startup, so something must be initiated to say press I to enter interactive startup. Is that some script somewhere or other, and if so, where is it? I'm not asking you Tom, but just trying to find out why the interactive mode on F10 is not working.

Nigel. huge skip of all stuff on previous post Having become a bit impatient, I set Selinux to permissive mode, and rebooted, which opened gdm with no problems, and I was able to login to KDE. Then I set Selinux back to enforcing mode, and rebooted, which brought back the same problem where, either X, and.or gdm wouldn't open. Pressed the reset button, and booted up to runlevel 3. Logged in, and su'ed to root, and started gdm, then logged into KDE. Next step, back into SELinux Management, and check the box Relabel on next reboot. Now I reboot, and Selinux does it's relabelling stuff, and now with Selinux in enforcing mode, F10 boots up without any problems. Why this bootup problem occured in the first place, I've no idea. It's now fixed, and booting up is better than before. Before the recent bootup problems, the bootup would get as far as starting X, and gdm, and for 2, or 3 seconds I would see text from the bootup in the top left of the screen, and the rest of the screen was filled with horizontal black, and white lines, then gdm would open. Since running the relabelling for SELinux, booting up on F10 has no problems, and goes straight to gdm (none of of the odd stuff displayed on screen prior to gdm starting). Just some observations, along with a problem resolved.

Hydrogen crashing desktop when opening. F10
As synaptic has been repaired now by an update, I thought that I'd try installing something to check it out, so installed Hydrogen, and hydrogen-drumkits, which installed ok without any of the previous md5 missmatch problems. Anyway, I click on the Hydrogen icon, which opens a page showing info about Hydrogen, then close that page. Hydrogen's small splash screen is showing the Hydrogen tries to open, but instantly crashes the F10 desktop, and takes me to a login screen. I've just tried it on F10's Gnome desktop, with the same result. Anyway care to try Hydrogen, and say whether it works ok for them, or they are getting the same problem as I am?

Tried various options for audio output. Jackd running, jackd stopped, and I think Hydrogen is still an OSS audio app (may be wrong there), but alsa-oss is also installed, so there should be no problem there.

Re: pulseaudio deeply unreliable (Fedora 10)
On Sunday 08 March 2009 18:38, Antti J. Huhtala wrote: Hello Nigel, could/would you please stop advertising remove pulseaudio as the panacea for all audio-related problems? Please? It is not as simple as that. I've been with Fedora since FC4 in June, 2005. I've had my share of snap, crackle and pop type audio problems and, if I'm not mistaken, you and I have exchanged a couple of posts around the subject. I have now an F9 system with one MOBO sound card that utilises the snd_intel8x0 module, an additional Ensoniq ES 1371 (CT-4810) sound card, and C-media USB Headphones. I want and need to be able to use all of them. In my present system, every audio application works flawlessly from hearing what and how you want point of view - and I'm using PulseAudio all the time. Many moons ago I was also dissatisfied with the emergency of PA (and there *were* bugs when it first appeared on Fedora). Now I'm very pleased with it, and I'll tell you why. I've temporarily installed another sound card, an SB Live!, into my box. Pulseaudio lets me direct the audio stream to any of the three, ie. USB headphones, the Ensonic card, or the SB card. (It seems like the mobo sound card is always disabled when an external sound card is installed.) Anyway, the fact that I can arbitrarily choose which sound card will be used to output the sound is something I could not achieve with ALSA. To me, PulseAudio was a definite improvement over ALSA - for my purposes anyway. Therefore, I'd like to recommend that you wouldn't be too eager to suggest removing PulseAudio to anyone with sound problems. For some of us, PulseAudio - if and when it works impeccably - is indeed an improvement. I understand that you are a friendly sort of chap who wants to help others. However, helping people to get their PulseAudio work might be a better way of solving their audio problems than single-mindedly suggesting them they should remove PA. Best regards, Antti I do not advocate the removal of pulseaudio to resolve all audio problems. When I see audio related probelms, which may,or may not be related to pulseaudio, I suggest disabling pulseaudio to see if that resolves the audio problem, and that's as far as it goes. if disabling pulseaudio resolves a sound related problem, then all well and good. If the user now has his/her sounds working, that is all that I'm trying to help with. Personally I have no interest in pulseaudio, as on all my 3 machines the sound works without pulseaudio entering the equation. I will continue to try and help folks with sound related problems. I do not believe that pulseaudio is necessary for sounds to work, and sounds worked with Alsa long before pulseaudio existed (FC1). No doubt this will start some flame or other, but is the way I answer sound related problems, whether on Fedora, Debian, or Kubuntu/Ubuntu lists. So so be it.

PA was working OK for me in Fedora 8, but ever since I upgraded F8 to F10, it's been a right PITA. It'll either continually stutter (e.g., when playing music often 1-2 times each track) or hiccough and crash under CPU load (firefox loading can kill it, for example). Indeed, with my wife playing 'listen', CPU usage is PA itself is some ~20% or more. I have tried the 'tsched=0' hack, but that doesn't seem to change anything (yes, I restarted PA). I've seen PA quit itself due to excessive CPU usage (I've taken to running it in an xterm to see when it's gone/what errors it's reporting). I tried the max cpu flag I found in the PA daemon conf. file, but all *that* did was just report 'Killed' when it died. It just seems deeply unreliable. I can fairly reliably stuff it by running realplay (listening to streamed radio) under padsp, and then launching mplayer. The only odd thing I see is some message about the ALSA and/or the kernel reporting a range of 22.0 to 22.0 db or something, indicating a bug in the kernel driver. So, what to try? Most googles of my symptoms lead to people who've had enough and removed it. I did even see one report trying to blame nVidia's drivers (which, regardless of veracity, is no excuse given that it was OK before). I'd *rather* get to the bottom of the problem(s), even if it's raising bug reports and patching for now, but I'm really just fed up with the thing now. If I can't get it going within a week, next weekend it's off the machine for good. I'm getting the stuttering, static, and crashes too, and periodically something will happen with pulseaudio that results in thousands (at least) of identical error messages appearing in /var/log/messages. I looked up the error (I can't remember what it is off-hand) and the pulseaudio guys are saying that it's a bug in alsa, and the alsa guys seem to be working on a bug directly related to that error, but the symptoms of the bug they're fixing don't match what I'm seeing with pulse... Frankly, I don't care where the hell the problem is, I just want my audio working clearly and properly. I'll post the error message when I get a chance, but even if alsa is the problem it doesn't explain why I've seen pulseaudio die between the time I start it in a terminal window and the time Banshee finishes loading so I can actually play some audio. Raymond Hi Raymond. Alsa had worked ok before pulseaudio entered the equation. Yes there are still problems with certain soundcards, hda intel ones specifically, but for the most part Alsa is working ok, and pulseaudio is not needed. To disable it, simply do a, yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, which will also remove kde-settings-pulseaudio package, if you are using KDE. Now see if the sounds are working better for you. You can always re-enable pulseaudio, by simply re-installing the 2 packages above, if you really want pulseaudio.

Re: practically no volume in f9
On Thursday 05 March 2009 00:00, Dave Feustel wrote: I'm experiencing almost no volume with youtube videos on f9. Pulseaudio says the volume is at max. Is pulseaudio causing this problem? Thanks. Hi Dave. I'm not too impressed with pulseaudio, but that aside, first try the following command on KDE's Konsole, or Gnomes Terminal. alsamixer -D hw:0 This will get you all of the alsamixer controls. There may may some control that may be muted. Look for, Master, PCM, Front. The M key controls the mute/unmute. Perhaps one of them just needs to be pushed up a bit. If that doesn't fix anything you can disable pulseaudio by removing the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package. You can always re-install it later, if it doesn't resolve the problem. I have seen pulseaudio being responsible for low volume levels, and when removed the volume comes back to normal. Worth a try.

Howto revert back to earlier version of rpm, as apt is broken with latest
Updates to rpm, rpm-libs, and rpm-python on F10 have broken apt. How can I revert back to the earlier version of rpm? I have the earlier rpm packages available in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages. The current installed version of rpm (apt broken) is rpm-4.6.0-1.fc10.i386 The earlier version of rpm where apt was working ok is, rpm-4.6.0-0.rc3.1.fc10.i386.rpm I tried installing the earlier version using rpm -Uvh --oldpackage package-name, and that was referring to the rpm package, but there were problems as rpm-libs, and rpm-python were at the latest version (dependency issues). Somehow, it seems that I need to revert all 3 rpm packages to the earlier version at the same time, but I don't know how to do that. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Many thanks for your suggestion, which has resolved the problem. Now to stop rpm being updated again to the latest version, where apt becomes broken. It's easy with Debians apt, because I can put a hold on the package, which stops it being updated. I have to use pinning on Fedora's apt-rpm, to stop packages being updated, as the hold option is not available. Anyway, I'll work through that problem.

F10. Synaptic unable to install dl'd packages. Anyone confirm this?
Synaptic still hasn't been fixed on F9. It will download the packages ok, but complains of MD5 sum missmatches, and is unable to install the packages, although subsequently doing an apt-get install for the packages, will install the already downloaded packages. The same problem appears to exist on F10's synaptic, although now there is no warning message about MD5 sum missmatches. Before I file a bug report, could anyone who uses apt, and synaptic confirm that on F10, synaptic is unable to install packages that it has downloaded. Probably not many apt users on the list, but worth a try.

Did you submit a bug report and the bug was/is not fixed or did you mean you have a problem with the operation of Synaptic on your system? FYI, I just ran Synaptic on my F9 system. Downloaded and installed 24 updates. No problem encountered. Well Synaptic is unable to install downloaded packages, both on F9, and F10 on my machine. I have posted a bug report for the synaptic problem on F9, but as I've just said, I havn't posted a bug report for synaptic on F10, as I wanted to get some confirmation of the problem first. And for your information, I've been using apt, and synaptic since Fedora Core 1, with no problems. Apt has had no problems on F9, apart from a little glitch (updates I think), but synaptic since F9 has been able to download packages, but not able to install them (MD5 missmatch problems). Synaptic can remove packages with no problem. there just appears to be a problem with installing them, at least for me, and some others that also filed a bug report against synaptic on F9. I'll find the bug report, and post the link. If synaptic is working ok for you on F9, this is a really weird problem that I have on both my F9, and F10 installs.

Tune started from rc.local plays to completion, before bootup continues
Experimenting a bit, I set up a one liner in rc.local, which uses aplay to play a tune which I put in /usr/local. See below. aplay /usr/local/Summer-in-the-city.wav I had to disable pulseaudio, by removing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, otherwise the tune wouldn't play, but perhaps further aplay options are needed to get the tune to play with pulseaudio enabled. The question is though. When the tune is playing the bootup sequence stops, until the tune has finished playing, then procedes. Is there a way for the tune, which is fired off from rc.local, to play without interrupting the boot process? Thanks in advance for any incantations that may resolve the problem.

Craig Hi Craig. Thanks to you and Andras for the suggestion to add the to the end of the line, which has done the job. Now the tune plays, and the bootup continues to GDM loginscreen, and post login, when logged into KDE, or Gnome. When the tune finishes, there are no problems with running sound apps in user space. Bear in mind, that is with pulseaudio disabled, by my having removed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, which also removes kde-settings-pulseaudio. Going back to the problem, where aplay would not play the tune on bootup, when pulseaudio was enabled, I played around with aplay options in /etc/rc.local to see if the tune would play with pulseaudio enabled. Originally, it had been as below with pulseaudio enabled, and the tune would not play. aplay /usr/local/Summer-in-the-city.wav Now I change the line above in /etc/rc.local, to the one below, and now the tune plays with pulseaudio enabled. aplay -D hw:0 /usr/local/Summer-in-the-city.wav The problem now, is that the tune is playing when I login to either Gnome, or KDE, and continues to completion when logged in, but after the tune finishes, I have no sounds in either Gnome or KDE, depending on which desktop I'd logged into. If for example I'd logged into KDE, I have no sounds. If I logout, and back in to Gnome, the sounds come back. If I then logout of Gnome, and back in to KDE, I also have sounds again. This has to be some pulseaudio related problem, as when pulseaudio is disabled, playing the tune above, which is started from /etc/rc.local, and continues post login until completion, there are no problems with playing sound apps on either KDE, or Gnome. Perhaps I'll ask on the alsa developers list, as Lennart (author of pulseaudio) hangs out there. Maybe he will have an answer. Thanks guys for your replies though. At least one problem is resolved.

I havn't got F9 booted up at the mo, but I got mplayer from either livna, or freshrpms, both now replaced by rpmfusion, where you should be able to get Mplayer. If you need to play encrypted dvd's, you will have to get libdvdcss (libdvdcss2) from either livna, or freshrpms (some legal issues stop rpmfusion from making the library available). I also saw some problems with including w32codecs package when reading posts from the rpmfusion list, so you may need to get those directly from the mplayer site, otherwise some stuff won't work. Vlc, Mplayer, or Totem should work ok without KDE. Totem will probably need extra gstreamer plugins to be installed ( gstreamer-plugins-good, gstreamer-plugins-bad, gstreamer-plugins-ugly, etc). have a look in Yumex to see what is available.

If you are seeing no messages about problems with the sounds, it's possibly a problem with alsamixer's controls, some control that has become muted perhaps. I know that on one of my installs, that uses KDE, the volume control in the panel has sometimes selected the wrong soundcard. I see you have 2 soundcards, one for the actual soundcard, and one for the modem. If you right click on the volume control in the panel, you can select which card you want the volume control to be used for. Why this should have changed though, causing you to lose the sounds is beyond me. It's worth a look though. As I say I'm not too clued up about Gnomes volume control, but you may find something similar there, if you are using Gnome. Apologies If my efforts are not resolving your problem.

Hi Daniel. I'm only referencing playing DVD's here, but vlc plays them ok on F9, as does Mplayer, and I've just got Kaffeine playing them as well, using the gstreamer engine. I'm using an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo with an ati pci-express graphics card. Fedora 9 has chosen to use the radeon driver for this card, but other distros on this same machine have chosen different graphics drivers. For example, the Archlinux install, which has the same vlc version as Fedora 9 is using the ati driver, and vlc works ok on that. I also have Ubuntu, and Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10 installs on the same machine. they are using the qt version of vlc (0.9.4 Grishenko), and both these distros have installed using the vesa graphics driver. Vlc will not play dvd's. I get the menu, and about a half second of sound and video, then the playback stops. I won't ramble on, but think this may have something to do with the vesa graphics driver on the Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid installs, and the vlc qt version. I removed vlc from the Kubuntu Intrepid install, and installed the older version of vlc from the Kubuntu hardy repo, which has vlc 0.8.6a janus (wxWidgets Interface). That version of vlc works fine on Kubuntu Intrepid, with the vesa graphics driver. On my Kubuntu/Ubuntu Intrepid installs, Totem, Ogle, Kaffeine, and Xine play dvd's ok. It's just a problem with the qt version of vlc (0.9.4 Grishenko). I've just rebooted to F8 on the same machine. Vlc is version 0.8.7 Janus (wxWidgets interface), and plays dvd's ok, and that is using the vesa graphics driver. Personally, I'd try downloading, and installing the F8 version of vlc from the rpmfusion repo, if it's still available, as F8 is now no longer supported. Just some observations from problems I've had with vlc on Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid, using the qt version of vlc, and perhaps related to the graphics card driver being used. Sorry if this is a bit of a ramble, but I've already posted my problem to 3 mailing lists, including videolan, but with no replies. I've fixed my vlc problem on Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid, by using an earlier version of vlc. The same may work for you.

Re: Anyway like to Test the java site below. F9

I am still puzzled though, as to why, on Opera, and Konqueror, if I set a path to java, as on my original post, there is no problem with the jigzone site. I don't know. jigzone uses LiveConnect which doesn't work at all with gcjwebplugin which is what was included with Fedora 9. jigzone is one of the test sites that Deepak Bhole used while working on LiveConnect support. What exactly is this Live Connect? It's the Java-JavaScript bridge that many applet sites make use of. Support for it first appeared in Fedora 10. In Fedora 9, the browser plugin was the old gcjwebplugin. In Fedora 10, it's the completely re-written IcedTeaPlugin which has support for LiveConnect. HTH, Andrew Thanks for the explanation Andrew. I'll have a go at installing the Iced Tea Plugin for F10 on F9. If it works ok, that's fine for my F9 install, but the same problem will still remain on my Kubuntu installs on this machine. I'll perhaps have to report a bug against the plugin on these. Thanks again for your input.

I give up. i thought I'd asked a simple question, but am not getting a simple answer. Upgrade to F10 is not the answer, and I already know that installing Sun's JRE will resolve the problem.

Apparently it is unhappy with the graphics processor on the DX4720-03.

I know on the machine I built with an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo, I have to use the acpi=off option on the kernel line to install, and also the same acpi=off option post install, in order to get the machine to bootup. Without the acpi=off option, the machine would bootup as far as starting X, then freeze, which required a hard reset.

Re: Apt-get really screwed up on F9
First, an apology to the list for ranting, and using bad language. I was feeling somewhat frustrated. Comments below to yesterday's apt-get problem.

I've had to do a yum update to update F9, which went ok, but what the hell has gone wrong with apt, and apt-get? It's hard to say from the output, but it could be that Livna's repo is broken in some way. This evening I booted up F9 again, opened up /etc/apt/sources.list, and comented out all uncommented lines. These were the ones for Livna, Fedora (everything), and Fedora (newkey-updates). the only uncommented was the Adobe one for flash. Then ran apt-get update, and no problems with the adobe repo, then uncommented Fedora (Everything). Another apt-get update (which took more than an hour, as I'm on dialup), but again no problems. Now I uncomment the updates newkey repo, and run apt-get update again. Still no problems. So now I uncomment the Livna repo, run apt-get update once more, and still no problems. This is all a bit weird. Yesterday apt had gone all pear shaped, but today it's working as it allways has done, with no problems. Synaptic doesn't crash, as it did yesterday. Synaptic still has the problem of not being able to install packages on F9. Some bug to do with MD5 missmatches, but that's another problem, not yet resolved on F9. As a side issue rpmfusion has just come on the scene, and where I could you apt with livna, and freshrpm's, but rpmfusion has no support for users of apt, but only Yum. As far as I know, both yum and apt use the same repomd format. The only thing that should be standing in your way is that the release packages don't have apt repository files. If you manually add the repositories using the information provided for yum, apt should work. I did try creating stanzas for the rpmfusion repo's, but they only partially worked. Apt didn't complain about malformed lines for the free, and nonfree lines, but only a few bytes were downloaded. I then added lines for the updates for free, and nonfree packages, then ran apt-get update, and got a lot of output regarding parsing problems. I'll have to ask on the rpmfusion list, and have already seen some replies in my inbox from others about this problem.

I have it enabled since FC2, and it's in KDE's panel, but doesn't open up on the desktop when logging into KDE, until Fedora 9, where it opens up on the desktop, each time I login. Comparing the Kget configure for FC2, and F9, I see that F9 has Show main window at startup box checked, but on my FC2 install (where I'm posting from), that box is not checked. The same applies to all Fedora versions up to F8. Quite why anyone when logging in would want Kget's window displaying on the desktop as default is beyond me, as it's only a click on the panel icon to display Kget on the desktop. Anyway, just unchecking the Show main window at startup box in Kget's configure has stopped Kget's main window being displayed on F9's desktop, each time I bootup. A bit of added info for any one interested. Firefox's downloader doesn't appear to have resume support, so installing the Flashgot extension fixes that, as it gives you the option to use Kget for downloads. Now I don't particularly like Flashgot, as it seems to have updates every 5 mins, and also insists on opening a webpage to their site, after updating flashgot. I've got used to just clicking on the skip button now, whenever I see new updates for the Flashgot extension. All the best.

I think that the problem is with the codec, which is for a sound component on a modem. There are some problematic drivers that insist on grabbing card0, and as the actual soundcard uses card0, the soundcard is not able to be initiated. You could check this out on your FC 7 install. In a terminal type as below, and you should see a different codec listed, which is the actual one for the soundcard, and would be why sounds are working on FC7, and earlier. If that is so, we now need to stop the Motorola one grabbing card0. grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec* The easiest thing to try is to add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf, if it exists. If modprobe.conf doesn't exist on F10, create the file, and add a line like the example below. options snd-usb-audio index=-2 You'll need to change snd-usb-audio for the driver that is for this modem. The -2 means that instead of the driver grabbing card0, it will use any other slot available, apart from card0, thereby allowing the actual soundcard to use card0. Type /sbin/lsmod in a terminal, and see if you can see the module for this modem. It will probably have an m at the end of it's name. If you can identify it, exchange snd-usb-audio on the example line above with the one you think is correct. Next, pray, and then reboot, and see if the sounds work on F10. Would you post me the full output from running /sbin/lsmod. It may help me if this problem shows up in the future on someone else's machine. Also would you say if /etc/modprobe.conf exists on a fresh install of F10, or whether you have had to create the file. All the best.

On Wednesday 10 December 2008 16:57, sfilippo wrote: Hmm. Isn't it the case that all normal multimedia packages require pulseaudio to produce sound, and therefore would be effectively disabled??? Hi Salvatore. That most definately is not the case. With Pulseaudio disabled, your sound apps will use Alsa directly, without Pulseaudio entering the equation. I have disabled Pulseaudio on all my Fedora installsF8, and F9, with no problems. I still have Pulseaudio enabled on a Ubuntu 8.10 install, mainly because I can't find out how to disable it, but the sounds are working ok. Pulseaudio appears to be usefull for setting volume levels for different audio apps that are running. As an example. You are listening to music, and you like too listen to it loud. You also have IM running (Gaim/Pidgin, Kopete whatever). Your volume is set to loud, and when you get a message from IM, you get a huge DING-DONG. With Pulseaudio you can set the level for your music app to high, and the level for the IM sounds to low, so that they are heard in the background, and you know that a message has arrived, without being a huge DING-DONG, which is likely to make you fall off your chair. I believe that Pulseaudio can also be used for networking sound to other computers in your home. How well this works, I don't know, as I'm alone, apart from my dog. The dog's not too good on the keyboard. Paws too big for picking out individual keys.

I can't see a modem module in your lsmod output. There appears to be a codec conflict between the Realtek codec (actual soundcard), and the Motorola codec (modem) one. Both appear to be using the snd-hda-intel driver. Ok. Let's go for this. I'm not too used to Gnome, as I use KDE, but let's first create the modprobe.conf file. Open a terminal, type su, then your root password, then type nautilus. You should now have nautilus open in root mode. Right click, and select Create Document Empty File. name it, modprobe.conf. Right click on the newly created modprobe.conf file, and select Open with text editor, which will open Gedit, which I do use a lot on KDE. Now add the following line to the open Gedit. options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 Click on save. Close everything, reboot, and hope for the best. Sometimes this stuff can be a bit hit and miss. Now the sounds are working. Yes? Sorry about that. it's getting a bit late, and I've had a few beers. probe_mask=1 will use the first codec on the list, and this will be set as card0. This should be the Realtek ALC660-VD one in your case, and the Motorola one will be ignored. Over to you, and all the best.

Re: Mixer settings get overridden after start of the X-server
On Tuesday 02 December 2008 19:20, Klaus-Peter Schrage wrote: This is a behavior (bug?) I had observed since F9, so I hoped it would be cured in F10, but alas ... Whenever the X-server starts, the mixer settings of my audio system (kmix, alsamixer) get lost to some rather useless defaults, e. g. I have to manually unmute the right playback channel. I have found out that the settings are restored correctly at system start: when I boot into runlevel 3, alsamixer shows any settings that I had made before. The calamity seems to happen when X and/or KDE come up. My sound card is an old but rather complex one (Terratec DMX6Fire 24/96) which has been well supported by the ALSA-drivers for years now. Thanks in advance for any pointers Klaus Hi Klaus. Just a thought. When booting up alsactrl restore is run, and restores the alsamixer settings to what they were when you last shutdown. Now when you login to KDE, Kmix can mess with these settings. have a look in Kmix, Settings, configure Kmix, and uncheck the box Restore volumes on login, if that is checked. I have found that to be a problem with restoring the sound settings correctly with many Fedora versions when using KDE. Just a thought.

If your using KDE, removing that package will also remove the kde-settings-pulseaudio package. You can always reinstall them later, but IIRC Pulseaudio has problems with multiple cards, but I may be wrong there. Can you post the output from a few commands, as below. cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version grep ^Codec /proc/asound/card?/codec* /sbin/lsmod | grep snd If you leave Pulseaudio enabled, alsamixer only shows a single control, but you can get to the controls for the individual cards (presuming they all show up in /proc/asound/cards), by opening alsamixer on the CLI, as below. alsamixer -D hw:0(that's for card0) alsamixer -D hw:1(for card1, and so on) You may need to set a model option for the onboard card in /etc/modprobe.conf, to get the necessary mixer controls to show up in alsamixer, or sometimes a model option is necessary just to get the card detected. Post back the stuff requested above first, as we need to know the codec that the hda intel card uses, so as to know which model options to try. My Asus M2N-X Plus board has sound working out of the box, but to get a CD slider showing in alsamixer, I have to set a model option as below. options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig (just an example) I do have Fedora 8 on the machine with this mobo.

And I have NDI where to plug anything that looks like audio into that ATI based HD-2400-Pro video card, but lspci says its there. Testing the sound for the audigy2 in system-config-soundcard works, but places like utube are silent. As is cnn et all since the last reboot. 2 questions: do we have a 'vu meter' that can be switched to monitor the various audio inputs?

The silence here is deafening. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Hi there Gene. I think I'd disable Pulseaudio temporarily, and you can do that by just removing the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio. Now done, but not done an x restart yet. Now I have, and I can now hear cnn.com's video's. Well that's one problem resolved. Any idea which soundcard it is playing through? If your using KDE, removing that package will also remove the kde-settings-pulseaudio package. You can always reinstall them later, but IIRC Pulseaudio has problems with multiple cards, but I may be wrong there. I believe you are correct at this point. Can you post the output from a few commands, as below. cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Audigy2]: Audigy2 - Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at 0xac00, irq 17 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 21 2 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfddfc000 irq 16 cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18rc3.

You mention that you have 2 burners, the Plextor one, and the Sony one, and when you had the dvd media in the Sony one, K3b couldn't find the media. That's probably no surprise, as K3b's config/preferences is no doubt set to look for media in the block device which is set for the Plextor optical drive. Saying that though, looking at K3b's settings configure K3b Devices. It says here. quote K3b tries to detect all your devices properly. You can add devices that have not been detected, and change the block values by clicking in the list. If K3b is unable to detect your drive, you need to modify their permissions to give K3b write access to all devices. end quote Looking at the Devices page on this machine which only has one optical drive, the line, System device name says /dev/scd0 (4.0.0). There is an Add Device button on the devices page. I'd suggest using that, and entering /dev/scd1, which may well pick up your Sony optical drive. Then (perhaps after a reboot) see if K3b will detect dvd media in your Sony optical drive. Just some thoughts, and only trying to help.

No info when mouse over files/dir's with Konqueror on F9
I've already asked this here, and on the KDE list, but with no replies. On KDE 3.5.9, when hovering the mouse over a file, or directory in Konqueror's file manager, I get a popup showing info for the file/dir, and at the same time, a line at the bottom of Konquerors window showing the same info. For example. If the file/dir is a link, it shows where it's pointing to. With F9, I have to right click, and access the properties to get this info, which if you're checking out the links on multiple files, like I am doing in trying to resolve a Java problem, it can be very time consuming. is this supposed to work on F9 KDE4, as it did on KDE3?

Hi Edward. I'm not sure what your looking for here. If it's just to autologin a user, there are are a few lines you can add to /etc/gdm/custom.conf. See below. # Lines below added by djmons [daemon] # Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged # in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=djmons The lines above will enable you to autologin one user. Just change djmons to your user name. See below if you have more than one user setup, and want the option to login as a different user. The autologin of the designated user will be delayed, thus giving you the chance to stop the autologin, and select a different user to login as. # Timed login. usefull for kiosks. Log in a certain user after a certain # amount of time TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin=djmons TimedLoginDelay=30 Ok. Assuming you have mutliple users available, but only have one set for autologin. Obviously it would be good to see the GDM greeter, and have the chance to stop the autologin, and choose another user. First change theAutomaticLoginEnable=true line to false. Then change the TimedLoginEnable=false line to true Obviously change tthe user name on TimedLogin=djmons to your user name. The login delay is up to you. I've just tried all this on F9, and it works as above. If you want my /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file from my FC2 install please ask, and I'll send it offlist directly to you. All the best.

F9. Mouse over files fails to display file info with Konqueror
On previous Fedora versions, and on other distros using KDE3, and Konqueror, hovering the mouse over a file, or directory, would bring up a little popup, and at the same time, the same info as on the popup would be shown on the bottom bar of Konquerors window. For example. At the moment I'm trying to resolve a Java problem, and there are many directories, and files which are symlinks. The only way I can see where the link is pointing to on F9, is to right click on the file/dir, and look in the properties. Obviously this involves a lot of clicking, when you just want to see where several directories symlinks are pointing to. Is there anything I can configure on F9 to get the mouse over file/dir behaviour, as is on KDE3.5's Konqueror? Thanks for any help with this annoying problem. Nigel. btw.

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/itunes-plugin Yes Thanks! Dan Hi Dan. According to Firefox on F9 using GCJ aka Iced Tea, when accessing the site above, I get a bit of stuff for att at the top of the page, but no applet. At the bottom of the Firefox window it says: Start: applet not initialized. By contrast, Firefox on my FC2 install, with Sun's JRE installed, runs the applet with no problemo. All I can suggest is downloading, and installing the JRE from Sun, if you want to use this site. See below.

Hi I post the same question, and the answer : edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf however AutomaticLogin did not work properly as released, your system will need to be 'yum updated' for it to work properly. Add the section in the file : [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=your_username If you can't yum update the system there is a workaround via a timed login : [daemon] TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=your_username TimedLoginDelay=0 GDM/Gnome changed it up some and it doesn't work like it used it, which I believe was F8 and below. F9 goes along with a new setup and new paramaters that can be used. Below is the URL that describes what can be used now, in which auto logon is no longer used, but you can still use timed logins as stated above. http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration -- Mike Chambers The link above is interesting, but I can confirm that Autologin still works with F9, by adding the following lines that I borrowed from /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf on my FC2 install. Before suggesting this to Steve Friis I rebooted F9, and was auto logged in to KDE. (never used autologin before) [daemon] # Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged # in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=djmons Steve replied (unfortunately sending the reply by way of the latest digest he'd received, so the subject is the digest one), saying that those lines work fine on his laptop, and was about to try it on his server, where he needs autologin to work. Odd that the link above mentions nothing about autologin, but have confirmed for myself that the above lines added to /etc/gdm/custom.conf on F9 still work for autologin. Just an observation.
