[OT] help with mplayer option to replicate aplay -D option
Hello,
I have a system based on Asus M4A785TD-V EVO mainboard that comes with
VIA VT1708S chip.
On this system I have both F11 x86_64 and F12 x86_64.
I'm trying to have dts streams working through optical plug that the mb has.
Some progress from F11 to F12, probably due to the alsa version into the kernel
(2.6.31.9-174.fc12 vs 2.6.30.10-105.fc11).
I formerly found another thread opened in 2009 in alsa-user or
alsa-devel where this command was referred as working through optical:
aplay -D iec958:CARD=SB dts_file.wav
- In my F11 this command gives no signal through the receiver
- But now in my F12 this commands succeeds!
My receiver has:
3 leds controlled by a button named mode: digital, pro logic, st
3 leds controlled by a button named input: line, optical, coaxial
When I set input button to optical and play the sample dts file with
the command above in F12, the mode led automatically switches to
digital, and a led named lock blinks and I get sound through
optical... hurra!
Also, the other leds referring the 5 channels switch on and I hear the
sound through all of the 5 speakers
This works even if pulseaudio is running, so that it is not the
problem (I suspected this when testing in F11)
Now the help required at this point: mplayer
I'm using the one provided by rpmfusion free repo
mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.x86_64
mplayer -ao alsa:spdif with a dts sample file gives no sound in F11
while it almost works in F12.
I use almost because when I play the same file as before, the mode led
doesn't go to digital, but to st.
I can then press the mode button having it switch to pro logic and
again to st, but not to digital
And the sound is not the same as with the aplay command.
Is there an option to give to mplayer to have it use the device that
in aplay is iec958:CARD=SB?
It seems I didn't find the right combination.
Or if it is possible to create an entry to add in asound.conf like
pcm.viaspdif {
something
}
and use then mplayer with a commad such as
mplayer -ao alsa:viaspdif
Thanks in advance to anyone available to give any light
Gianluca

Adding Classroom link to Get Help page
I'm looking for feedback on this thought. I was looking through at the Get Help page (https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help) and i thought adding a link/section about the the Fedora Classroom project (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/Classroom), would be a good addition to the page. Not only will it promote the great work these volunteers are doing in teaching basics and advanced topics but it is also an alternate form of getting/finding help by learning. I haven't made an example of what would be added to the page. I just want to know if people think this is a good or bad idea.

Re: help - recovering virtual machine
While I am still unable to find the original .xml files on the backup - I did find a log file in root/.virt-manager which has the xml definitions from when they were created. Then Tom's virsh define should now work if I copy the lines from log to a .xml file.

You may have a IPV6 problem. If you use KDE see if Konqueror has the same problem as Firefox. I have attached some instructions, follow the instructions on firefox , near bottom of page. If you have problems with Konqueror or performing a rpm -ivh http:// * follow all of the instructions. 1. Q: Networking (or DNS) seems really slow and fails often (Updated 2 January 2009) A: If Fedora 10's networking seems slow or you get frequent network connection failures (when other Fedoras or other OSes were working just fine on your machine), then you're probably hitting this bug. Here's how you can work around it: 1. Open a Terminal. 2. Become root: su - 3. Make sure that the dnsmasq program is installed (it usually is, by default, in Fedora 10): rpm -q dnsmasq If that says package dnsmasq is not installed, then you need to install dnsmasq, by running the following command: yum install dnsmasq 4. Now, you have to find out which network interface your machine is using: route -n You'll see some output that looks like this: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The eth0 there (the furthest bottom-right text in the output) is the name of the network interface I'm using. Yours might be eth1 or something totally different. Just remember it for the next step. 5. Now create a file called /etc/dhclient-your network interface.conf. For example, if your network interface is eth0, the file would be called /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf. You can create the file with this command (assuming your network interface is eth0): nano /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf Then make this the only line in the file: prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; And then save the file and close it (Ctrl-X then Y). If you have both a wireless and a wired network connection, you will have to do this step once for each of them. 6. Now start dnsmasq: service dnsmasq start And make sure that it will start every time your computer starts: chkconfig dnsmasq on 7. Now restart your network connection: service NetworkManager restart And now things should be as fast as normal again. You might have to restart the programs that you're running for them to pick up the changes that NetworkManager made when it restarted. 2. * IPv6 You might notice that your browsing through Firefox is a little slow on Fedora 10. This is because Firefox 3 has enabled by default IPv6 which causes Firefox to first resolve an IPv6 address and after the connection fails it switches to IPv4. To change this setting type: about:config and in Filter box type: network.dns.disableIPv6 Right click on it, select Toggle and change its value to true. Restart Firefox and you are ready!

Sounds like you are actually quite close. Once wired is working, the
universe of points of screwup gets a lot smaller!
My! I sure feel like if I'm doing something wrong:
Not really. Your ifconfig output shows that your machine knows it has 2
interfaces, and it appears that both are connecting and getting IP
addresses from the router (unless you have set them both static: you did
not say. But wired works, so now there is just the wireless setup!

You are not *doing* anything wrong, but something *IS* wrong.
Check that you have a /usr/lib/python2.6 folder. It should exist, as
should the config subfolder. Does on my F12 install.
If it does not, then
'yum install python python-devel'
And re-try the wicd install.
The other route is to go back to NetworkManager. It is already installed
and should work (in its inimitable obscure fashion).
Since you do not have wicd in the way, then:
chkconfig wpa_supplicant on
chkconfig NetworkManager on
Disconnect the wired connection and re-boot. Then 'system-config-network'
and check that the wireless card is properly defined. NM should find the
wlan0 interface, and connect.
As noted before, this works best if encryption is turned off at this stage.
(I cannot remember if network services are supposed to on, or off. But
NetworkManager deals with that)
You are almost there!

It sounds like your brother has an open system. Starbucks would also have an open system. It may require something more after you can access the Internet, but connecting to the wireless access point does not require your system to have a wireless key before hand. One other thing that can bite you when using WEP is if your system will not give an IP address until you establish an encrypted connection.

This will not help if you have MAC address filtering turned ON, at the router. At a console enter: 'service NetWorkManager stop' 'service wpa_supplicant stop' 'service ip6tables stop' With a WIRED connection ONLY: 'service iptables restart' 'service network restart' This should A) stop all the wireless services and things we don't want in the way, and B) start ONLY the things we want to see. Then: 'ifconfig eth0' should show, in the second line something like: inet addr:192.168.1.99 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 If not, try 'ifup eth0' then 'ifconfig eth0' again. If you have an address, start with 'ping 192.168.1.1' (or whatever your router's IP address is). That *should* work. Then try 'ping yahoo.com'. If that works, then the problem(s) are internal to the configuration of the programs you are running (ie proxy settings in Firefox) If you used a static IP, but cannot ping the router, then it is likely the wiring or router setup. If you get no address reported, then the network setup is wrong. (This is why a static address is useful for this case). If you get an IP address and can ping the router, but cannot ping externally, then it is probably the router's DNS setup. When the wired connection works, THEN you can try to set up wireless (and/or revert to a DHCP IP scheme). And if you ARE going to set up wireless then I strongly recommend wicd (at wicd.sourceforge.net) as a replacement for NetworkManager.

For this it helps if you use 'static DHCP' where the router parses the MAC address and delivers an address accordingly, triggered by the DHCP request from the laptop etc. Geoff -- Please let me know if anything I say offends you.

Network problems on new FC4 box - please help.
I had to replace a disk (the one with all of the home directories on it) on an FC3 box, and so I bought a new drive (particulars unimportant). To make a long story short, I decided to put FC4 on this box, and so I installed the new drive and put the root filesystem on it. I still have the old FC3 root drive and can boot to either for comparison... Under FC3, I have no network problems that I can detect; however, under FC4 there are two distinct (related? no idea) problems which have eluded me. I have tried looking up both of these in the archives, but have had no luck (some similar issues, but nothing exactly like either of these unless I missed them). Problem 1: network card goes to sleep. This machine has 2 network cards, both on-board. The 1GB card L(Intel 82540EM) goes to the smartswitch to tolk to the local network, and does not show any problems. The other card (nVidia nForce2) is a 100MB card and talks to the DSL modem. Periodically I cannot connect to the internet at all - or even ping the DSL modem. This happens irregularly but about 5-10 times/day. If I reboot back to FC3, the problem does not occur. Network configurations between the two (FC3/FC4) are as identical as I can make them. The first few times the problem occurs, sometimes retarting networking works, but eventually a full sys reboot is the only thing which works. Problem 2: slow local network. Under FC3 throughput on the LOCAL network (1GB lan) is very fast. Under FC4, the best I have seen is ONE transfer of about 1.2 MB/s - and throughput drops to as low as 50-75KB/s at times. Again, this does not occur under FC3 but does under FC4. Again the same setup as nearly as I can make it. No workaround found so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- william w. austin waus...@speakeasy.net life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ... -- 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

I've been running F11 pretty much since it came out. It worked well. I upgraded to F12 earlier this evening. For whatever reason it will not start an X session. I think the problem is that I was using the nvidia driver and kmod can't get an internet connection due to wifi not finding a network connection but when I change my xorg.conf file to use nouveau it doesn't work either. I think i could rectify the situation if I ran yum update but I don't have a wifi connection from the console session. How does one administer a wifi connection from the command line in F12 ?
