Is Skype configured to use PulseAudio? If I set Skype to use PulseAudio for the ringing device, it uses 100% CPU when it plays sounds, and for several seconds afterwards. This doesn't always happen the first few times it plays sounds, but will start happening after it has been in use for a while (it doesn't take long). Setting it to the ALSA device works. Strangely enough, I had this problem on a previous Fedora version (9? 10? I forget), but it eventually went away - after some software updates, if I recall correctly, but my memory is pretty hazy on this. Seems it's back in F11... :-( BTW, I haven't tried using PulseAudio for the sound in/sound out devices, so I don't know how that would behave. I have a USB headset that is used only for Skype. Brian I am using pulse. To be honest, audio has become a freakin' mystery to me on Linux - I feel lucky if anything plays at all anymore. (I've been trying to decipher this in hopes of getting a clue to my audio problems : http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2009/06/state-of-sound-in-linux-not-so-sorry.html) I had a real hard time getting the microphone input to work. So I have the input set to pulse and the output set to HDA Intel. That is the only thing I could ever get to work at all. I tried every combination, calling that skype testing service thing each time to see if it was working. A _lot_ of time doing trial and error. I do not see an ALSA option. Only the default (no workie), several HDA Intel options (no workie), HDMI (no workie), and Pulse (works). I think I even installed the static version of skype to get it work, then the regular version has worked since. This is a real mess. So, this might be interesting: what would happen if I just rpm -e'd everything pulse? Can I just remove pulse completely and expect anything to work? All I really care about working would be three things: mplayer (for mp3s and oggs and an occasional mpg/avi), flash (for hulu.com) and skype.

Hmm...I don't have as much problem with it, but that may be because
since I started using Unix around 1980, using IFS to parse records has
been a useful tool. Something like:
SAVIFS=$IFS
IFS=:
while read INLINE /etc/passwd
do
set $INLINE
(process fields)
done;
IFS=$SAVIFS
(Yeah, if it gets too complicated, shift to awk.)
Spaces have always been one of my pet peeves and I find this discussion
rather interesting. Spaces don't belong in filenames and they make
script writing a pain. I'm going to include a script I wrote a long
time ago to handle the problem of junk characters in music files. Even
buying music online from Amazon will get you spaces in filenames :(
I remember messing with this little script quite a bit before it worked.
One lesson I learned writing this was to use lot's of double quotes.
The script replaces spaces (and other things) in filenames. I just put
it up here as an example since it's pretty short. I seem to use it a
lot.
The main for loop is:
for i in *; do
fixname $i
done
Notice the quotes around $i. They're important.

the $1 is still unsafe, and cannot easily be made safe.

Fedora 10, Kernel without xen
Can someone please tell me how to get a kernel for fedora 10 without xen. I don't use it and don't plan to don't have any need for it. I have an nvidia graphics card and want to use their driver (because it is much faster). I've been using Nvidia's installer for quite a while, and everything was fine until 2.6.27 on Fedora 9. I stayed on 2.6.26 there because of this. I've poked around RPM fusion, but don't see a kernel there, either. I haven't tried their version of the nvidia driver. I had a system that was working just fine for me and now it's broken :(. Would I be better off just building the latest from kernel.org?

(At least this bug can be fixed because it is in the glue code for which source code is provided.) And the RPMs will also properly override the system libraries instead of braindeadly overwriting them like NVidia's installer does. Overwriting is going to break as soon as libGL gets updated in Fedora. I had a system that was working just fine for me and now it's broken :(. Because you used a broken installer. Would I be better off just building the latest from kernel.org? No, you would be better off using properly-packaged drivers. (You would be even better off buying hardware supported by drivers which are actually Free Software and part of Fedora instead of buying NVidia's crap and using their crappy proprietary drivers, but if you must use those drivers, at least use proper packages for them!) Kevin Kofler The world's not quite so black and white as that. Sometimes you got to work with what you got. But for the record, when I bought this PC, I set out to NOT buy nvidia, but ended up with one anyway (leave it at that). Took your advice and tried the RPM fusion packaged driver. It failed on me (as it had on my previous attempt to use it back on fedora 8 or 9, I forget which I tried it on, but I wasn't going to chase down this trail again). So I pondered it all a bit more and... ... realizing I'm on my own ... ... and sticking to what I know ... ... I built the kernel without xen, then installed the Nvidia driver. Maybe this will help someone else, so here's a synopsis: I first built the kernel from the src.rpm, then went in and ran make xconfig and disabled xen. Compiled and manually installed that kernel and modules after backing up the old one and making a grub entry for it just in case. (I should have changed the kernel version number. Grrr!) Rebooted to runlevel 3, and voila, no xen. Ran Nvidia's 173 driver script, it didn't build. Lot's of errors. Fixed a couple, realized I was getting in deeper than I wanted. Finally, I checked Nvidia's site; they have a new version 177 (which I have no idea now whether that would have worked on the xen kernel or not). That built fine. Then a telinit 5 and I have their driver loaded and running. Things are much much faster now. Next time there's a kernel update, I get to have all this fun again. :) But first, I'll try the 177 driver with the xen kernel. But not now. It's running. If need be, I'll add myself a '--without xen' to the kernel.spec and just patch the spec and configs next release. What a tangled web I am weaving. Sure would be easier if Nvidia would just release their driver under the GPL.

Does anyone know how to use this thing?
I've tried with several different drives, one out of my system that I
know is working right. Both IDE and SATA. I've googled around a bit
for help, but nothing seems to be this problem. I'm just missing
something basic, aren't I?

If you are absolutely sure that all of the dependencies are there and that they will work correctly, you can tell rpm to ignore dependencies with -nodeps. This is normally not recommended, but it is sometimes necessary. I've used it with good results hundreds of times. Then sometimes the results aren't so good. YMMV. rpm -ivh -nodeps openoffice.org-pdfimport-3.0.0-9.6.fc10.i386.rpm You can always undo it with 'rpm -e openoffice.org-pdfimport' when it doesn't work the way you expect :).

Re: C++ and FTP

Has anybody been doing with FTP functions? I will need some tutorials about it. Thank you. I would use libcurl, myself. yum install libcurl libcurl-devel Look at the examples in /usr/share/doc/libcurl-devel-7.18.2, particularly ftpget.c and ftpupload.c. They are in C, but the headers have al the functions wrapped appropriately with #ifdef __cplusplus stuff.

Problem building kernel
Hi, I'm trying to rebuild my kernel before I do some patching to it, and I'm running into an error. I've downloaded the src.rpm and installed it $ rpm -i kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.src.rpm cd to my SPECS and run $ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec (in my case, uname -m is x86_64) After a few secs, it bombs witht the following: + Arch=x86_64 + echo USING ARCH=x86_64 USING ARCH=x86_64 + make -s ARCH=x86_64 nonint_oldconfig scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c:1628: warning: 'input' defined but not used + make -s ARCH=x86_64 -j3 bzImage 'cmd_objcopy=$(if $(filter -S, $(OBJCOPYFLAGS)),sh -xc /usr/lib/rpm/debugedit -b $$RPM_BUILD_DIR -d /usr/src/debug -i $;)$(OBJCOPY) $(OBJCOPYFLAGS) $(OBJCOPYFLAGS_ $(@F)) $ $@' SYMLINK include/asm - include/asm-x86 cc1: error: unrecognized command line option -mno-red-zone cc1: error: unrecognized command line option -mcmodel=kernel cc1: error: unrecognized command line option -maccumulate-outgoing-args scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: -m64 not supported in this configuration make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs make: *** [scripts] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56204 (%build) Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

OOPS - fixed Re: Problem building kernel
I had CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-750-linux-gnu- in my environment. Grrr. It's building fine now.
