Moblin is dead, Fedora on netbooks?

2010-02-15 Thread jack craig
Hi Folks,

I regret to report that Moblin, my hope for a mobile linux, is dead.

My hw is Asus, EeePC 1000, 1GB ram, 40GB disk.

Anyone running FC (11 maybe?) on hw like this?

Thx, jackc...

 Hi Jack,

 (1) Curious about why you say Moblin is dead? I missed the announcement!

see maemo.org


 (2) I'm writing this on a EeePC 1000HA (1GB, 160GB - but I'm using less
 than 20G) running F12 very nicely.

excellent! thx!

Re: Moblin is dead, Fedora on netbooks?

2010-02-16 Thread jack craig
Wow! i fired this email off when i got home last night and it stirred quite an 
exchange.

however, a bit of background  will show my reaction is not a knee-jerk  on my 
part,
just the culmination of a path turning sour.

i used to work for danger before M$ bought it out. i enjoyed the mobile 
sidekick platform
we provided despite its targeted youth market. its use for google/email on the 
go was Great!
this is what i must have in my truck.

when i later got laid off last spring, i decided to look for a way to use Linux 
in a similar portable
form factor. after some looking about, the hot setup seemed to be a netbook and 
moblin.

i chose moblin as i reasoned that backed by Intel  (motivated by atom sales) 
should be a solid
platform/open src steward to begin on. i selected a product direction of OBD to 
USB reasoning
there may be a few gearheads in the fedora crowd that should also enjoy a 
window to their
automotive computers.

the project kept me busy all summer while i looked for new work. however, i was 
less than
overwhelmed by the moblin desktop.

in a landscape precious screen, they dedicate 1/3 to twitter/social 
networking(waste),
1/3 to the last jpg's i've looked at (yawn), and a paltry 1/3 for my desktop 
with
icons  calendar space. 1/3 is not enough.

i really just want a mobile fedora; i have it at home  work, i use it, i like 
it.

as for meetoo, err, meego, its just another social centric os trying to compete 
with M$
products yet to be released. i hate a deployment that hides all the behind the 
scenes stuff i
want to know about.

moblin died for me because it failed to live up to my needs.

my next posts will focus on adapting fc11 to a small form factor.

thx again to all that reported using fc on the eeepc.

as for meego, you and the kids have fun, i got work to do.

 Hi Folks,

 As someone alse already pointed out, Moblin is not dead.

 What is happening is that Moblin (intel-based) and Maemo (Arm-based) are
 merging to create MeeGo.

 MeeGo is supposed to have common lower layers, and alternative UX (User
 eXperience) layers. There will be UX layers for cell phones, tablets,
 netbooks, stationary media phones, and whatnot.

 MeeGo will use rpm as packaging mechanism. It will run X, have gtk
 support, but main GUI SDK will be QT.

 Given that it should support intel and arm and be based on rpm, is there
 some way fedora and MeeGo could interact? Could a platform with Intel
 and Nokia as sponsors cooperate with the huge Fedora community with
 RedHat as sponsor? Could Fedora become a development platform for both?
 It would certainly help defragment linux a bit.

 MeeGo is set to become the biggest linux on mobile devices if Nokia mean
 what they say: According to Ari Jaaksi, VP Nokia “We will put all our
 force behind making MeeGo THE operating system” and “Nokia will ship
 tons of MeeGo devices, Intel, too. And others will use MeeGo in their
 devices. It is open, free, powerful and compatible.”

 That said, I prefer running Fedora on my netbooks. I actually think
 there is no problem at all running a full gnome on a netbook. I usually
 remove the panels and install cairo-dock. I also make a few gui tweaks
 that I am used to doing on older hardware (getting rid of gradients in
 window borders and so on). Seriously, a netbook is more powerful than
 what I used to run linux on just 1-2 years ago.

HELL No! Trading one flakey vendor for a closed vendor is no plan.

I am going to track down best practice for shoehorning fc11 to my netbook.

FC is a known quantity (w/quality); one i have relied on with success for years.

besides, they have these great user communities! ;)

I'm probably misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but here's how I do it:
on my Aspire One:
1. Download a live cd
2. Install livecd-tools
3. use livecd-iso-to-disk to place the iso image on a bootable USB stick
4. Boot from the USB stick and select install on hard drive



   

hey Steven,

i think you get it just fine. i was using the liveusb gui to create the 
usbstick.
i saw the command line option in the page referenced above, but didnt 
try it.


i'll give that a whirl.

are you still running 1 GB or ram? i am concerned about how fast (or 
not) my result

netbook performance may be...

thx!!

how to enable 11N wireless?

my netbook has:

Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG (rev 61)
Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 
PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)

I know the 4965 supports both G  N protocols. only G is being used; how do i 
enable N ?
do i need to kick the controller? on moblin, it said AGN in the banner!

Re: F13 alpha rt2860 wireless problem

Trying out F13 alpha on my eeepc 901.

In previous versions, we had to go to a 3rd-party repo to get drivers for
the RTA2860STA wireless chipset. But F13 seems to have at least some
support built in, i.e., network manager detects the wireless hotspots
nearby and offers them up for connection.

however it won't actually connect. it noodles around for quite a while
then reports failure.

I've tried it with several different hotspots, including my own at home
(to which f12 connects just fine on the same hardware) as well as two at
work (all are WPA or WPA2), as well as a totally open, un-encrypted
router at work, and it won't connect to any of them.

Is thre some other package I need (beyond what is on the live cd)? Or is
this fodder for Bugzilla?

Thanks!

   
having issues with my eeepc 1000 and its rt2860, i replaced it with a

Before you go looking too far, if you're a Gnome user, clicking on the
NM applet shows similar information -- the ESSID names are listed, along
with a mini-bargraph of signal strength and icons for encryption and for
peer-to-peer. (Other DEs probably do something similar).

Something's wrong then, as it does, here.  And that'd be the only way it
could work and let you pick another network to connect to (by listing
all that's currently available to you).

Have you tried, alternately, seeing what you get when you left-click on

There were nearly always about three around me, but lately I've rarely

Re: rt2860 and Fedora 12 x64?

2010-03-15 Thread jack craig

this wont help you , but for scope...

i have fc12 on my netbook. it initially came with the chipset you have now.

i swapped it out for an Intel wireless card and my wireless connects are 
fine out of the FC box.


i found the rt2860 support very flaky over the xandros/moblin os's so 
that is why i swapped it out.


my only gripe is i lost my 11n support from moblin... :(

dhclient ra0

I've tried configuring the wpa_supplicant.conf file with the psk in

*Once*, just *once*, I had this actually connected but have no idea how

FWIW, the kernel is the 2.6.32.9-70 version.

Any help, thoughts, or prayers appreciated.

Well, you could use copy  paste.  Seems to me to be easier to do

In fact, that is the way I did do it. CLI with mouse available is

Btw, a nit, hardly big enough to call a feature request: when you
type in some long command, it fails on a typo, and you want to use the up-

you from using the mouse to put the cursor on the typo. Is there some
good reason for that??

access monitor drivers for Fedora?
   

With respect FC2 is very old indeed and you would be better off
installing an up to date version of Fedora which will likely have a
much better chance of driving your monitor - the current drivers will
be much more likely to work with your monitor directly from a more
recent install of Fedora.

Any reason you can't install F12?
 


   


Nowhere. Monitor drivers don't exist. The .ini file for Windows
isn't a driver either, just a configuration file that contains
info about the sync frequencies supported by the monitor.

Normally the data about monitor properties is read directly from
the monitor through the DDC protocol. What problems are you
having with the monitor?
 

I got the screen to work with the system by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
changing the Horizontal rates, the size of the screen and the Modes
for the screen.  Unfortunately the display does not fit the monitor's
size,  too tall and not wide enough.  I did play with the dimensions
of the screen.

There may not be drivers for the monitors, but the various systems
have a knowledge of a list of monitors.  The E2210H Dell is not listed
on the F2 system.  That would be a good reason for an upgrade.  I will
see if I can pull the system offline for an upgrade.

I don't understand why the Mode entry  in /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not
seem to have  any relationship to the Modes shown in the System/
Display gui.  I coded in 1920x1080 in xorg.conf.  The Display gui
shows 1024xsomething and 1280x960.  Why?

dealing with states of drowsiness, FC12, netbook

2010-04-13 Thread jack craig
Hi Folks,

I admit to being new to mobile computers, laptops, netbooks, etc.

there are more states on these systems that a desktop usually uses, 
including sleep and hibernate.

is there an URL somewhere that will tell me how to recognize these 
different states and
return my netbook to normal operating mode once the state of drowsiness 
is established?

i fire up my asus netbook in the am and when i don't use it for an hr or 
so, it goes
to sleep (or maybe hibernate) mode. the power button light is still on.

but the only control i get is pressing and holding the power button 
until i get a shutdown.

would some kind soul point me to a state managment URL?

 This page describes the acpi power states:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface#Power_States

 On my hp laptop, pressing the power button once will cause it to wake
 up again. On my old asus laptop (running f11 i think) this didn't work
 properly, though it would try to resume. If you don't want it to
 hibernate at all, you need to change the power profile. For kde this
 under the advancded tab of the system settings.

 HTH,

 Chris

 my naive reading of the above looks like it fulfilled
 one authentication method, but then goes on to ask for another,
 in this case, a password.

 my wag is that there is an /etc/pam.d config that is wrong,
 but this isn't my strong suite and i don't want to guess/mess around.

 also, this phrase, ...

 debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
 No credentials cache found

  
 I wouldn't worry about GSS failure.  You haven't set it up.
 - From URL:
 http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/53/userauth-gssapi.html
 it explains the idea behind GSS.  I tend to think of GSS as Kerberos.


 where do i find the minor code its referring to?

 any ssh guru's out there to provide  a clue?

  
 Not sure.

 When it says, Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.,
 is it referring to ssh-agent?

 There is a program, ssh-add, which talks to ssh-agent.
 I haven't used ssh-add or ssh-agent in a long time.

 Before I take us down this path which might be a wild good chase,
 I better ask are you using these?

 Whenever I have publickey authentication problems,
 it usually is file and directory permissions.
 You indicated you checked ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

both the client  server have the 700 for .ssh and 600 for all .ssh/*

note also that i have the same access to different hosts in our domain.
my client is fc11, but the remote hosts are centos 4  5.

 As a test, could you make certain your $HOME directories,
 on both the local and remote machine, are not writable by anyone,
 but owner?

 Could you make sure ~/.ssh on both machines is only read/write
 by owner?

 Could you make sure the files in ~/.ssh, such as authorized_keys,
 config, id_rsa, known_hosts, are only read/write by owner?

 For me, anything in ~/.ssh should only be read/write by owner.
 Call me paranoid but only owner should have access to these files.

 The one kicker, I'm asking you to do, is make sure both
 $HOME directories are, at most, readable, by others, and not writable.

 If you want someone to put files in your $HOME directory area,
 can you set up $HOME/droparea and give them read/write access
 to $HOME/droparea?


in this case i am just building a backup system for my client host to 
back up to he server.
i have accts on both so i got ja...@client writing to ja...@server

Thx for you time, suggestions beyond perms?

simple solution, ditch the m$ client for linux! :-P

 I wouldn't worry about GSS failure.  You haven't set it up.
 - From URL:
 http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/53/userauth-gssapi.html
 it explains the idea behind GSS.  I tend to think of GSS as Kerberos.


 where do i find the minor code its referring to?

 any ssh guru's out there to provide  a clue?

  
 Not sure.

 When it says, Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.,
 is it referring to ssh-agent?

 There is a program, ssh-add, which talks to ssh-agent.
 I haven't used ssh-add or ssh-agent in a long time.

 Before I take us down this path which might be a wild good chase,
 I better ask are you using these?

 Whenever I have publickey authentication problems,
 it usually is file and directory permissions.
 You indicated you checked ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

 As a test, could you make certain your $HOME directories,
 on both the local and remote machine, are not writable by anyone,
 but owner?

 Could you make sure ~/.ssh on both machines is only read/write
 by owner?

 Could you make sure the files in ~/.ssh, such as authorized_keys,
 config, id_rsa, known_hosts, are only read/write by owner?

 For me, anything in ~/.ssh should only be read/write by owner.
 Call me paranoid but only owner should have access to these files.

 The one kicker, I'm asking you to do, is make sure both
 $HOME directories are, at most, readable, by others, and not writable.

 If you want someone to put files in your $HOME directory area,
 can you set up $HOME/droparea and give them read/write access
 to $HOME/droparea?


the plot thickens, i switch to the dsa (from rsa key) and my sessions 
now work fine.
But!!! when i put the sme command line in a cron job, i am back to 
passwd prompting!!!

i guess my only choice is a deep dive into ssh protocols?

Re: F-12 and Skype -

  I installed their Linux RPM version and yum'd the dependencies. It

  see the other persons video although that's not a feature I would use.

  But although it will connect to the plain old telephone system, I
  subscribed to that feature, it doesn't provide a usable connection.
  All I have to test with is my cell phone and only hear weak and
  broken audio, a call to my brother's answering machine gets dropped
  before I can say more than a few words leading me to believe it's
  not hearing me?

  To add to the uncertainty my satellite ISP contributes a couple of
  seconds of latency, there is the delay between here and the
  satellite and from there to the earth station plus what ever other
  system delays occur and of course I don't know what effect that
  might have beyond the obvious human reaction to the delayed response.

  Any thoughts on the subject appreciated.

Re: F-12 and Skype -

2010-04-16 Thread jack craig
quick heads up here, i swapped versions a bit too starting out.

i got snarled by the .skype dir remaining that yum didnt remove.
installing a second Skype version got real bizarre results.

i finally moved .skype .skype- and reinstalled the cited version, then i 
got happiness.

YMMV, good luck, jackc...

 skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586 is the most up to date version.  There is no
 version specific to F12.  I've been using skype on Linux for a while and
 I've observed that skype-   skype calls work just fine even with
 video.  On the other hand skype-   land line calls are inconsistent. At
 times I've experienced delays, noise and drop outs, other times it works
 fine.

 Paolo

  
 .

  skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm was the version I found on their web
  page. It was designated for Fedora and I took it. I can look for the
  later version but suspect it will not be much different? I need to
  try it though.

  I have not done any extensive trials but what little I have done has
  produced results similar to yours or worse. When I speak to my
  brother I will find out if there was any voice message on their
  machine ...

  AS you said Skype to Skype worked well but I don't know only one
  person using it despite there being a million users! I have no
  practical need for Skype but wanted to try it. I am impressed with
  VOIP, Skype and Echolink both provide good voice communications
  computer to computer.

  Thanks for your observations.

Re: authentication problem(solved)

2010-04-19 Thread jack craig
I kept digging deeper on this problem and this am found the solution (or 
at least one solution, there may be others).

it amounted to moving the keys in my .ssh to *.bak names,
logging out, logging back in, logging into the remote server,
exiting, moving the keys back to their proper names and loging into 
remote again,
this time with no pwd reqd!!!

gotta love google and james wagner (jimmyg.org).

But dont bother trying to email him, his email screening is broke.

 Hey All,

 I can not get my parallel port to connect to my printer.  The printer

 worked since.

 Now I have F12 32 bit installed.  I've tried everything I can think of
 including messing with the CMOS settings from Yes PNP OS to No PNP OS.

 When I first started trying to diagnose this problem I used the
 System/Administration  tools to debug the printer problems.  Several
 problems, such as incorrect file ownership, were found and corrected.
 Now I get no further issues when I print but I also get nothing coming
 from the printer.  The printing queue says that the job is Processing
 but askes, Is the printer connected?  Remember, this is the same
 printer, and same cable that was working with F8.  Only the software has
 been changed to confuse the innocent.

 I've uninstalled the printer driver and cups, rebooted the machine,
 reinstalled cups.  Downloaded a current copy of the Linux driver from
 the printer manufacturer and installed the driver.  No joy. :-(

 I've spent a couple of days poking around the internet looking for help
 with this issue.  I've found a lot of people having problems getting
 their parallel printers working with F12 that had worked with previous
 versions of Fedora but none of those posts have helped.

 Here is the results of the poking around that I've done.

WTH is up with this network config?

2010-04-28 Thread jack craig
When I learned about ip address, the network  host portions of the IP 
and the netmask to

differentiate the host  network numbers. I learned a class A addr used
a mask of 10.255.255.255.

My current domain pre-existed my arrival.

While my FC11 works fine, I was looking at this network config and found 
the below!!!

My question, if the ifcfg-eth0 has the right IP  Mask, why does the 
ifconfig display not agree?

More, why does it work as is ???!!!

Linux for T1 bonding ???

2010-05-25 Thread jack craig
Hi Folks,

This is probably not the best forum for this query, but I am hoping you 
might direct me...

We have  a T1 that is running about max'd out. We are thinking to buy a 
comcast connection and
use a Linux based T1 bonding to load balance over the 2 pipes.

Any open source references to recommend? I have not been finding a lot 
of options...

 When I was looking at getting a T1, bonded T1s sold by the provider were
 fairly common. Unless you are looking at doing something cheaper, that
 may be your best bet.

 If you are using two different providers, I don't think you can atcually do
 what is typically referred to as bonding. Normally that is handled with
 routing.


I've hit a couple bumps in this investigation.

the boss first said check into comcast cable (static ip's available),
but then he was assuming it was a t1 serve that could be bonded
with our current t1.

so far, t1  cable modem are separate, discreet options.

i found mushroom networks and they offer a bonding appliance that says 
its smart about load
balancing, e.g. using all bonded lines.

mark pointed out vyatta, that looks interesting too.

The cable connection rates are real low compared to our t1, i am not 
thinking
we ought to get the cable connection and if its as fast as advertised, 
ditch the t1 we have now.

interesting quest! :)

thx for your comments, jackc...

 I came to the same conclusion but haven't purchased the N900

 Maemo 5 version 1.2 will be available tomorrow (May 26th). There
 won't be any official upgrade to Meego on N900.

 That is exactly the reason I held off from buying one.  I'll wait for
 the N950 or whatever they call it, running Meego before I buy
 anything.

 Maemo is a dead platform.  It took them forever to release this update
 and I doubt there will be another one.

 I want something like Fedora for mobile devices.  I'm hoping thats
 Meego.


I'd say don't hold your breath!

I had high hopes for the moblin (meego now),
but i was dismayed to see the Intel effort spin  spin, then provide no 
useful product!
what they did provide wasnt nearly good enough.

i was using a netbook (even more screen real estate than a smart phone)
{i had been using the Sidekick, from Danger, but wanted more useful 
screen space},
and it was reduced to less than a 1/3 of total screen in useful space.

When moblin died, i bailed and have been using fc12 on my netbook since.

I am Much happier. My netbook, on a recent holiday, was the perfect 
travel companion...
My only glitch was wifi reception in a BB that was made of Really solid 
wood( i had to work near the router).

My experience with cable has been that it is highly variable in bandwidth. In
upstate NY you can get DSL up to 7Mbit and FIOS at 15Mbit and you get the speed
you pay for. Depending on your usage you might even have the T1 for incoming
connections to your servers and use a DHCP connection on another ISP like cable
for things which don't need static IP on outbound connections, like browsing,
VPN depending on your setup, etc, etc.

Having done bonded lines back when I became aware that total bandwidth goes up
but the speed doesn't, so ping and anything depending on response time won't
change. And you want to advertise larger TCP window sizes so that you will back
up some packets and actually use the bonding. Some bonding methods don't put
packets for a given connection on the other wire until they have a few packets
waiting.


   

Great feed back to hear /before/ we make a decision! Thx!!!

 e2label will only work if you put a Linux fs (ext2, ext3, ..) on the
 drive.  Since most external drives already have NTFS on them you will
 need to use something else to label the drive.  However, the automount
 should work regardless of a label.

 In the case of NTFS you may need to install the ntfs-3g package to get
 automount to work.

 Paolo

Good point;  no NTFS here, strictly Linux... ;-)

 if that is a store bought dvd, then you probably need libdvdcss package
 - the legality of which, at least in the US is probably questionable but
 if I recall correctly, that package is available from livna.

 i updated my wifi card to intel, i wonder if i can find/install this Big
 SSD?!
  
 What does your wifi card have to do with a big SSD ?


only that i did a swap of my wifi card in the netbook and would hope to 
be able to do the same to get  a larger storage for the netbook.

i had not heard of ssd's that large before.

 I'm using ext4 for that drive right now.  Is there a better filesystem

 Is there anything that I should be aware of as far as switching ?

 So 2.1.47 worked fine with two cards...

one thing that bit me was previous installs. a ~/.skype directory didnt

you might try, ...

1. remove skype

Multimedia video on netbook

2010-06-22 Thread jack craig
Hi Folks,

I just loaded VLC on my netbook and was able to view my recent manta ray 
night diving video.

However, given its normal power saving procedure, it dims the screen 
shortly after the video starts.

Is there any prevailing wisdom how to handle this feature during a video 
display?

I am assuming watching movies has the same issue...

tia, jackc...

 System -  Preferences -  Screensaver

 and take it from there.

 Note: You might have 2 screensaver entries in the drop down menu.
 On my F13, the first screensaver menu entry runs the
 xscreensaver-demo
 which I am unable to kill, even via sudo, even with signal 9.
 I hope some fedoral developer sees this :)

 So, select the second screensaver entry and that will bring up a
 gui for you to set what to do when idle.
 You can uncheck the box and it will not blank the screen.


Great! Thx!

you might look at mencoder, it takes .mov, it might take the dvd format too.

 Good idea. The manpage says it can read DVD structures, VOB files etc.
 Guess I'll have to invest some time in understanding the gazillion
 options.

I recently ripped a DVD we got from a manta ray night dive event and 
found .vob files.
I was surprised that vlc played the .vob out of the box!

Its great to see multimedia blossoming in Linux land.

Also, i got a blurb about a new Fluenda DVD play program for Linux, just 
fyi...

so, this is going to sound bizarre, but try it...

lets talk client and server to identify the 2 hosts in your issue.

on each host, in the home directory,

$ mv .ssh .ssh_save

log out of each of cleint  server

log into client

try access the server via ssh cmd (ok if it fails), logout again.

login and on each of client  server,

$ mv .ssh_save .ssh(make sure the perms stayed as 700)

now try your

$ ssh u...@host date

again, any luck?

 For only home users, who want to use fedora (and have version 11, that

 very well revealed here, what a user who has no programming base, can
 start to go in fedora? like windows if GUI, so home persons can use it
 widely because everything is GUI. Thoguh fedora also may be GUI
 nowadays, but if someone want to start learning (for home purposes
 only), where should he start from knowing that there is only one PC,
 on which both - fedora as well as xp is installed. The main thing PC
 is used is for watching movies, listening music, documents editing and
 kids play.

 but a home user can himself (with no more hardware) and with a single
 pc (with net connection) can learn in this scenario as far as fedora

 extent but more with watching movies and visiting new places. And the

that is you may scratch the surface, use it like an expert or even

suggestions for png markup

2010-07-23 Thread jack craig
Hi Folks,

I work in a web-based application provider context.

As there are issues/comments regarding the display of application,
its common for me to use the screenshot tool to grab a copy of the 
screen display
to a .png file for support to address. that part is fine.

What I am missing is an easy way to markup a .png with boxes, arrows, 
etc to
further communicate what it is about the .png to be addressed.

gimp seems too heavy weight for this, OO's draw isnt that friendly, and 
! am unaware
of other options.

This  is where y'all come in, anyone got a good suggestion for my 
missing markup tool?

Last year, I was working for M$ and vista had one nice feature, a
simple screenshot/markup tool in one app.

Thats kind of what I am looking for in terms of usage... anyone?

TIA, jackc...

Ok, you're right, i see  it now. still, i think that shutter is a bit 
easier to use...

Thx for all your replies, I appreciate your time!!!

Re: Crontab as alarm clock with ogg123

So I'm thinking it's the same infrastructure to prevent others music
playing when you switch users. But in my case I *want* it to play. Any
ideas?
   

/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms

 

I created a new perms file called 51-default.perms
and added

##
sound=/dev/snd/* /dev/snd
console  0666sound  0666 root
##

rebooted (Did I need to?)

I now notice that the devices in /dev/snd are  crw-rw-rw-+. So Others
should be able to write to the device.  But I still cannot get cron to
play an ogg music file unless it's for the person currently  logged
in.

I have checked that the file plays fine when normally played so it's
not an issue with ogg123 or the music file. Here is my crontab line
(as tried for root)

30  12  *  *  1  /usr/bin/ogg123  /root/Mists_of_Time-4T.ogg

/var/log/cron tells me the command is issued but no sound from speakers.

Here's the funny part. If I ssh in (as a different user) and run
ogg123 from command line, sound plays on the sshd server machine. It
works!! But not if I set it to play using cron.  So basically one must
be logged in either at the machine or through ssh.

Also, if nobody is logged in, nothing is heard. But as soon as I log
into the user who has the cron job running, the sound comes on
immediately at login. If I then log out while the song is playing,
sound stops. Log back in and sound comes on again. Obviously, the
ogg123 process is running but the sound is being disconnected unless
the user is logged in.

wondering if udev rules is somehow responsible. Here is

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-alsa.rules

ACTION==add, SUBSYSTEM==sound, KERNEL==controlC*, \
   RUN+=/sbin/alsactl -E ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa/alsactl.conf
--initfile=/lib/alsa/init/00main restore /dev/$name
ACTION==remove, SUBSYSTEM==sound, KERNEL==controlC*, \
   RUN+=/sbin/alsactl -E ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa/alsactl.conf store
/dev/$name

Any  ideas much appreciated?

   

i am using crontab to do an alarm clock and it works fine.
you said that you checked a nomral execuiton of the ogg player, but!

maybe in hte crontab ckey paths (known to your shell, but not default in 
crontab) are missing.


my example, ...

/mailto=ja...@linuxlighthouse.com
PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin

# Wakeup call
## disabled until needed again
30 6 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/jackc/bin/wakeup

you might add the mailto and see if it mails you any unresolved 
externals msg?


just a wag...

good luck...

 Looks like you have the authorization for the sound device sorted out;
 there may also be something you have to do to tell pulseaudio to play
 sound for a user who is not currently logged in.

 I don't know enough about pulseaudio to guide you there; perhaps a
 google search for something like pulseaudio user authentication or
 pulseaudio user authorization will be of value?
  
 Solved:

 I simply removed pulseaudio and it works fine now. (on F11)

 #yum remove pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

 I must say, I find it kind of Windows-Like of Pulseaudio to force
 users to be logged in for audio to work. I think ALSA works just fine.


in all fairness, PA has been working fine for me...

 No one responded on this query, but, for the sake of posterity, here's
 the fix:
 Many modern digital cameras have two modes in which the flash memory

 I believe it means Push-to-Print, permitting you to print photos
 directly from the camera to a PTP-capable printer.  The camera retains
 control of the memory in that mode as opposed to becoming a USB memory
 card reader in the USB mode.

warning icon on the main login screen.

i clicked on that to see what was the issue.

upon return to the login screen, i find the CR no longer works (mouse 
click does).

anyone else?
