syslog is filling up because of pulseaudio. HELP!
by Steven W. Orr
I'm getting two of these per second. How can I stop it!
Jan 26 11:21:00 saturn pulseaudio[4130]: module-alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us
up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to
write! Most likely this is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to
the PulseAudio developers.
My messages files are ginormous:
[root@saturn log]# ls -l messages*

Did some upgrade do this to me? :-(

F10 and vlc
by Joseph L. Casale
Wow,
out of the loop (I skipped F9), I have vlc and gstreamer-bad/ugly installed.
Totem plays mp3's and xvids fine, but vlc is choppy as heck. Given that totem
is not exactly what I would prefer to use, how does one fix vlc?
Thanks!

application to suck up RSS to local storage?
by Peter Teoh
I know thunderbird can be used to view RSS news feed, but, like IMAP,
the content is not stored locally, and thus viewing the pages are
slow.
Is there any application in Redhat which I can use to download RSS
newsfeed, so that I can view it locally without much latency delays?

F10: KDE and second display not working
by Tarjei Knapstad
I'm running a two-display setup with my laptop (Dell Precision M65) as
screen 0 and a second LCD screen as screen 1 (through the proprietary
nvidia drivers).
This works perfectly fine in gnome. If I log in with KDE I get a
desktop, toolbars etc. on Screen 0, but only the desktop background on
Screen 1 (no icons, no toolbar, no menu when right-clicking). I had
the same problem in F9, where I just gave up and started using Gnome.
Has anyone experienced anything similar/have any tips on how to fix
this? I'd really like to go back to KDE soon :)
This is with a fully updated F10 install in addition to:
kmod-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686-177.82-1.fc10.4.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.82-1.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.82-1.fc10.i386
Thanks,

Gimp Gap?
by Dan Thurman
[OFF TOPIC]: Gimp
I was reading Gimp on Gimp's website and
discovered that there was something called
Gap. It was not clear to me if this was
already built in, is a plugin, or a separate
application to be downloaded and installed.
If Gap is already built-in, how does one
invoke it?
Thanks!

Ogg video editor?
by thomas cameron
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
All -
I am using recordmydesktop (love it, love it, loooooove it!) to do some
desktop videos. My teammates and I have been trying to find a decent
video editor for ogg files. Nothing fancy, I'm *not* a savvy video guy.
Just want to splice some sections together and maybe snip out some "um"
and "uh" stuff.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Re: Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10 (solved)
by linux media 4
I not only wanted to send a 'Solved' post, but pieced together a step by
step on how to do this from all the posts...
Copy/Rename the FDI file...
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi \
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi
edit this file (11-synaptics.fdi) as indicated in the thread appropriate
section for your touchpad (you can discover which touchpad section by
'cat /proc/bus/input/devices')
Reboot
I added:
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
(allowing 'on the fly' shutting on and off of features with 'synclient')
<merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">2</merge>
(Turns the mouse pad tapping (and other) features off)
I can still do:
synclient TouchpadOff=0
to turn the features on.
My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi is in the paste bin as an example...

Revisor livecd for soho emergency use
by Peter Malcolm Croft Price
I am trying to provide a livecd for emergency use by colleagues and family on
the soho servers (Fedora 10) I am responsible for.
Revisor provides the opportunity to
set up eth0 eth1 etc (with fixed ip addresses providing lan access)
and firewall (I am still working on NAT setup)
However in both scenarios ppp0 would have to be configured
with username and password to bring up xdsl internet connection.
I cannot rely on any user expertise beyond restarting the server and/or
booting from the livecd.
Has anyone on the list any ideas about solutions, strategies, gotchas?
Thanks for any help.

NetworkManager at boot-time
by Timothy Murphy
Does anyone have NM under Fedora-10 making a WiFi connection before login?
If so, what precisely did you do?
(I tried a couple of suggestions I saw, but neither of them worked,
possibly because I did not implement them properly.)

Sharing yum between several machines
by Timothy Murphy
Basically, I would like a system where yum looks first
in a /common/yum/ directory NFS-mounted on several machines,
and if it does not find what it is looking for
then it goes to a mirror as before,
and adds what it finds to /common/yum/ as well as installing it
on the machine in question.
Does yum have such a facility?
I googled for "yum several machines" but all the solutions suggested,
eg setting up a local mirror, seemed to me excessive for my purposes.
