PulseAudio in-/output device confusion
by Petrus de Calguarium
Output devices:
PulseAudio
Default
HDA Intel
PulseAudio Sound Server
Input devices:
PulseAudio Sound Server
Default
HDA Intel
Voilà the devices present on my system and the order of
preference for each of in-/output devices.
My question:
Is this the optimal ordering for PulseAudio for each of
in-/output? And why does output have both PulseAudio
and PulseAudio Sound Server (is one a vestigial
rudiment of an earlier release)?
The reason I would like to finally understand this is
that I have 2 computers (desk- and laptop) and the
priority of preference is often different, or sometimes
my laptop tells me that such and such a device does not
exist and asks whether I would like to remove it, etc.
Often it tells me that PulseAudio is not working, so it
will default to PulseAudio Sound Server. Huh? Yes, I
see that there are 2 entries, but this is all very,
very confusing and I just want to know what the
intended order of all these devices is supposed to be,
from the perspective of someone who wants to use
PulseAudio correctly to achieve optimal sound without
glitches and hitches, etc.

How would I install the flash player from an F12-KDE daily release ?
by linux guy
I am thinking of buying a netbook for a project I am working on.
I need to find out (in the store) if they have enough grunt to play a
YouTube video or a 720 or 1080 HD video file.
Some of the netbook processors and video cards are relatively new.
Because of this, I need to test them with the F12 live release rather
than the early F11 KDE release.
Is there an F11-KDE respin live release that includes all of the most
recent updates ?
If I am running an F12 KDE daily release, how would I go about
installing the flash player given that the flash components don't appear
to be in the F12 repositories ?
Thanks

qt-4.6.0-beta1 coming to kde/unstable
by Rex Dieter
Just a heads up, qt-4.6.0-beta1, our first attempt at packaging 4.6.0,
will be pushed to our kde/unstable repos shortly.
While it's worked surprisingly well for me during my limited testing, be
ready to find/report buglets, and possibly know how to revert if things
blow up for you.
Enjoy.

Understanding yum messages
by Anne Wilson
I sometimes have the greatest trouble understanding yum messages. Today's,
for instance:
yum update soprano*
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Update Process
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 for package: soprano-backend-
sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386
---> Package soprano.i586 0:2.3.63-0.1.20091009.fc11 set to be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
soprano-backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 from installed has depsolving
problems
--> Missing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 is needed by package soprano-
backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: soprano = 2.3.0 is needed by package soprano-
backend-sesame2-2.3.0-3.fc11.i386 (installed)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I've tried all three clean-up commands, with nothing reported.
Does this mean that I've got the soprano package out of sync with the others?

kpackagekit fails with authentication error in live sessions ?
by linux guy
I know that kpackagekit is undergoing some big changes. I mention the
following in case people aren't aware of it.
I was unable to install new packages with kpackagekit during both
F11-live sessions and f12 rawhide live sessions due to authentication
problems.
I am in the process of buying a netbook computer for a project. Before
I purchase, I want to make sure that it will run various pieces of
software and do various things. (transcode video, run YouTube videos,
etc.)
A live session provides a very convenient way of testing this sort of
thing because one needn't install Fedora onto a hard drive, one can
easily test multiple machines, etc.
However, the live iso doesn't provide all of the packages necessary to
do the things I need. I thus attempted to use kpackagekit as a normal
user to install several packages during the live sessions.
The isos used for these sessions were:
kde-i386-20091012.16.iso
kde-i386-20091008.15.iso and
Fedora-11-i686-Live-KDE.iso
However, kpackagekit failed to install any packages at all. With each
attempt kpackagekit came to the point where it required authentication
to actually install the packages, then displayed an authentication
request window and locked up, not allowing the user to authenticate the
request. The only way to exit the process was to cancel it and try
(unsuccessfully) again.
Knowing that one must be superuser in order to install packages using
yum, I attempted to run kpackagekit as su from the command line using
$kdesu kpackagekit and #kpackagekit. Kpackagekit failed to run at all
from these attempts.
Thanks for listening.

by Eli Wapniarski
Hi

on my i386 machine
---------------------
dvdauthor-0.6.14-8.fc11.i586 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libGraphicsMagick.so.1 is needed by package dvdauthor-0.6.14-8.fc11.i586 (installed)
Also, the same thing happened on x86_64 desktop plus k9copy was affected by the same problem

Amarok 2.2.0 broken?
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I just installed amarok-2.2.0-2.fc11.x86_64 from updates and find it
essentially borked in that I can't select any music. None of the options
in the left-most column (Local Music, Internet, Playlists and Files) are
selectable when clicked on. I even tried
removing .kde/shared/apps/amarok to make sure I was starting afresh, but
it makes no difference.
Am I the only one seeing this?
F11, KDE, fully updated.
