enabling audio on console-only livecd
by Don Raikes
Hello,
Using livecd-tools, I have created a console-based livecd (which works well for me since I am blind, and like working with console tools).
There are several applications I would like to use which involve using sound. However, even though I included alsa-libs and alsa-utils on the cd, I have no sound available.
Any suggestions on what else I need to do?

Sebastian, ^^ there you go.
This is the moment where your feature page becomes the point of
reporting progress in any of the outstanding issues (kdm/generic-logos
is now a moot point but I think the bug can still be pursued for obvious
other reasons?), and to add it to the CategoryFeaturesProposedF10 (iirc).
Thanks for your great work ;-)
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen

I'm CC:'ing the Fedora Spins list for other people that might show
interest in this discussion.
To me it doesn't make sense removing fedora-release from a downstream
distribution and then still say "based on Fedora" or "Fedora
derivative". This, in my opinion, should not be a requirement. I'd like
to enable people to do it anyway, with the click of a mouse, but it's
not that simple at this point.
Fwiw the Fedora Spin SIG only requires new spin concepts that do not yet
have Board Approval to exclude fedora-logos from their package manifest.
Requiring anything more then that also involves more work for the spin
requester/maintainer (and a little more for the Spin SIG as well).
How we handle fedora-release being the cause for "Welcome to (...)" is
also a thread on -devel, and afaic is a cosmetic thing for downstream
distributions, not a requirement from Fedora (IMO).
Taking this a little further, the trademark policy can simply not
require a downstream distribution to remove all occurrences of the
Fedora trademark (as a string) from the entire system. Although I'd like
to enable them to do so, it's simply not scalable to keep track of where
the Fedora name might occur in a package name, file name or file contents.
Since we're on the topic, I've also suggested on the "new trademark
policy" wiki page[1], that rebranding should not be required in case you
hand out a presentation or demo in case of an ISV, if you have built it
upon Fedora and are simply handing it out to attendees of your session
(which kinda equals to limited distribution, e.g. non-public). Same
might apply to downstream vendors distributing appliances (like VMWare
used to distribute .vmx files for some operating systems/distributions?)
Anyway, these are just some of the thoughts that cross my mind drinking
my first cup of coffee today... Let me know what you think ;-)
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
