Rawhide: Skype
by Antonio M
My experience with Skype on same computer with F10 and F11.
I am running on an Intel board (Acer 5720 laptop)
On F10 Skype is running fine with these exception:
Internal mike is not working
Webcam is not working (but is working with other applications...)
On F11 after latest updates:
Internal mike and webcam are working
Sound is terrible and Skype crashes
It was working fine some time ago on F11.
I understand that Skype is OT, out of the boundaries of Fedora. As it
is working on F10 and also on a different F11 on my desktop, I would
like to understand where the problem is..and if something can be done
to make it work.
Is Pulseaudio causing the problem?? in anycase I am running Ekiga now!!!!

cups 1.4b3 or 1.4b2???
by Rob Healey
Hello all:
I am curious when I type yum list cups, it shows this on the terminal
window:
Installed Packages
cups.i586
1:1.4-0.b2.14.fc11 installed
cups-devel.i586
1:1.4-0.b2.14.fc11 installed
cups-libs.i586
1:1.4-0.b2.14.fc11 installed
cups-lpd.i586
1:1.4-0.b2.14.fc11 installed
cups-pdf.i586

cups-php.i586
1:1.4-0.b2.14.fc11 installed
cups-pk-helper.i586
0.0.4-1.fc11 installed
Then when I put localhost:631 in the Firefox Web Browser, this is what I
get:
Common UNIX Printing System 1.4b3
So then which is it??? My system is fully updated up to 20090426...
Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey

thinkpad T41 trackpoint choppiness
by Nikolay Vladimirov
Hi All,
I have a thinkpad t41 and I updated to rawhide a month ago and since
then I experience cursor choppiness and lag when using the trackpoint.
Sometimes I boot the machine and log into GNOME and it's laggy from
the start other times it's after 1-2 hours of doing stuff. It's pretty
random.
It's not related to any app like firefox or anything. It's also not
and ati driver issue since the trackpad or my bluetooth mouse works
just fine.
Also I don't think it's fedora specific since I also tried Arch and
Ubuntu 9.04. It's also not a hardware issue since it worked just fine
on the XP that came with the machine also this is reproducible on
another T41, but not on newer thinkpads like R500. I'm not sure how
can I debug this or which component is the right to bug report this.
Does anyone experienced something similar?

Tracker bug for PulseAudio volume control bugs created
by Adam Williamson
Hi, guys. Just a note that I've created
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497966 - alias AlsaVolume -
as a tracker bug for reports of cases where the PulseAudio volume
control can't usefully control the volume because another mixer channel
needs to be adjusted (e.g. no matter what you set the
gnome-volume-control slider to, you have to open alsamixer and set PCM
to 100% before you hear any sound). Please set any bugs of this kind to
block AlsaVolume. Thanks.

Can't restart/turn off
by Josep Puigdemont
Hi,
I'm running rawhide and I often can not turn off or restart the computer
from the gnome menus (it seems to work from GDM).
What happens normally is that when choosing to restart (or turn off) the
computer, the panels and all desktop icons will disappear, except for
the background picture, which is usually shifted to the right with some
garbage on the screen, and there it stays.
I can go back to the consoles with <alt><ctrl><Fx>, but I can not type
anything, and so I am not able to log in there.
The only thing I can do to turn off the computer is pressing the power
off button, fedora then reacts instantly by shutting down the computer
normally.
I'm not sure if this is of interest, but I'm running with the nouveau
driver for my NVidia graphics card.
I should file a bug, but I just don't know exactly where: GDM,
GNOME(-panel?).
For the most part of it, and apart from a couple of other bugs already
filed, I think F11 is looking great.
Thanks!

perl-Text-CSV-1.10-1.fc10 (FEDORA-2009-4080)
Comma-separated values manipulator

Update Information:
Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of comma-
separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine fields into a
CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields. The module accepts either
strings or files as input and can utilize any user-specified characters as
delimiters, separators, and escapes so it is perhaps better called ASV (anything
separated values) rather than just CSV.

F10 nightmare under control
by Arne Chr. Jorgensen
hi,
Finally got control by "rmmod wl" before connecting network cable.
If the crazy situation first appeared, ( not keeping a finger
on the touchpad, stopped processes running ), it does not go away
without rebooting. Possible to be online and read about the
new features introduced, start to make some sense of things.
