ALSA not able to be used at the same time in FC3
by William Lovaton
Hi,
I used to have FC2 in a test box which I used for test purposes. I
noticed that with it I was able to use several apps that use the sound
card at the very same time so I could, for example, see a movie in totem
and hear the notification sounds from gaim. Even I could add rhythmbox
to the mix just to make things interesting... it worked just fine.
This is not the case with FC3. When I am playing music with rhythmbox I
cannot hear the notifications from gaim and then when the record I am
listening gets to the end, the sound card (ALSA?) starts to play all the
queued notifications blocking the sound card and rhythmbox fails saying
that the device is busy.
According to Gstreamer Preferences I'm using ALSA for input and output
of sound. Have anyone seen this problem?? How do I fix it?

I removed the "rhgb" option from the /etc/grub.conf and
now I can use runlevel 5 in inittab.
The same evidence is available here:

I lost some eye candy during the boot, but I prefer the text mode
anyways.

Black background on Gnome-Terminal
by Christian Hauser
Hello all
What's the easiest way to get a black background within the
Gnome-Terminal and still being able to read everything?
I use the provided aliases for ls, ls -l, ... that use colors. So dark
blue is almost impossible to read. Same with vi, where some of the
colors are too dark.
Any help is highly appreciated.

leftover fam and esd processes?
by Joel
I logged in on a local X-11 session as a normal user, surfed the web,
logged out, went to a text console, logged in as an admin user and ran
ps aux. Two processes are left from the normal user that was logged out
-- one was fam, and the other was /usr/bin/esd -terminate. These
processes remained until I kill them. (I killed fam first, which was
robably the wrong order.)
(And it occurs to me that fam should be running as /usr/bin/fam, not as
fam.)
Is there any particular reason these processes should end up left over
after logging out? I logged in as a different normal user, surfed (but
did not go to /. this time) and logged out, and there were no leftovers.
I'm being a little paranoid, because I haven't updated firefox past
pre-1.0, and I haven't upgraded JRE since the sandbox issue was made
public. Also, while I was surfing in the session that had the leftovers,
I lost all my bookmarks. (I hadn't logged in on that account for several
days.) Does anyone have any idea whether I should be worried?

Fedora Extras is extra
by William M. Quarles
OK, someone pointed this out to me:
<http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems>
Join us or we'll start reproducing your software in your place anyways.
Does this not scream arrogance, bureacracy, and monopoly to anybody
else? Does this not seem very Microsoft-ish? Can you actually expect
to have a single community to maintain every single piece of free
software for Fedora Core (talk about a super bloat to the Fedora
Project)? Doesn't this seem to go against some of the good things about
free software? It seems that a set of extra libraries and applications
that aren't "Core" but are still fundamental or very widely used should
be the focus of Fedora Extras. Basically, take some software that is
very redundantly distributed by other repositories to reduce overlap and
increase compatibility, and not try to take over every package that
every other repository makes.

LKM Trojan
by david walcroft
Hi,
yesterday chkrootkit logged this
Checking `lkm'...
You have 2 process hidden for readdir command
You have 2 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
Today it logs
Checking `lkm'...
You have 4 process hidden for readdir command
You have 4 process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
Would these be a 'false positive' or for real and if so how do I
confirm and remove any infected process/trojan
Thanks david

d/l FC3 torrent, now what?
by Dave Stevens
I've used a friend's Sharezaa on W2K to download the heidelberg release. It
turned into a 2.26 gig file which came in very quickly. But now how do I get it
broken into the component ISOs?
