Can't use mic anymore
by jarmo
I'm not sure, after what update I lost use of mic . Can't use Skype or
can't record wit any of recorders. Have tried with pulse and without
it, no worky.
If I look controlpanel/multimedia, there's no input listed. Have also
tried record with alsa commandline tools, no worky.
I have 2 cards for different use, one for skype ( ens1370) and
another for music etc. multimedia use (snd-hda-intel), I can listen
with both cards, but not use mic.
Have googled loud a much and found many similar things, but even
some solved problems haven't helped my problem.
Now just wondering, that it's not necessary pulse or alsa "bug".
Because no input device is detected in control-panel, could it be
anaconda? udev? or similar? I have had everything working before
for sure, so something has gone wrong somewhere, eh? Have to
say, that have tested with 5 different kernels too, with latest vanilla
included, no kernel fault.
I don't need pulse at all, So alsa is enough, or should I test OSS,
hmm?
Anyway, any ideas?
Oh, system is F11 with all latest updates....

Couple of install questions
by James Allsopp
Hi,
I need to ask a few questions about a new Fedora install which I need to
do over today and tomorrow.
Which is the better option, installing F11 or F12 beta? I would upgrade
to the full F12 version as soon as it came out anyway.
File Formats, has anyone had any problems with Ext4, primarily running
on an LVM inside a RAID1.
Thanks,
Jim

FC10 install will not offer 'askmethod'
by Robert Moskowitz
I am doing yet another install, this time on a Dell SFF with an internal CD.
I want to do a network install from my local repo.
With older Redhat stuff, I did a 'linux askmethod' at the enter prompt.
I have noticed with FC10, that I would frequently not be given the
chance to press enter, let alone type in the above command, but I would
be given a menu that would allow me to supply a URL anyway.
Well on this system I go right to the menu about
install/recover/bootlocal/memcheck and from here it goes into the
install from CD without ever being given the option to provide the URL
of my local repo. Even if I let it go all the way to where you can
provide which repos to load from, I cannot see how to point the
installation repo to my network one.
I have tried various combinations of F1, F2, F3 at that startup menu,
but I never can get it to a point to let me provide the URL of my repo.
Am I going to have to use a USB CD drive to trick it?

file that controls the number of kernels kept
by Aaron Konstam
Again my memory is failing me. There is a file that contains the
parameter that controls the number of kernels retained. What is its
name?

Installation Problem
by robt parrish
I am trying to install Fedora 11 to a 2nd harddrive in my system. I have an EMachine 3.20 GHz with 1 Gig Ram. It gets to "waiting for hardware to initialize" (or something like that) then just sits there. I saw on the forum where someone posted a similar message. The only response he received said to try running a live CD to check hardware compatability. I did that. I get a message saying automatic boot in 10 seconds that counts down. Then I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor and thats as far as it goes.
Does this mean I'm not going to be able to install Fedora on my system? I have a copy of Ubuntu that seems to install ok but I would much rather have Fedora. Can someone plz help me get this installed? Thank you

Lenovo X61S, bluetooth problem after kernel 2.6.30.x
by Lars Bjørndal
There is some problemes regarding initializing bluetooth with the
kernel 2.6.30.x. When the bluetooth doesn't work, the solution is to
boot with an older kernel, such as 2.6.29.6. After that, you can
reboot with the latest kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686, which I'm
using at the moment. What doew trigger the error to occure? That seems
to be a Windows XP install on the same machine. So, dual booting first
into Windows, logging in and using it a bit, then boot back into Linux with
an 2.6.30.x kernel, the bluetooth doesn't work at all.
Hope this could be fixed, along with some sound issues on the same
system. The system beep doesn't work, also tied to 2.6.30.x kernels.

evolution to MS exchange 2007 via MAPI
by L
I am looking for information how to connect evolution to MS exchange
mail server. The institute switched the mail server to MS exchange.
The temporary solution is outlook on XP on VirtualBox, but this is
not preferable.
I tried evolution-MAPI, it seems tried to connect, unfortunate, MAPI
account crashes every single time. Any one have good story to connect
Evolution 2.26.3 on F11 to MS exchange 2007.
