sound barely audible with Fedora 11 on an HP HDX 16
by Kevin Kempter
Hi all;
I have installed Fedora 11 on a new hp HDX 16 for my son. Playing mp3's is low
but passable, playing DVD's the sound is barely audible.
The hp laptop has what appears to be a nice set of altec-lansing speakers
built in. I assume they can output much more volume.
Anyone have any thoughts per debugging this?
Thanks in advance

rogue suspend is driving me nuts
by brian
2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i586
For the past couple of weeks, my desktop machine has been shutting down
on its own. I thought it might be a hardware problem until I noticed
that, each time, /var/log/pm-suspend.log was being written to:
Initial commandline parameters:
Mon Aug 31 12:53:31 EDT 2009: Running hooks for suspend.
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/00auto-quirk suspend suspend: Adding quirks
from HAL: --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-dpms-suspend --quirk-vbe-post
--quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-vga-mode-3
... etc.
So, what the heck is driving this? Can anyone tell me what is calling
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/*? This box is quickly becoming unusable.

How do you keep your online address-book?
by Timothy Murphy
What do people recommend for keeping a list of contacts
on the computer?
I presently use OpenLDAP, but I'm not completely happy with it.
I think my main requirements are:
1. It must be held on one computer, and be accessible from others.
2. There should be a simple GUI program to add contacts.
3. It should be possible to add contacts to and from mobile phones.
4. It should be reasonably compatible with KMail and other KDE applications.
5. It should be reasonably compatible with Windows XP.
6. It should be flexible, allowing additional fields to be added later.
I'm interested to know what the most popular method
of keeping an address-book online under Fedora.

Thunderbird config date non-compat.-
by Bob Goodwin
I've replaced F-10 on this computer with F-11 using the Omega live cd
and so far everything seems perfect for the stuff that I use. One of the
easiest Linux installs yet! And a lot of bandwidth was saved in doing
the updates! That's an important factor with the limited bandwidth usage
allocated by my ISP.
The version of Thunderbird provided however is not compatible with the
"config date" add-on which I want in order to display 24 hour local
times for both the sender and myself. The patch is not available for
this version. What to do? It appears that I need to replace with version
2.-something. Is there something I am missing here, am I unique in
needing 24 hour time displayed?

Hi Anne,
Surely you have to be kidding about the "it's as easy as it always was" comment.
This is not easy. Especially when you use phrases like, "Use the desktop cashew".
WTF is that? (OK - I get testy before lunch time...;) Would you please be
kind enough to explain the steps to someone who doesn't know a desktop cashew from
a KDE activity? Thank you so much. Regards, Bruce
