My comment was ass, but it's true! Also, I was in a rush when I wrote it, so it would have been better to just wait until I wasn't. Live and learn... My issue with the new design is essentially that I could not figure out where to grab the torrents from, or how to download the checksum files, or how to grab individual CD ISOs, orI was lost for 5 minutes before I even figured out how to download the x86_64 DVD image! The new design will definitely make it easier for newbies to find Fedora CD images. I just need a link to the torrents and checksums.

I wrote too soon: a simple "pulseaudio --kill" killed off the running daemon and restarted. But, I'm not 100% why it restarted on its own. Perhaps it's set to auto restart since it's listed as one of the apps that get started automatically when I log into Gnome. Anyway, the change worked. No more insane volume changes.

Lately I've been having random desktop lockups (i.e. I can't do anything), but I can still hear my mp3s playing. My mouse stops working on a whim, forcing me to use my keyboard to close apps and then switch to a pty to kill my messed up Gnome session. Sound stops working for no apparent, although I can bring it back easily enough by restarting pulseaudio. Just a little while ago my desktop froze again and I had to do a hard power off to get it back. I'm not sure if it's something flaky with my hardware or if it's Fedora 12 that's somehow hosed.

Evolution and multiple kerberos tickets for GSSAPI authenticated email accounts
Hi Everyone, If I want to use Evolution for email and configure more than one email account with all of them setup to use GSSAPI auth, how do I then get more than one kerberos ticket? I tried to configure two accounts (same domain), but Evolution complained a ticket for the second one didn't exist. I can switch back and forth by destroying one and getting a ticket for the other so I know GSSAPI auth works. I read the kinit man page and noticed more than one cache can be used. I think that's what I need to do for the above to work, but I don't know how to automatically enable it. I also don'e know how to configure Evolution to use something other than the default cache. I've done some searching online and so far I haven't found anything. I'm likely using the wrong search terms because there's no way no one else hasn't tried this already. :) Is what I'm trying nuts? -- Kanwar R.S.

Read AIFF metadata
Hi Everyone, I bought some AIFF tracks from Beatport the other day. I prefer them over WAV because the AIFF have embedded album art, song name, etc. I loaded them up in Audacious (F17+GNOME) which played them happily. But, it's not reading any of the metadata. All of the fields are displayed as empty. I tried VLC and mplayer, too. Still nothing. I downloaded the same tracks on to a Windows 7 PC and listened to them with VLC. VLC read the metadata without any problems. Hmmm I then installed Kid3 to see if it could read the metadata. Sure enough, it was all there. So, the tracks are clearly not broken. I tried converting the AIFFs to FLAC with ffmpeg and flac, but the metadata was still missing. I'd appreciate a recommendation for an audio player that can read AIFF metadata in GNOME or better yet, how I can convert these AIFFs to FLAC and keep the metadata intact.

I gave Totem a go (don't know why I didn't earlier). Not only did it play the AIFFs, but it also read the metadata! The embedded album art, the song title, artists etc. were all available. I'm going to guess totem didn't work for you and did for me because I have a gstreamer package installed that you don't.

Documentation on this is really bad, and I can barely find anything on the Internet. I don't even know if I have the correct packages installed (for the client).

Fedora 15: evolution and scripts as signatures
Hi All, In Fedora releases previous to 15, Evolution had an option allowing me to use a small script to generate my signature. In Fedora 15, I can no longer find the "script" option. Was this feature removed, or has the option moved to a new location in the menus? I can't find squat!

If I'm lucky and I have gnome terminal open, I can find the PID for gnome shell and then send it a SIGHUP. That always restarts gnome shell, making it usable again. The added bonus I get to stay signed into my current gnome session. Before I knew I could do the above, I always issued a ctrl-alt-backspace, which kills my entire gnome session. However, I still sometimes have to do this because I don't always have a terminal front and centre, and sometimes switching to a tty (to restart gnome-shell as above) doesn't work either. > The problem could be to do with Firefox or KDE or Fedora; > I'm not sure which.

It sounds like it's similar. For the most part, I actually like gnome shell, but it's buggy.

I stuck with the open source 2D drivers with which desktop performance was great. Gnome shell was nice and snappy.

The desktop is sluggish, my dual core CPU sits with a constant load near 1.00, and videos are slightly choppy. The load issue is really annoying.

nouveau driver not working for ancient Dell D800
Hi Everyone, I have an ancient D800 with a mobililty geared Geforce 4 video card. The laptop is mostly useless, but since it's still working and browsing the net on it is OK, I wanted to install F17 on it. In went F17, out went the video. :( The nouveau driver gave me a screen full of artifacts and a block for a cursor. Large sections of the screen were unreadable. I tried to use the proprietary legacy drivers from Nvidia, but the installer bombs out. It used to work on F15 until a kernel update broke it. Something changed and that change made it all the way to F17's kernels. Does anyone know why the nouveau driver isn't working for me? Are there any workarounds? I'd also appreciate hearing about any workaround's for the proprietary installer error, if any.

Intel HD 4000 and F17
Hi Everyone, I have a F17 system that used to be installed in a machine with an Asus P5Q-E motherboard and an ATI HD 3850 video card. I replaced the motherboard with an Asus P8Z77-M Pro and went with an Intel i5-3570k so I could get rid of the ATI video card. The CPU has an integrated HD 4000 GPU. My system came up fine and I have a working display. However, I'm not entirely sure Xorg and/or the kernel recognize the Intel GPU. More specifically, if it is recognized, I don't know if the right Xorg module is loaded. I did the lame glxgears test, which reported around 60 FPS. I have no idea if that's about right or completely off. I see this when I run lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0162 (rev 09) Do I need to install a different xorg driver or blacklist anything? I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this.

That's odd, but I cannot comment on it without a look at the output of "soundconverter -d" for the attempt at loading the file. I can't load the aiff if I use the GUI exclusively. But, if I pass the file name in via the command line, it at least appears in the soundconverter window. Here's the output as you requested: SoundConverter 2.0.4 ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject) using Gstreamer version: 0.10.36 using 2 thread(s) using gio "xingmux" gstreamer element not found, disabling Xing Header output.

I kinda forgot about this and didn't come back to it until now (I'm about to buy some more AIFF tracks). The link above doesn't work anymore. But, I noticed I have a newer version of soundconverter installed anyway - soundconverter-2.0.4-23.fc17.noarch. Unfortunately, it doesn't work either. When I click the "Convert" button, this gets printed to the console: Queue start: 1 tasks, 2 thread(s). launching: 'giosrc location="file:///home/ranbir/Downloads/3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.aiff" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audiorate ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! flacenc mid-side-stereo=true quality=8 ! giosink location="file:///home/ranbir/Downloads/3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.flac"' However, no conversion actually takes place. The progress bar doesn't move. Also, the file size of the flac version doesn't increase (i.e. stays at 0). If I click cancel, the conversion stops and I'm taken back to the soundconverter window. If I click the pause button, I see this: Error: GStreamer Error: Could not open resource for writing. (3733448_The_Night_Out__A_Trak_vs__Martin_Rework__Original_Mix.aiff) And soundconverter itself reports the same thing (i.e. there's an error dialog box).

I just realized that my latest test was done on a box where I didn't have all of the gstreamer plugins installed. After installing them, the latest soundconverter release on F17 was able to properly convert the AIFF file to FLAC. All of the metadata was intact. However, I still have to pass the file into soundconverter from the CLI. Selecting it with the GUI dialog doesn't work.

Yes, I can see the aiff files if I use the "Add File" button and change the filter to "All files". If I select an aiff track and click the "Open" button, it doesn't actually get added. That is, I end up with nothing in my queue to convert. > Alternatively, you can also use your favourite files explorer and > drag'n'drop files into the open Soundconverter window. I didn't know about the drag and drop. I tried it out and it works: the files dropped onto soundconverter are added to the conversion queue and they are properly converted to flac.
