F17 yum update failure on F16 packages. Solution ?

I cannot run 'yum update' due to dependency problems with F16 packages. I have exactly the same problem as Bob Mckay in this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820351 Running 'yum --skip-broken distro-sync' does not fix it. How do I resolve this issue ? Thanks -- users mailing l

Fedora 17 sound issues

I installed Fedora 17 today. Finally got it fully updated. Sound works fine when I run the test sound in Settings-> System Settings -> Multimedia-> Phonon Internal Audio Analog Stereo. I have no sound from apps in a KDE session. $ uname -a Linux XPS.localdomain 3.4.4-3.fc17.x86_64 #

Re: Fedora 17 sound issues (Solved)

Great tip. I installed pavucontrol and found out that ALSA playback was set to Digital Stereo out. I changed it to Analog Stereo Out and it works great. Thanks ! -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/ma

Re: Fedora 17 sound issues- NOT solved !

I spoke too soon. Everything works fine as long as I keep pavucontrol running. As soon as I close it sound stops. I'm running pavucontrol as root. What gives ? I ran authconfig --updateall as a regular user and have rebooted several times. Any ideas ? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedor

Re: Fedora 17 sound issues- NOT solved !

I get the same behavior running pavucontrol as a regular user. I'll look into it tomorrow. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_li

Interactive task scheduling (system) ? How do I run a list of tasks consecutively on a server ?

Hi people. I'm using a server to run a bunch of simulations. By bunch I mean hundreds. Each simulation takes from 10 minutes to 10 hours to run. All of the simulations are run from the command line. Every day I generate more simulation cases. I'm looking for a method/system/app that I can giv

Thought: I'll write a simple one in nodejs and make the user interface a webpage. That way I can log into the webpage from anywhere and check on the status of my simulations as well as add and delete them. I'm not running a cluster. Just my little ole server. Thoughts ? __

Re: ocatve

Yes, use pip (or pip3) to install sympy It should install the dependencies too. Don't use the dnf packages for what you want to do. I know it is confusing. I am NOT a Python or pip expert. But I've run into similar errors and have always tracked it down to something not being installed proper
