RE: CD audio
by David Balazic
Audio CDs ( CD-DA ) are not played like the other sounds, but in a
special, different way ( which is idiotic, IMO ).
It is done by a DAC chip in the CD unit itself, and its output is connected
by a special cable with the sound-cards analog input, labeled as CD-IN.
The sound is also available on the headphone connector on the front of
the CD unit.
So when you try to play an audio CD and nothing is heard, does the CD spin ?
Is the LED on the CD unit lit or blinking ?
Did you try to connect a headphone to the CD unit ?
If the answer is yes, then you are either missing the cable I mentioned (
between
CD unit and souncard ) or maybe the audio mixer settings have the CD-IN line
muted ( or low volume ).
Xine probably works, because it read the data from the CD and then sends it
to the soundcard, as it is done for the rest of sound types.
So to summarise :
- check the CD<->soundcard cable
- check mixer (volume) settings for the CD_in line
- use software that works ( Xine ) :-)
Regards,
David

Re: Update to yarrow from Core 0.95 fails

Hi Ernest,
I had a similar problem today. Tried to install Fedora Core 1 on my IBM R30
Thinkpad, got the following error "An error occurred transferring the install
image to your hard drive. You are probably out of disk space".
Disk space is not the problem. However, I think my laptop CDROM may be flaky.
The CD's fail the media check on my laptop but pass on my other computers. I
will try a network install next.

X hangs on FC 1 install
by Mark Heslep
This appears to be another dual head radeon problem:
Clean FC 1 install via NFS isos. Gets through the Anaconda video (ATI
Fire GL X1), monitor (LCD NEC 1860 ) and USB mouse probes and then when
the Graphical Installer starts X hands killing the sync to the monitor.
A retry with a 'linux text' install works just fine. Same thing now
happens w/ a subsequently running system when starting X using the stock
config file. SSH into the box shows the kernel still spinning and X,
gdm-binary still running. The XFree log shows no problems. Fix: I
had a 2nd NEC 1860 attached to the Fire GL during all this and the X log
shows probing for it as well though obviously there was no dual head
configuration in the XF86Config file at this poing. Remove the 2nd
monitor fromt the Card and all is well.

Anaconda - changing displays during install
by Jim Cornette
I was unable to select a display during the installation process.
Nothing would take, if selected. This causes the display not to be at
its full resolution and you need to select it post-install.
This problem is on an HP ze4315us laptop.
The video card is selected properly and nothing needs to be done for the
video card, just the display.
Thanks,
Jim

Media reader fails under FC1
by James Drabb
I have a PCMCIA smart media reader made by Centon electronics. The card
no longer functions since I upgraded from FC1-T3 to FC1 via apt
yesterday. When I put in a smart media card into the reader, I get the
following in /var/log/messages
Nov 6 21:14:49 keelie cardmgr[4684]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
Nov 6 21:14:50 keelie cardmgr[4684]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
Nov 6 21:15:14 keelie kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x100 & 0x10e,
irq 3 failed
Nov 6 21:15:15 keelie cardmgr[4684]: get dev info on socket 0 failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable
I am normally able to mount the card as /dev/hde1.
I have these three kernels and get the same results:
2.4.20-20.9
2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
2.6.0-0.test9.1.67
When I first insert the smart media card into the reader the mouse locks
up for a few seconds. If I take the card out and re-insert it, my
laptop locks up completely, no mouse, no keyboard. I thought it might
have been a kernel issue, however it is happening with the 2.4.20-20.9
kernel from RH9 and the 2.6-test kernels as well. I have used the
reader on my laptop with Red Hat 9 and FC test-{1,2,3} for a while
without issues.
I thought the reader may have gone bad, however I just popped it into my
other laptop running RH9 with kernel 2.4.19-9 and it worked without
problems.
Any clues where to start looking?

Testing current rawhide...
by Michael K. Johnson
We're at the point of cutting candidate trees for the release, so
testing current rawhide would be VERY useful.
In particular, the 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel is a new build and
could use hammering, and the installer has changed and testing
the images would be great; nfs, ftp, and http installs should all
work.
Other packages that we'd like last-minute testing on include
samba, apache, bind, sendmail, ntp, mozilla, openoffice.org,
and gnome-terminal.
Be aware that we're looking specifically for SERIOUS AND MAJOR
REGRESSIONS, not for annoyances you didn't think to file in
bugzilla before. We are looking for (and hoping not to hear)
"Monday's kernel works, today my machine crashes on boot" or
"test3's samba served content, today it doesn't" or that kind
of thing.
Thank you,

More details on performing FTP installation of Fedora?
by Mark G. Spencer
It doesn't look like I'll be able to install Fedora via floppy boot from my USB DVD drive, so I'm moving to a FTP install. I copied each disc to its own folder on my FTP server, then realized that I don't know how to start the process from the machine I want to install Fedora on.
I checked out the website and it mentions installation documentation is coming with the next release.
I haven't done a FTP install of an OS before. Could someone explain to me what needs to be done? I'm hopefully going to do this on an old laptop with a PCMCIA IBM Credit Card Ethernet II adapter.
Thanks,

Kernel 2.6.0 mouse problems
by Scott Baker
Has anyonen else installed the following Kernel 2.6.0 rpms? I know someone
has :)
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/
I installed them on my RedHat 9.0 box as well as my Fedora box and I seem
to have the same weird mouse behavior. I have two button mouse in three
button emulation mode and when I hit both mouse buttons to paste it not
only pastes, but it ALSO raises the context menu as if I had right
clicked. Anyone else have this problem? Is this bugzilla worthy?
