Sound Card Recognized but No Sound
by Terry Linhardt
This involves FC3, test 3. My sound card is recognized, but I do not
hear anything. I had previously installed both Fedora Core 2 and Core 3,
Test 1, and the sound card was recognized and functioned properly.
The system "sees" AC'97 Audio Controller, with Module snd-intel8x0.
I tried running the command "system-config-soundcard" from the command
line. Besides a GUI interface to test the sound (again, no sound), I got
the following messages in the terminal window:
Warning: rate not accurate. Requested 44100 Hz, got 48000 Hz.
and then: aplay: pcm_write:1115 write error: input/output error
Any help or guidance? As I said above, I'm puzzled especially since I
never had a problem with prior versions of Fedora. (And if I boot XP,
the soundcard is functioning properly).

switchdesk-gui not installed with KDE or GNOME
by Terry
I think this should be included if you have more than one desktop
environment installed. I see that switchdesk is installed, but not
switchdesk-gui. Any reason to leave this out?
Thanks,

FC3T3 ? gdb: no debugging symbols found. Using -g3...
by Kim Lux
I'm trying to debug a feature in kdevelop 3.1.1. I'm using gdb. I'm
getting a "no debugging symbols found" error in spite of the Makefile
having cxx args of -g3.
Am I missing something ? Is there something about gcc in fc3t3 that
makes it incompatible with gdb ?
The gdb version I have installed is "GNU gdb Red Hat Linux
(6.1post-1.20040607.41rh)" It also states: "This GDB was configured as
"i386-redhat-linux-gnu"."
Also: I'm not sure the error I see in kdevelop isn't related to it
running on fc3t3. I'll state more when I know more.

Fedora Core 3 RC1 Updates
by Tim Ryder
I installed FC3-RC1 and all went well. RC2 just came out and FC3 final
is just around the corner. Since RC1 is so close to FC3 final, will I
be able to just change my repos and install the redhat-release package,
then update via yum to get to FC3 final or will I have to download the
ISO and install again?

any chances for some last minute vte changes, or atleast something to consider
by Jon Nettleton
We have all dealt with the good, the bad, and the ugly of
gnome-terminal/vte. Don't get me wrong, it has been my terminal of
choice as long as I have run redhat/fedora. The speed output has
always been an issue for me, but it wasn't until recently that the
tabbed redraw problem became apparent to me. I always switch my
terminal to a black background with grey fonts, so it wasn't until I
started rolling my customized fedora core 2 desktop out to my
coworkers that the multi-tab black background bug was ever a factor.
The speed issue was addresed in the patch attached to this bugzilla,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132770 , which I
have found fantastic. Without the mad skills of this excellent
programmer I addressed the lesser of the two evils, the tabbed black
background bug. My debugging led to a less elegant, but harmless and
effective solution with a patch attached to this bug,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100420 .
Between the two patches I now have a gnome-terminal that just works
how I want it, and how I assume everyone would like it to. These have
been nagging bugs for quite some time. I know getting changes into
vte at the gnome level has been slow, any chance of use addressing the
issues at a distribution level?

Request for a way to hide backup files.
by Kim Lux
I use a number of tools that generate backup files ie "filename~"
I'd love to have them treated as hidden files so that I don't have to
see them when I'm ls ing dirs and looking on my desktop. I love having
them, I just don't want to see them unless I am specifically looking for
one. One place I especially hate this is on the desktop.
I haven't found a way to enable an application to generate the backup
file as ".filename~".
Is there a way to KDE to make backup files, ie "filename~" treated as
hidden files ?
This has been bugging me for a long time.
