/dev/snd/* permissions/ownership incorrect
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn
Since I updated to the latest packages in koji a few days ago the device
nodes in /dev/snd/* no longer seem to have the right ownership/permissions
which causes audio playback through alsa to fail. Doing a "chmod o+rw
/dev/snd/*" makes audio work again.
What package is responsible for setting this up correctly so I can file bug
against it?
Regards,
Dennis

X has been updated, can you attempt a network install or try to rescue the installed system which crashed towards the end?

Typical, not everyone succeeds, that is why it is a beta. The issues which you encountered should be reported so that they can get fixed with the specs of the machine. Someone else might have your problem and also has reported it? Don't know in your case.

Well I can say that I partially agree with you, but I still found a way to install it on a dead NTFS partition where windows resided. I deleted the partition with Gparted Live CD and tried to install Fedora 10 Beta with ext4/ext4dev filessytem(to test it out), I had a hard time installing it, but after several tries I succeeded :) I was running KDE and CPU was hovering due to an update, I reported to test-list and quickly Kevin sent in the packages that fixed it and today they were released in rawhide report-20081011.

I think that your experiences are better shared in fedora-test-list, and I probably know that you might not want to subscribe, but I can forward the responses or cc: them to you.
I don't know why, but packages break here and there, but most of them get fixed and mostly everything is getting better and better. Just like with everything some things are getting harder and harder, but I will concentrate on the positives.

Rawhide Cleared "Unreadable" Partition Table without Permission etc.
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Today's Rawhide install worked with pxeboot. I installed it to
a new partition on the fourth drive but somehow Rawhide
cleared the first drive's partition table despite being told not to.
I was able to reset the Windows partition with fdisk.
At this point I was able to do a graphical Rawhide 32 install
on the Intel DG45ID motherboard. The previous problems
of the image download stalling and the computer locking
up did not appear. I am typing this on the new install.
The ethernet works. Compiz works with the motherboard
video. Sound output works after setting the volume.
Congratulations! Getting close.

I could watch to youtube trailers, now after recent updates, I get a
frozen screen and I see the loading bar proceed to the end but nothing
happens..
When I read philosophic discussions about Fedora, I want to remind
everybody that multimedia is becoming more and more important on the
Web, and I find always a pain to have a fully functional
system....sometimes I would love to a have the stupid but working
Windows Mediaplayer..:-(

pulseaudio crashing in F-9
by Peter Robinson
Is anyone else seeing issues with pulseaudio crashing in Fedora 9? I
haven't managed to work out why but it doesn't seem to matter what I'm
using (totem, rhythmbox, swfdec, pidgin) I seem to lose audio. I think
I've been seeing the issue for a while (silent rhythmbox and pidgin
crashes) but I've only just managed to work out what was causing it.
I've filed bug 466231 in BZ.

evolution exchange problems in rawhide
by David L
Is anybody else having problems with evolution exchange in rawhide?
I can't seem to send or receive mail. I have had various errors such
as:
"No mail submission URI for this mailbox".
I logged in as a different user that had never used evolution before
and set up evolution/exchange from scratch because I thought it
might be an upgrade problem. But even in a new account,
I can't seem to read email at all with evolution exchange. I'm
pretty sure I set up the evolution settings identically to the way
I had them in f9. If anybody else is having problems, I'll open a bugzilla
report.
Thanks,
David
