I did not see those problems that you and others pointed out, but as of two or three days I tried to play music for more than 2 or 3 hours and I encountered them. The problem seems to be between pulseaudio and alsa. I play mp3s and oggs on my computer and I choose (-ao alsa) option in mplayer and it skips songs and pulseaudio dies out and refers me to the Wiki for the Perfect setup. If I let mplayer play by default it works using (oss) and it does not stop and pulseaudio is happy.
Thank you for letting me know about the bugzilla, I know that there are several, but since I did not encounter these issues, and now I am then I can certainly comment on them whenever I can.

anyone have a Lenovo T400 with working ethernet?
by Per Bothner
Could you send me the output of
/usr/sbin/ethtool -e eth0
That may allow me to restore my still-broken e1000e ...
Karsten Keil (of SuSE) has been helping me restore my
Ethernet device. We thought we had an image that worked
(I was able to use eth0 for a few hours), but alas after
a reboot it is broken again/still. An image from a working
T400 would be helpful.

dmraid problems - Intel ICH9R raid not recognized by Fedora 10 Preview
by kvantanet@seznam.cz
Server: PRIMERGY RX100 S5
Make: Fujitsu Siemens Computers
Processor: 1x Xenon Quad Core/ 2xSATAII 500GB / RAID chip Intel ICHR9
/motherboard FSC
Will be affecting also PRIMERGY Econel Servers with RAID chip Intel ICHR9
We have configured a RAID 1 array on Intel ICH9R raid. Which in fact uses LSI
firmware and appear like LSI Software SATA RAID Bios Version: A.06.05071459R
This is a fakeRAID so dmraid is used to deal with it.
A) Using Fedora 10 Preview the RAID array is not recognized at all.
In the anaconda installer just appear 2 separate SATA disks.
B) Using Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 Beta the RAID array is recognized but when
booting appears an error message which is actually not affecting the
functionality of the OS (The system boots up OK). Not sure of dmraid (RAID) functionality in case of a crash.
Error:
<SNIP>
Setting hostname localhost.localdomain [OK]
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 350: 1336 Segmentation fault /sbin/dmraid.static -ay
-i -p
"$dmname" > /dev/null 2>&1
Setting up Logical Volume Management : 2 logical volumes........
</SNIP>
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F10 Preview x86_64 DVD
F10 Beta x86_64 DVD
F9 Release x86_64 DVD
I thing there is something seriously wrong with dmraid in F10. Anybody out there with similar experience.
We have planned to use F10 on our servers if solution would be provided.
I have posted a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471737

Thanks, I'll try the new kernel.
On a related subject, having booted without nomodeset and used
it that way all day today, the window refresh performance seemed
very slow. Could there be a correlation or is it something else (or
am I halucinating)? Are there any benchmark tools that put X through
some speed tests to compare before/after performance?
Thanks,

Anyone Testing F10 On Latitude E-Series Notebooks?
by Robert L Cochran
Is anyone out there testing Fedora 10 on a Dell E-series notebook like
the E6400 or E6500? Preferably with the P9500 processor, 4 Gb memory,
ExpressCard (The E6500 has ExpressCard by default) and the most
expensive Bluetooth option? How is it doing?
Thanks

Fedora-10 killed my computer ...
by Timothy Murphy
Has anyone found the F10 has done something nasty to their BIOS?
I transferred the Fedora-10-Snap3-i686-Live-KDE.iso
to a USB stick following the instructions at
<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/sn-making-media.html>.
This went fine; I like the new (I think) liveusb-creator program.
I used the USB stick to install Fedora-10 on two Thinkpads.
Then I tried it on a machine with an Asus/AMD motherboard.
The Live CD seemed to start OK, but then it froze.
Now for the disaster.
When I went to re-boot the machine
it said "NO Keyboard Detected --- Press F1".
On pressing F1 I found that the keyboard was indeed disabled.
But after a couple of seconds Fedora - the default OS - booted,
and when it started the keyboard was working normally.
I changed the default to Windows in grub.conf , and re-booted.
Again, I could not change the chosen OS as the keyboard was disabled,
but Windows started up fine.
I could not get back to Fedora easily, as I could not access grub.conf
in Windows; but I was able to use a Knoppix CD
to mount Fedora \boot , and edit grub.conf .
Now, my question is:
Was the fact that this happened after running F10
a pure coincidence?
I'm intending to look at the CMOS battery,
and perhaps try re-installing the BIOS.
Any other suggestions gratefully received.

NetworkManager connection to encrypted Wireless Network
by Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow testers,
I have a machine with wireless card that NetworkManager identifies but cannot connect. The Administrator at school tried to connect it, but gnome-keyring came out and asked for the password. I put in my own root password, but the connection failed :(. The network is encrypted and it has a key and he put the key, but gnome-keyring gets in the way and I am denied a connection. What can I do to make this machine connect with wireless?
In the other case, when a wire is present it connects without problems.
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_52cf9c16-aa07-4697-8df6-7b47eb9855f4 (public)
The machine has a wireless nic supported by Atheros ath5k driver
(Thanks to Mr. Linville and all other contributors to the project, the card is identified and it tries to connect)
The card is an
Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC
I do not know the password to the gnome-keyring. The network adminstrator can put the key in but that keyring pops up and destroys everything. On windoze the machine picks up without problems. I would like to have the same functionality on the Linux side if possible.
Thank you in advance for all your help/suggestions/advice.
Regards,
Antonio
