Latest updates broke KDE sound
by LPM
I just updated two systems. They use different hardware, but I run
primarily KDE in both. One system updated and sound worked fine. The
second system lost sound in KDE. I can delete ~/.pulse and .pulse-cookie,
log out, log in and have sound for that session. I can play music, get
system sounds, etc. Once I log out, and back in, no sound. I can tap on
the microphone and hear that in the speakers. I can run
aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav and hear that. If I log out of
KDE and into GNOME, I can run any application with sound and they work
fine. All sound worked fine prior to today's updates, which included the
latest pulse updates.
lspci:
00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
I checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. Checked Pulse Audio Volume
Control and everything looks OK there. Again, I want to emphasize that
(other than no login sounds in GNOME, which I believe is a known issue)
all the applications play sounds fine in GNOME. I have rebooted several
times. No change to KDE. Switch back and forth with KDE, and GNOME,
everything is fine in GNOME, but no login/logout sounds, or system sounds,
or application sounds in KDE.
Since sound is fine in GNOME, I would guess that it is some sort of
configuration problem in KDE. Although I try to set up both my systems,
to be indentical, within the constraints of the hardware, and sound is fine
in KDE on the other system.
If anyone has an idea what I can try next, please let me know. Meanwhile,
I can at least run in GNOME.
Thank you for any help.

Open with Other Application dialog has some entries duplicated.
by Paolo Galtieri
When I right click on a file and bring up the "Open with Other
Application" dialog I notice that some entries have multiple entries.
For example Okular is listed over a dozen times, Firefox is listed twice
as is Brasero. Is there a way to fix this?

Clean install of Fedora 12 will not bring up login screen after upgrade
by jnissley@nissley.org
I did a clean installation of Fedora 12 from the CD today and the first
boot was fine. I could log into the computer and get the graphical
interface. I then did a yum upgrade and 500 MB later the upgrade was
finished. I then rebooted the computer and now the boot gets stuck at
the f that looks like infinity which is just before the login screen
would display. I can boot into single user mode and also get into text
mode but the graphical mode will not give me the login screen. I saw
that there was not a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so I ran Xorg -configure to
create one but that did not help either.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Anyone know of a program to read dicom files?
by Paolo Galtieri
Anyone know of a program to read dicom files on Linux?
I tried both cinepaint and gimp which claim to support dicom files, but
cinepaint crashes and gimp says
Procedure 'file-dicom-load' returned no return values
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Chris,
The original command was
tar cvzf F11_Home_Dave_20091217.tar.gz /home/Dave
and the "problem" is that tar tvh F11*gz lists all the files on the F11
desktop, but when the external HDD is transferred to the F12 laptop, tar
tvh (and ark) give the errors quoted...
The reason I went with tar tvh was (to try) to check the contents of
the file after "open with ark" in Dollphin spat out the errors. I guess
that actually trying to extract the files when the table of contents
fails would not be any more successful?
Thanks

How many people need to use the proprietary nvidia driver ? (Or other non kms driver ?)
by linux guy
Please reply if you need to ( ie must) use the proprietary nvidia driver
instead of the nouveau driver.
Or some other video driver that doesn't support kernel mode switching.
DON'T reply otherwise, I don't want to hear a debate on the free
versions versus proprietary or anything else.
If you are using the proprietary nvidia driver or some other non kms
equipped driver, how are you finding F12 ? Ie do you experience
freezing when you access some panel items ?
Thanks
