Fedora 12: no sound after switch users
by Neil Bird
Following on from another thread (in which gdm seemed to be stealing
sound-ability from users), I've updated to the latest pulseuadio RPMs from
updates-testing, and by situation seems to have gotten worse.
(NB: this is fedora 12; it was all working swimmingly in fedora 10, from
which I upgraded a few weeks back).
After a reboot, I log in. I have sound, no problems AFAICT. If I then
switch users for my wife to log in (while I remain logged in), she gets no
sound at all.
A quick investigation shows that her PA config. has dropped back to a
'dummy' output device. I can switch back to my login and hear my sound
again, but nothing i can do can get hers working again.
I am utterly at a loss as to how to debug/diagnose pulseaudio, it's gone
well beyond my ken; can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Here's the output of 'pulseaudio -vvv' :
https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/pa.out
And the two log files generated by system-config-sound (or whatever it's
called) run (as root) whilst logged in as my wife:
https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/scsconfig.log
https://www.fnxweb.co.uk/fnx/data/scsrun.log
I did notice some failed device access in the pa.out file, namely
"/dev/snd/pcmC7D0p", but that device isn't on my system. I have:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2010-03-07 16:41 by-id/

Suspend fails on Dell with 2.6.32
by William John Murray
Hello all,
Suspend was working well on a Dell E6400 until 2.6.32
Now the I915 driver for the 'Intel Mobile 4 series integrated graphics'
produces errors like:
Mar 9 09:39:49 hepntl141 kernel: render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000
Mar 9 09:39:56 hepntl141 kernel: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR*
Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
Mar 9 09:39:56 hepntl141 kernel: render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000
Mar 9 09:39:56 hepntl141 kernel: [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR*
i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awaiting 293412 at 293313)
and logs me off. Sometimes there is a message about failing to start a
second monitor, usually it just fails. There is no suspend - the laptop
sits there on, and closed.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Bill

I am not sure that will work. It depends upon what application you
use. In Fedora 11 my Dell integrated cam 'just worked'; in F12 the 'evo'
web conference tool doesn't seem to recognise it - I get an error about
'no openGL found'
If you have problems, and can find a 'live' F11 to check with, it
might be worth testing.

FC12 livecd-iso-to-disk woes
by Terry Horsnell
Hi all,
I'm trying to make a USB version of the FC12 livecd.
I follow the instructions at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo
and type (as root):
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdc1
but the resulting USB stick just gives me 'Boot Error' when I boot it.
If I use the dd method:
# dd if=Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8M
it boots correctly. I ultimately want a persistent-storage
area so the dd solution is no good for me.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Terry

Changing the DHCP address of a machine on my Local LAN
by Aaron Konstam
I have a LAN at home of 4 machines. Up to yesterday all of them were
getting their ip addresses from the DSL router I have at home. Suddenly
one of the machines (an F12 machine) began to use ATT's DHCP server to
get its ip address.
I know there is a way to change that machine back to using the router at
home to get DHCP service but I have forgotten how to do this. Can
someone help me?

selinux file permissions
by Gregory P. Ennis
Dear List,
I am finally getting into selinux. Can anyone on this list recommend a
tutorial?
Is there a way to be able to do a list command like ls -alt to see the
selinux permissions of the file.
