pulse is silent, alsa works, any hints for fixing pulse?
by Tom Horsley
Ever since I installed the nvidia binary driver to get video
working on my GTX 750Ti card, the audio is screwed up.
If I suspend pulse and run alsamixer to unmute all
the built in audio devices on the motherboard, I
can play audio fine with a command line:
aplay -Dplug:front
But if I run pluseaudio, and set the output to the
motherboard's analog stereo output, I get no sound.
Is there any procedure for translating cryptic
working alsa into differently cryptic working pulse?
Is there some way to convince snd_hda_intel to utterly
ignore the nvidia display port/hdmi and only recognize
the natic motherboard audio?

EFI: how to dual boot without esc, F9 ?
by sean darcy
New HP laptop, W 8.1, EFI boot. I've installed F20. The laptop boots to
Windows. If I hit ESC and f9, I get:
- OS Boot Manager
- Fedora 20 [HDD SERIAL NUMBER]
- Boot from EFI file
When I choose Fedora, I get the grub2 manager, which includes a choice
for windows.
F10 in the gives me boot options, but only for devices.
How can I get the laptop to boot to the grub2 manager without esc, f9 ??

delayed messages

Hi,
how long do the moderators intend to delay my messages?
It seems that the code of conduct the moderators are referring to
actually means that everyone who disagrees will be silenced. If that is
so, just say so.

Couldn't tell you. I don't understand the man page well enough. (See
preceding and ongoing, ahem, discussions.)

I tend to agree.

5tFTW: DNF and Mailing List Wars, F21 Branch, FESCo Election, Python 3.5, and Docs Beats (2014-07-08)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-07-01/>.
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to follow it all. This series
highlights interesting happenings in five different areas every week.
It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries with links
to each. Here are the five things for July 1st, 2014:
What Does “Winning” Mean for Fedora?
------------------------------------
The Fedora Project Board is exploring the question “What is success for
Fedora?”, brought to the board-discuss mailing list by Board member
Josh Boyer. This is a public mailing list for all Fedora community
members, and we welcome your thoughtful contributions to the
discussion.

FESCo Summer Election
---------------------
We are holding an election for three open seats on FESCo, the Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee. More information on Fedora Magazine,
in an announcement I sent this morning, and of course directly on
the Fedora Project wiki.

Workstation To-Do List
----------------------
Fedora Workstation Working Group member Christian Schaller recently
posted a message about the group’s new Tasklist wiki page, which
details current and future tasks for the subproject, and explains how
you can get involved (or simply better follow what’s currently going
on).

Google Summer of Code Project: Bugspad
--------------------------------------
Last week, I highlighted Google Summer of Code work in Fedora on the
Waartaa chat system. This week, take a look at Fedora contributor
Mayank Jha’s work on Bugspad, a new bug tracker focused on speed and
aimed at replacing Bugzilla. In last Thursday’s Fedora Infrastructure
meeting, Mayank notes that at test instance will be deployed on our
internal private cloud and that he’s currently testing it with a
million (auto-generated) bugs (the kind of load we need to handle in
real-world Fedora).

EPEL in CentOS 7
----------------
And finally, a quick note from our sibling project, CentOS.
EPEL (“Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux”) is a long-standing Fedora
subproject which targets Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS, providing
a wide universe of packages that aren’t provided by Red Hat. Many of
these packages are very close to their Fedora equivalents, and it’s a
common entry-point to Fedora for sysadmins and other folks who work in
the enterprise world as their day job.
CentOS developer Jim Perrin notes on the centos-devel mailing list
that, as of the upcoming CentOS 7 release, the `epel-release` package
will be included in the centos-extras repository (although not
installed by default). That means to get Fedora-produced EPEL packages
on CentOS, you’ll just have to `yum install epel-release` and then
install whatever you like.

live cd install to a LV
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
Is it possible to install a live CD to a logical volume any more? I've
tried repeatedly and just when I think I've got it the installer refuses
to proceed.
At one time this was possible. I needed lot of copies of f14 to use as
virtual machines so I installed to hard disk and on completion was
prompted to install to more hard disks. From that point on it took 70
seconds per copy.
Now it seems that I need a physical partition and to create copies from
that. Very time consuming, not to mention the lack of flexibility
involved in using physicals vs logicals.
If it is no longer possible what is the culprit and is it possible to
modify it?
Second question: is there anywhere to get zipped copies of o/s images?
I'd like to be able to create installs without having to shut down and
run a live CD.
Thanks for help and pointers,
Mike Wright
