Fedora Installation :: Could Not Capture Mic Input For Skype
Mar 22, 2010
I just upgrade to F12 from F10 and having problem with Skype mic audio. it was working well with F10 before.
I have try to plug in a mic for internal sound card and using external USB headse, both sources could not capture my mic audio. I try to use Gnome Volume preference to select the source and it makes no different. I also noticed the output volume is low on USB headset too
Just get it working on playing with Gnome Volume preference. I find that on headset input and output audio, I have to crank it up to 100% range to get it working. Volume control seems to be useful from 80-100% Problem solved, hope pulseaudio would improve the volume control

I basically want to record audio streams. The most useful purpose is to record conversations on skype (and other applications). This is for a legitimate reason if anyone is worried; I often have long conference calls on skype (an another voip collaborative tool called EVO), and a recording would be a nice way to keep minutes and participate in the working meeting. I'm not worried about capturing video yet. The audio is the important for me for now. This is going to display my woeful ignorance of Linux audio systems. I'm running F12 x86_64 on a Dell inspiron laptop. I believe that the system is using the PulseAudio sound server.
I thought something like:
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp sample.mp3
Could work, but I don't have a /dev/dsp. I think these are in a separate directory /dev/snd; however the content of this directory is not clear which device is the appropriate one. I tried pointing ffmpeg to a few of them, but it resulted in errors thus:
/dev/snd/hwC0D0: no such file or directory
I know it's there because [tab] complete. I found another alternative which uses parec.
parec --format=s16le --rate=44100 -channels=2 sample.raw
Unfortunately this only records the microphone input and not everything else going through my sound server. I wish I could find the link again, but there was a third alternative which required writing a bit of C code. I thought that could be a nice little project to better acquaint myself with this stuff.

I need to use Skype to contact my kids in South Africa. I live in the UK. This is very important for me. Surely there must be a fix by now on 64bit 10.04 to use mic capture or a workaround.

i have sound but my mic capture seems to be not working in skype or well anything else and I'm confused on what to do after searching. It's an integrated mic somewhere in my laptop. I enabled capture in Kmix but that didn't seem to do anything.

I'm using tcpdump and tcptrace to track all incoming and outgoing data packets through my network interfaces. But I fail to monitor the voip data for skype that way, although it works well with http port 80, for example.
I want to track the ip address of the data packets for skype, i.e. know the ip address of the other one speaking at the other end of skype. How can I achieve this?
I've checked the port setting in my skype and I'm sure I'm listening on the right port. But nothing is showing up while I'm in connection with skype.

I have been searching for an answer through most of the recent posts about sound issues but have not been able to find a solution. I am currently unable to capture sound from the "Line" input on my sound card. I do have sound and is working correctly for all applications and I do have P/A disabled (I'm not a huge fan of the sound quality with P/A enabled). I have checked and re-checked many settings but to no avail have not been able to capture sound. I'm sure I may be missing something or have not done something in order for this to work. I was using openSUSE 11.4 on a different pc and had no problems, unfortunately this is a different pc with a different sound card which is on-board so I am not entirely familiar with it yet.
It is a C-media CMI9880 which shows up as a Intel HDA (ICH6) and appears to be configured correctly.

When I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

I'm trying to install Skype in Fedora 12 KDE which I just installed recently. I tried downloading skype-2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm and double-clicking on the .RPM and letting KPackageManager handle it but that returned and "unknown error". So I tried to follow the steps found here: [URL]. When I tried #yum install skype after running I got the following error message:

I had the following problem while i installed fedora on my machine: The boot record was normally read from the installation CD and the boot screen appear, (up to this moment my Graphic Adapter is going fine) then i select the first option (which is the default as well) to boot fedora from the CD, and suddenly my monitor inform me that there is no input signal. I think it might be some driver problem, but my adapter is pretty common i think (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT), so its not very likely.
Things i have to note:
1. My Adapter is working on my Windows installation.
2. I manage to install fedora by removing my GeForce 9600 GT and using the on board Graphical Card from my main board.

I have downloaded & installed the skype beta release for linux (now ancient?) on my newly build fedora 14 (64) box.
Under fedora 12, I made this work after several hours of mucking around by installing old libraries for 32 bit code in /lib and /usr/lib - as I got an error, I found the library and put it in place. This was painful and the WRONG way to do things - I should have been using yum!
It remains a shame that the Skype release for Linux is so old, but that is life.
Can anyone list the libraries needed (prefer yum names if possible) to make this work?
I can do this again the hard way and list the results for others (should have saved for myself, but I never dreamed that a newer Skype release would take so long) , but I am sure many folks have this working already. I am surprised there is no "yum install skype---" command.

I'm having problems with the screen capture utility in Fedora 11. Everytime i capture a screenshot, it looks like this:[url]
I've tried turning off Compiz, but that doesn't do anything. I suspect it may have something to do with the kms (I have an Intel 82855/855GM, which has had issues in beta).

I wonder if there is the possibility of getting to press any key and the F6 for example, Fedora starts up a screenshot, equal to application "form screen capture image" in the menu acessories .. The problem is that if I want to do this I have to be opening up the application every time .. and I like to do with was fast, just by clicking F6 or printscreen for example ..

I'm trying to get skype going in Fedora 12 KDE x86_64 (fully updated). I did some testing with and without the pulseaudio server installed. With the pulseaudio, I didn't manage at all. I know I got it working before _without_ pulseaudio, but after a yum update the pulseaudio got reinstalled and the mic stopped working. Now I traced this problem down to what I think is wrong: I have a HDA Intel sound card, but 'cat /proc/asound/devices', doesn't show me any analog capture input at all:
cat /proc/asound/devices
2: : timer
3: : sequencer

I am relatively new to using awk. I have a file with 10 identical lines. The last field in each line is a numeric. I want to check each of these lines and if the last field is greater than 500, I want to capture the line and send it in an e-mail. I know how to do this with a single line, but I don't know how to step through all 10 lines.

An unsuccessful login via a tty by a known user and an unknown user will generate an almost exact line in /var/log/secure with the exception of the last field. To see this specifically do Ctrl-Alt-F2, for example. Now login with a known user and log out. Next attempt a login with a bogus user name which fails. Go back to your GUI enviroment (Ctrl-Alt-F7) and then tail /var/log/secure. For the known user the last field will be "user=some_name_here. The unknown user will not have a "user=" field.
How do I capture the two via different variables in bash?
For example: KNOWN_USER=`syntax that finds the user= field.` echo There is a user= field and the user is mmouse.
UNKNOWN_USER=`syntax that does NOT find the user= field` echo There is NO user= field and an unknown user tried to login.
If been exploring using sed to grab (or not grab) that last field, but haven't hit upon the right syntax yet.
