Fedora Installation :: How To Eliminate The Background Noise
May 31, 2010
I just installed Fedora 12, I have Linux Cetified Machine (got it in 2004). The backgorung noise is something that I didn't have before; my previous installation was Fedora 8. how to eliminate the background noise.
I get no sound during recording - respectively just a background-noise - ssssssssssss - when I turn ON CAPTURE and DIGITAL volume input to 100% ON. When I mute CAPTURE or DIGITAL this sound disappear..
In Skype I get no sound recording at all..
I have a few mixers - alsamixer, kmix, gnome-alsamixer, aumix... all seems to corespond and react to each other.
Actually i have no Microphone posibility in mixers and as well nothing through aumix..
In System/Settings/Sound - in sound record test: "Failed test tubes for structures" 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
Device HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer).. as well I have a posibility of choosing VIA ID 4397 (OSSM ixer)
How do I eliminate the "TrashPail icon", and the "Computer icon" off the desktop..? I likes and needs a clean desktop, to display pix-edits, so there isn't anything pulling away the focus from the pix... It's a bit of a nightmare having a pix of a garbage-pail in ones face when the artist is trying to focus on the fine quality of his artistry...
I've sucessfully installed Fedora 11 into a SunVirtualBox machine, but I would like to elimate from the boot sequence the GUI Startup. If I need it I could invoke the GUI from the command line. How I coud get this?
I presently dual boot with Vista Home Premium and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Since the installation of Ubuntu about 8 months ago, my Grub menu at boot up shows all the updates for Ubuntu 2.6.32-24, -25 and -26. How can I eliminate the first two and only leave the latest update?
I just upgraded a F9 to F11 using the network install. After the successful install message, I rebooted to find the boot stuck on a grub prompt. After determining that somehow grub had not been installed properly, I used the rescue mode to re-install grub. When I then rebooted, I saw a blank (black) screen during the rhgb sequence, with just the multicolor progress bar moving from left to right. As the bar reached the right side, the standard F11 login screen appeared. The system is an old Omnibook 8000 laptop. Here is my grub.conf
Code: # grub.conf generated by anaconda Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 ro root=UUID=9b55f5fd-a5d3-4408-8db7-0c64b0f6a7fa rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586.img
My desktop becomes very quiet once windows7 is loaded.. but the fan, maybe cpu fan runs continuously in fedora 13. though it's not quite noisy, I thought I didn't install the correct drivers for the Asus h55 mb. the mb cd has a directory "isolinux", which contains a boot.cat, isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg along with two subdirectories, data & src. but isolinux.bin is not executable.. how can I install the drivers in fedora?
I've installed Fedora 13 from DVD and selected some extra features (php, mySQL). After the installation and user creation, I rebooted and logged in - clean clean desktop. No menu, no panel nothing. But I can run some commands (like firefox) from ALT+F2. It looks as if the commands works fine, but no menu.
I've re-installed my whole system.... same thing after logging in. I can see the bottom panel before log in.
Whatever I should do, I can only through command line as I'm able (from ALT+F2) to open a terminal. I suspect my resolution or something.
I'm working from a Acer laptop who's monitor is broken, connected a Samsung SyncMaster 943nwx to it. Its a 17" wide monitor.
make my own home server to play with. While reading a guide I found out about a package of software called Amahi. Very easy and yet so powerful says the site. That's what I need! I looks cool and indeed pretty easy. I already start smiling because I have this old Ubuntu 11.04 computer here. Then I see that Amahi runs best on Fedora 14 and that the support for Ubuntu is still in Alpha phase. No problem, let's install F14 then. I put everything right in the BIOS. I downloaded the DVD iso image, burned it and put it in my drive. Nothing happens, soon I realise that drive only accepts CD's. I quickly change it with a CD/DVD drive of another computer, but still nothing happens. Then I read about this LiveUSB thing. I do everything needed and change boot sequence to Removable. It still keeps booting Ubuntu on Hard Disk 0. My last resort: Fedora Live i686 iso on a CD. Things go as expected. What am I doing wrong? I just want to see that (probably) blue background of Fedora booting instead of that purple one of Ubuntu.
I did a fresh install of F14, and I am using adobe 64bit flash plugin,on "some" websites such as yahoo movie trailers, flash videos are played with an audio which comes with lots of annoying noise. the video itself is played smoothly without any problem but the sound is terrible to my astonishment, this problem shows up only on a number of web sites, and on others such as ..... the sound is clear.
I have had problems with pulseaudio since F13 so the problem is not new just that I have been working since 12 AM till now 6:30 AM trying to fix it and I have failed the only thing left from what I see is a complete reinstall. When I start skype it works for 5 secs then the sound becomes corrupt and make a large crackling noise. I have reinstalled alsa and pulse atleast 10 times removed any trace of config files and still the same result. It first broke when I turned off tsched in hopes that my microphone will no longer broadcast a buzzing sound. This setting broke everything and even after I reverted it the symptoms remained the same. It's 3rd time I reinstall fedora because of pulseaudio. Until the problem can be fixed I have reverted back to ALSA.
Anyone know why each time I boot up the machine the cube background image goes away and the background colour is left. This image i am placing is in Apparency/Skydome
I am familiar with bash, but my works require csh. in my .cshrc, I created this alias:alias cd 'cd !:1; ls -l' It works very well except for one case: when I cd without any parameter:
cd In which case, I get the "Bad ! arg selector" error. How do I eliminate this error?
Very often I have to leave my computer for a few minutes while in the process of downloading files, or just to get a cup of coffee, and when I come back, I have to re-enter my password to continue. This level of security is unnecessary since I am the only one here, and there is no danger of anyone ever messing with my PC. How can I eliminate these annoying login requests? One reason I am trying to get away form Windows is to have the computer do what I want, and not what other people think I want. I have been experimenting with various Linux OSs and several versions of Ubuntu, and this is an annoyance in every one I try.
I have a few problem. I have a txt file that convert from pcap to txt file. What I want is to eliminate unwanted text from my txt file. Here is the example of the what I want to do:
Whenever I login to a certain server using SSH I get a very long delay before a prompt appears. Everything I looked up on this issue says that it's a DNS issue and that I should disable reverse DNS lookups on the server.
But, the remote server is a shared webhosting server. I e-mailed the sysadmins but they say they have no DNS issue and that they won't change the server configuration. So, how can I fix this issue from my side (client side)? I have a static IP address and a hostname that points to it.
I'd like to eliminate anything unnecessary from my Ubuntu Server box (on a Compact Flash IDE drive) and set it up to boot into RAM. I've seen ways of getting a live CD to do this and seen other distributions that are designed to do this, but since I'm familiar with Ubuntu, I'd like to be able to get rid of my swap space and make the existing installation boot to RAM.
I don't need password protection, I don't have it on Windows 7 for any acct, and also don't want it on linux.However, as a non-tech person, I couldn't eliminate this requirement.I tried inputting an easy password to minimize inconvenience but was warned it was either "too short" or "too simple".
I have a Macbook running Ubuntu Karmic and I have been asked to DJ (amateur to the MAX) a friend's wedding next weekend. I don't have the coin to spend on a Mixer so I can run my mic and laptop through my amp so I figure I'd just run the Mic into the mic input on my Macbook and let the laptop do the mixing for me.Well, I added the loopback module to Pulse and inserted a command to have it auto start:
I use tcl-expect script to ssh to the server. How can I eliminate the first 2 lines if using system(./script.sh) to execute it, as the default output will be shown on shell and the first 2 lines are included.
Essentially I just want to have the "ps" result, not the login process. code...
Every time kubuntu updates its headers/boot image I get another version on disk in /boot. These also show up in menu choices when I boot. I currently have 7 or 8 versions and would like to get down to three or four.
In the past I just deleted the files of related versions from /boot but is this the preferred method? Is there a better/safer way to get rid of old kernels?
