Open Edit and select all tracks.


Start testing the tracks one by one.
=== Bootcharts ===


Test playing media and different types of media in a terminal window.
Please record information about you and your bootup time in the table below.
 
<pre>paplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
 
Test playing the same file(s) through media players that use
gstreamer for a backend.
 
First check if gstreamer is using pulseaudio sound server:
 
<pre>gstreamer-properties</pre>
 
Then test playing a file.
 
<pre>gnome-mplayer /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
 
Test players that dont use gstreamer for a backend.
 
<pre>su -c 'yum -y install audacious'</pre>
 
Go to preference of that player and make sure it's using PulseAudio.
 
Start audacious the <ctrl>p select Audio and make sure Current output plugin
is set to PulseAudio output plugin.
 
<pre>audacious /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
If you have a sound card that supports surround sound you can enable surround sound
by editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
 
Find the line that has "; default-sample-channels = 2"
change 2 to 6 for 5.1 or to 8 for 7.1 then restart the pulseudio.
 
Consult the documentation of the media player that you use
on how to set it to play 5.1 audio.
 
Take a look at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
 
Please add your thoughts below or discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.
 
 
'''Things to Avoid:'''
* emu10k-based cards ... the driver is buggy
* Bluetooth audio devices
* Closed-source software (skype, flash etc...)
* Fiddling with ''default.pa'' should be avoided
 
'''Debugging Tips:'''
* Add your user to the pulse-rt group. Note you will need to logout and in again for it to take effect.
 
<pre>su -c '/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G pulse-rt <username>'</pre>
 
* Kill pulseaudio
 
<pre>pulseaudio -k</pre>
 
* Start pulseaudio verbose mode
 
<pre>pulseaudio -vvvv</pre>
 
* Ensure the volume is up and unmuted using either:
** ''alsamixer''
** ''pavucontrol''
** ''alsamixer -c0'' (to bypass PA)
 
* Are any ''$HOME/.asoundrc*' files present that might be customizing your sound preferences?
 
* Are any sound-related messages present in ''/var/log/messages'' or ''dmesg'' ?
 
* Include the URL generated by running [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh] in any bug reports
 
* Include output of aplay -L, the verbose pulseaudio -vvvv output (see above) and the output of "ls" inside of "pacmd" in any bug reports.
 
* If you found CPU load related issues, please include oprofile dumps in your bug report. See the cheat sheet: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/docs/
 
* For crashes include a full backtrace.
 
* Include your smoltProfile url in any bug report. Encase you did not send it in the first place..
 
<pre>su -c 'smoltSendProfile -a'</pre>
 
* Consult http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ

How to join?

For information on joining a Fedora Test Day, see QA/Test_Days#Where_are_Test_Days_held.3F

What to test?

This week's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:

Preparing for Test Day

Depending on the speed of your connection and the time available for testing, there are several methods available for

Live Images

  1. Please download a live ISO image for your architecture:
  2. Prepare your live image by following the instructions at FedoraLiveCD
  3. Or run the dowloaded ISO image in qemu: 
     su -c 'qemu -cdrom Fedora-10-Beta-i686-Live.iso -m 512 -std-vga'

Install Media

  1. Consult the installation guide for quick start information to determine the best install method for your needs.
  2. Follow instructions for installing your system.
    • Alternatively, on an already installed system:
      1. Install snake: 
        yum install snake
      2. Configure your system for installation: 
        snake-install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/11-Beta/Fedora/i386/os

How to test?

Use a live cd or make a default all install.

Open a terminal window and run: 

su -c 'yum -y install bootchart'

Open /sbin/bootchartd with your favorit text editor and go to line 121

Change the line..


From 

local exit_proc="gdmgreeter gdm-binary kdm-greet kdm ldm"

To 

local exit_proc="firefox"

Or open up a terminal window and run 

su -c 'sed 's/gdmgreeter\ gdm-binary\ kdm-greet\ kdm\ ldm/firefox/g' File > File

Open /etc/bootchartd.conf and go to line 13 

SAMPLE_PERIOD=0.2

To 

SAMPLE_PERIOD=20

Or open up a terminal window and run 

su -c 'sed 's/0.2/20/g' File > File


Bootcharts

Please record information about you and your bootup time in the table below.

Need help?

We'll have a host of QA and Development characters hanging out discussing bugs (aka "features"), expectations, and test areas. I've included details below for how you can contribute below.

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
