Slowness

Rhythmbox under Fedora imports my songs 5 times slower than under Mandrake. Any ideas why?

Even worse. When I set my hostname using 'hostname', new X apps suddently don't launch.

GNOME scares me sometimes. KDE does as well, though...

eh. Rhythmbox always moved slow for me.. and used quite a bit of resources importing songs.. I just import a few folders at a time and it does alright.. takes a bit but safer...

switched to XFCE!

now sound is broken
terminal takes 10 minutes to start, waiting on some d-bus server
even firefox is slower!

I ran system-config-soundcard, played a test sound, and rhythmbox starts playing. But I had modprobed before. grah...

seemingly everthing else is fine... however, don't know how to roam...

xscreensaver's screensavers are missing.

I knows whats wrong with yer sound, its stupid..

you'll need to mute/turn off jack sence..
Do Not Turn Your Speakers All The Way Up when you do this.. gads.. I had my 12" sub plugged in and all the way up.. then checked the mute box and BOOOM.. "People Are Strange" blared out at me..

well, as long as your sound card was configured right that should fix it

I havnt a clue why they did that to xscreensaver
you'll just need to run
yum check-update
yum search xscreensaver
yum install -packagename-

wireless seems to automatically latch onto the strongest signal...

"People are Strange" is a great song!
Thank you very much for the tips. I really appreciate it.

yum repo was down earlier today, I think. I'll try that tomorrow.

grr.. I just reformatted my drive after backing everything up to my external.. and now the external is out.. well, the drive's casing is broke..

meh.
gotta call iomega in the mornin..

you should try reading the yum tutorials on livna if you plan on keeping Fedora for a bit.. yum is great, but you have to add repos or its rather worthless.. livna and freshrpms are good places.. google them..

Yep I've added them. Things seem to be smooth now. I'll check out KDE in the morning because of kwifimanager and stuff...
Thanks for your help.

yep. infact, I dont really use a manager for wireless.. theres a network tool.. and I cant remember what its callled, it might just be listed as 'network' on the menu, but it allows you to turn on/off your different connections and edit them.. you can tell it to turn on connections at startup if you want.. <-- you've probably already found that

ah, and can I see your yum.conf file? I made mine work, but its kinda.. messy, like everything else I do in linux

I think I found that yes, but not the one to configure multiple wireless networks. However, I do want to have control over roaming.

Since when? How did you feel when you found that yes but not the one to configure multiple wireless networks ?Why do you want control over roaming?

Yep, later today. Thanks!
