Federer !!!

Federer was finally able to break the serve of Andy Roddick in the 5th set which he won 16-14. The although lasted 5hrs, was marred, yes marred by Aces, Federer with 50 and Andy with 27. The match was all on serves, hardly with any rallies going.

Siddhagad Trek

Monsoons had just arrived and we couldn’t resist the first one of the wet season, Siddhagad. Located near Murbad, between Gorakhgad and Bhimashankar, it was a good outing for us, Vj, Mallik, R.A. Jo B.A, Sneha, Swati and Kudrat. We could’ve hiked the final Balekilla, but as we were on a tight one-day schedule, we had to reach up to the cave atop the Siddhagad machi and return back.

Fedora 11 on Acer 4736Z

I finally managed to get a new Laptop, Acer 4736Z. I’d to wait before Fedora 11’s download was complete and I could install it.

Overview

  • Graphics card works out of the box (1366×768 resolution)
  • Sound is detected well
  • Wireless and bluetooth are working
  • The Web Camera is detected and working well
  • The Brightness control doesn’t work
  • The gsynaptics had to be installed to enable tap on the touchpad

All and all it looks good. Here is a screenshot.

Pulseaudio CPU usage
Great work, Pulseaudio in F11 uses lesser CPU as compared to Fedora 10 Pulse Audio

Fedora 10 Pulse Audio High CPU Usage

Guys using Fedora 10, must’ve seen this problem of Pulseaudio taking high CPU usage. After a lot of tweaking, I came to this. From System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound

Change all the drop downs to ALSA. Just make sure u “Test” and hear the tone before applying the changes.

Update

I’ve done this yum remove pulseaudio. This removes the root cause 🙂
