Bug 11824

@ Mrs B

Do you agree with not putting this bug on the pad, and with not cc'ing others, it isn't that urgen, is it?

CC: (none) => eeeemail
Whiteboard: (none) => 4beta2

BTW I killed the OSS <-> ALSA switch button since OSS drivers were killed years ago.
Fell free to pick the filename you want ("sound-config"?).
My 2 cents.

It's a docteam bug really marja, do whatever you need with it :)

Mention it on the pad if you like. The pad is only really used by QA and Anne/Thomas.

re-assigning to docteam, to write that file :-)

(reminder: we need newest installer for screenshotting, because the screen changed)

@ Thierry

Thanks for letting us pick the file name :-)

Personally, I prefer soundConfig, because it is more like most other drakx-installer-help files.

I think we can re-use a lot of http://docteam.mageia.nl/en/MCC/content/draksound.html
 
However, during my upgrade Friday night, it was impossible to remove the ticks for pulse audio glitch free (the ticks and words in both lines were grey instead of black). 

Also, in the advanced screen I did not see the "Let me pick any driver" option.

Is it always like that in installer, or should the sound configuration in installer behave the same as in MCC (draksound)?

(and configureSound would be even more like them)

Maybe these peculiarities are related to recent changes by Thierry? (see last 9 commits in http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/log/perl-install/harddrake)

ah, yes, the "Let me pick any driver option" was removed for most cases:
"do not offer to pick a random driver when we've a default one"

But I look over what caused the grey-but-ticked "enable pulse audio" and "glitch free" lines.

@ Thierry,

If I'm correct to think that the top text in that screen, for me:
 "Here you can select an alternative driver (either OSS or ALSA) for your sound card (Intel Corporation|82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller)"

comes from line 199-200 of 
software/drakx/perl-install/harddrake/sound.pm :

N("Here you can select an alternative driver (either OSS or ALSA) for your sound card (%s).",
                                    $device->{description}) .

Could you then please remove those 2 lines?

Getting rid of those lines will make writing a little help text a lot easier ;-)

Done

Thanks, Thierry :-)

soundConfig.html has been committed to git for English, French, German and Ukrainian.

We'll wait for a few more translations before packaging the files.

soundConfig.html has been packaged now

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/drakx-installer-help/current/?view=log

but since I'm a padawan, someone still needs to review what I did before a freeze push request can be made

I did not manage to ceate tag 4.0 for current software/drakx-installer-help, either the method I used to tag 3.6 only works the first time tagging is done, or I made a typo when I documented how i had done it.

It took me more than an hour back then to find out how to do it, so this time I prefer to wait till someone tells me

indeed

I had left out the "--" in

"git push --tags" 

Freeze push request has been made.


@ Thierry

re-asigning to you, in case the link to soundConfig.html still needs to be created.

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW

Someone asked me whether this bug is still valid. I don't remember whether I checked when installing 5alpha or beta, but 

[marja@DenkBlok3Cauldron5a1 ~]$ grep -r soundConfig mgagit/software/drakx/                                                                        
[marja@DenkBlok3Cauldron5a1 ~]$

I can't find the link to soundConfig.html, so assume it is still valid.
