<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi y'all,<br><br>Can anyone recommend a responsive and responsible forum for installation help?<br><br>I've been flailing with the Planet CCRMA since about Fedora 6, modprobing madly to get my<br>Audigy recognized and trying (mostly in vain) to mediate between PulseAudio and Alsa.<br>In my early days on a screaming 600 MHz machine I'd fire up Ardour and 45 minutes later <br>it would still be trying to draw the first screen. Mostly I just use Audacity, Hydrogen, and <br>Zynaddsubfx in Windows--because they work. Recently I actually briefly got Jack to work <br>In Fedora 19 with Hydrogen and Zynaddsubfx--a major breakthrough for me which was soon <br>wiped out when I played a Youtube and I guess the flashplayer reset the audio to some <br>configuration foreign to Jack. <br><br>So I rashly decided to upgrade to Fedora 20 and see if they've fixed some of this. The Live <br>DVD just put multicolored snow on the screen. So I tried a Yum update and it neglected to <br>bring in the keys. And then though I'd get the Fedora ice cream cone I'd get no login screen<br>and no terminal. After I learned to append a "3" to the vmlinuz line in the grub script I got <br>my terminal and yum seemed to be chugging along but after I tried to update grub I only get <br>grub rescue. Using that I identified the location of the carcasses of my long-defunct Fedora <br>10 and Fedora 11 installations and found my Fedora 19 and 20 installations, but at this point <br>I need some hand-holding because I am very near but still so far away.<br><br>                                            </div></body>
