Bug 65640

What account are you looking for here?

I need freedesktop.org account to browse the pulseaudio documentation.

thanks,

I get this notification when i try to search any keyword on documentation

A username and password are being requested by https://secure.freedesktop.org. The site says: "wiki.freedesktop.org account needed"

You should be able to get at all the documentation without a user/pass at:

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/

Would be good to know exactly what link you tried to access for the documentation and how you go there, so we can make sure others don't hit the same problem.

In case i need to search for fragment_size on freedesktop. I think its a overkill but may be i want to read about fragment_size wherever it exists in the PA documentation. I think i need an account for it ( though not quite sure) . Is there another way i can do this ?

Currently the fd.o wiki search requires a wiki account. I don't know why, and I don't know if there are some plans for fixing it.

One solution is to use Google. If you use "site:http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/" as one search term, the search is limited to the PulseAudio wiki only.

thanks Tanu,

I do not think this works as expected but still give some hits. I tried something for period_size but just 1 hit.

Google does better than the wiki search. Search term "period_size" gives zero hits in the wiki search, and "fragment_size" gives only one hit: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/

:)  ok then i am good .

thanks,
