Internet connection in F10 via bluetooth-connected WM6 phone?
by mike cloaked
I wonder if anyone is able to point me to information on how to use a laptop
running F10, that is away from usual wired or wifi connections, but where a
cellphone is available running WM6 that does have an internet connection
through the phone's isp, and is bluetooth capable?
I presume that bluetooth pairing is the first step - and then somehow the
phone's internet access should be connected to the laptop - possibly
NetworkManager can handle this?
I have never tried this but I would like to know the steps needed to get
this to work - as I am trying to help someone who has a need to be away from
usual internet access where the phone can run its own browser, and the
laptop could in principle communicate with it. Using the laptop would be a
lot more user friendly than using the phone - and of course the laptop is
running F10 with the Gnome desktop fully up to date.
Any pointers gratefully received.

PulseAudio doesn't start
by Chris Bredesen
Hi List,
About 1/3 of the time I boot my F10 laptop, PA doesn't start. I open
paman and find it isn't connected and I cannot connect. Besides the
gazillion wakeup watermark messages, here's what's in the log:
Jan 28 08:26:57 interlagos pulseaudio[4080]: pid.c: Stale PID file,
overwriting.
Jan 28 21:42:18 interlagos pulseaudio[4080]: module-alsa-sink.c: Error
opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy
Jan 28 21:42:18 interlagos pulseaudio[4080]: sink-input.c: Assertion
'i->thread_info.rewrite_nbytes == 0' failed at
pulsecore/sink-input.c:1150, function pa_sink_input_request_rewind().
Aborting.
The module-alsa-sink error is me trying to connect with the manager
AFIAK. The first message at 08:26 was when I booted the box. I
rebooted just now and all's well (still got the stale PID message though).
The only thing I can find that looks remotely related is this BZ which
was closed ages ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405351
Any clues? The knock on effect of PA not starting is that Pidgin hangs
hard when it tries to make noise. Other colleagues of mine report this
symptom as well...

by JD
I would like to download kde4 source rpms for fedora,
including kdelibs. I have scoured the web, but all I
am coming across are discussions that mention it.
Thanx for any info.

Re: errors trying kde 4.2 from kde-redhat repository
by Gianluca Cecchi
Thanks Rex.
In the mean time a workaround to get the result needed was at my side:
1) yum remove phonon-backend-xine
2) yum groupupdate kde-desktop
keeping track of delta between packages removed in 1) and not
installed in 2) I get:
package k9copy is not installed
package kdeedu-kstars is not installed
package kdeedu is not installed
package kdeedu-math is not installed
package kdeedu-libs is not installed
yum install k9copy kdeedu-kstars kdeedu kdeedu-math kdeedu-libs
ok!
I'm going to test this finally release 4.2.

Hello all (and probably Rex in particular ;-)
trying to install kde 4.2 from http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/

Any simple action to get the update done?
Thanks,

Strange Mouse behaviior
by Aaron Konstam
I wonder is anyone else had the same experience as I had with a new
Microsoft USB mouse.
I have a laptop that double boots to Win XP and F9. I bought a new
Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000. Everything was fine until I decided to use
the CD provided to install all the special effects in the XP
environment.
Now in F9 the mouse does not consistantly allow me to copy lines of text
by choosing the text with the left mouse and copying the text using the
middle button. Instead of copying a good part of the time I get nothing
happening when I press the middle button or I get a menu I have never
seen before. A strange menu appears at other times ,for example, when I
am clicking on an icon to get a program to run (such as Firefox).
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

So I went to http://yum.baseurl.org/report but that seems to be a developers

Does anyone have any idea what to do next?
