F12: weird dependenciy between xpaint and emacs

On my F12 box, both emacs and xpaint are installed.
When trying to uninstall emacs, I get:
sudo yum erase emacs
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

But after having uninstalled emacs by "rpm -e emacs --nodeps", xpaint

Sound was working for me when I did a fresh installation of F12. But
after some updates, it broke. Could anyone guide me in restoring sound
in my F12.

Nehalem network performance
by Kelvin Ku
We recently purchased our first Nehalem-based system with a single Xeon E5530
CPU. We were unable to boot FC6 on it and are trying to upgrade our network to
F11/F12 anyway, so we installed F11 on it.
Our existing hardware includes Xeon 5100- and 5400-series CPUs running mainly
FC6 (2.6.22), except for a single Xeon 5150 system running F11. Our target
application consumes multicast data during business hours and has been dropping
packets more frequently on the new hardware/OS combination than on our older
systems. I've tried using the on-board Intel 82574L dual-port NIC (e1000e
driver) and a discrete Intel 82576 dual-port NIC (igb driver). Counters for the
NIC, socket layer, and switch don't show any dropped packets.
My question is this: has anyone experienced performance degradation running a
UDP-consuming application after moving to a Nehalem-based system? We have yet
to identify whether the culprit is the hardware, the OS, or the combination of
the two. However, note that our app works fine on the 5150 system running F11
that I mentioned above.
Likewise, if you've migrated such an app to a Nehalem system and had to make
adjustments to get it to work as before, I'd like to hear from you too.
Thanks,
Kelvin Ku

Dhcp client issue
by Philip Prindeville
Hi.
I'm running FC12, updated on x86_64 hardware.
My dhcp server is expecting my client (the FC12 box) to send a request with:
option dhcp-client-identifier 01:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC address, and 01 is the type-code for
Ethernet.
Unfortunately, by default Fedora omits this option in the request.
Is there an easy way to do this? Like:
interface "eth0" {
send dhcp-client-identifier hardware;
}
for instance?
Thanks,
-Philip

Bluetooth permissions
by Michael McConnell
Hi folks,
Is there a way to allow a script to run rfcomm to bind to a Bluetooth device
without having to make /usr/bin/rfcomm setuid-root or running the script as
root? And, ideally without prompting for a password too.
Background: I wrote a script ( www.eridani.co.uk/rfselect/rfselect.tcl ) that
sets up RFCOMM bindings to mobile phones and by doing so enables
NetworkManager's Mobile Broadband menus and allowing NetworkManager to look
after connecting to the internet over the mobile phone. (PANU-capable devices
show automatically upon pairing, but many phones don't support this.)

A question to rsync....
by DB
Good evening all,
The saga continues!
If I rsync from my desktop to my laptop, all appears to be well, but if
I use a script to copy files from desktop to external HDD, the owner &
group all get changed to 'root'. part of my script follows:
> D=`date +%Y_%m_%d`
> M=/media/Fed_Backups_plus/Fed_Backup/"$echoF11_$(hostname)_$D"/home/Dave
>
> rsync -CavzpA --exclude Junk --exclude Trash --exclude *.log
> .thunderbird $M
> rsync -CavzpA --exclude *~ --exclude *.log WGR* $M
> rsync -CavzpA --exclude *.log .kde $M
As I understand the man pages on rsync, the -a option should do an
archive transfer, preserving ownership & permissions (and effectively
include the -p & -A options -- I added them after the first trial gave
me the root owner & group). Anyone any idea why rsync is changing the
owner????
Also, kwalletmanagerrc throws an "error" each time I try the copy:
> rsync: send_files failed to open
> "/home/Dave/.kde/share/config/kwalletmanagerrc": Permission denied (13)
a) several times on startup I get the message "kwalletmanagerrc cannot
be written to, contact the administrator" Looking at permissions, only
the owner (root) can read & write it,
b) if I'm trying to make a backup "in case of emergency", do I need to
backup this file?
c) if yes, how can I make my script "become root" just for this file?
As ever, thanks for any help & guidance,
Dave

Howto lock in Resolution in Xorg.conf
by Jim
FC12-x86_64/KDE
How can I lock in the 1024x768 resolution in xorg.conf ?
The Option PreferredMode is Ignored , checking in Xorg-0-log.
If I put in Modes "1024x768" it gets changed everytime I reboot.
I'm using the Nvidia driver.
Can't use the nouveau driver, the mouse disappears when waking the
computer up
after about a half hour of sleep, then I have to restart computer to get
mouse to reappear.

Re: RFC about socket/cores numbers and HT info

Gianluca,
There is a Red Hat Knowledgebase article titled "How do I determine if my x86-compatible Intel system is multi-processor, multi-core or supports hyperthreading?" that I think you will find useful. It states:
To determine whether a system is multi-processor, multi-core, has
hyperthreading or supports a combination of the three, look at the
physical id, siblings, core id and cpu cores values in /proc/cpuinfo
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 while
running a non-Xen kernel.
It provides several examples that you could use to write and test your script.
Here's the link: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-7715
