Internet connection in F10 via bluetooth-connected WM6 phone?
by mike cloaked 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

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. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Internet-connection-in-F10-via-bluetooth-connected-WM… Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

PulseAudio doesn't start
by Chris Bredesen 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

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... -Chris

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

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. Gianluca

Strange Mouse behaviior
by Aaron Konstam 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

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?
