We got replacement battery "kits" for some of our APC UPS' (Smart-UPS, rackmount). I put them into one tray (it's for an RBC 43, which takes 8, and weighs a ton), and put it in, and let it charge. Idiot "change battery" led stays on. So I hit the test button, it discharges very rapidly (a good number of servers on this), and the led stays on. For some reason,

I have had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 installed on my CentOS 4.2 desktop and it worked fine. After upgrading to 4.3, I can't get it to come up anymore. I downloaded Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and it does the same. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to look for, since the executable and the startup scripts are not giving me any useful errors to chase. -- Ron Loftin

hi i've recently installed centos 5.3 on the machine. the installation went fine, but after that (on the first boot) it says a lot of segmentation fault errors fe. # yum Segmentation fault i've tried centos 5.2 and 5.0 also, but none of them works. but the centos 4.x works fine. could anyone tell me where the problem is? thanx a lot fous

I successfully created an install media on a USB flash drive, but now I have a minor problem installing from it. Whenever I run the installer, it insists on installing grub on /dev/sdb (the flash drive) rather than /dev/sda (the hard drive where I'm installing everything). Is there a way to convince the installer to put grub in the right place? Should I just tell it not to install grub and

It appears that if I do anything to grub.conf, say, take out the rhgb quiet, after every succeding kernel update, I have to manually edit grub.conf, because the kernel update - maybe the post install script? - will set the default to be the previous kernel. Has anyone got a solution to this, so that a kernel update will give the new kernel as the default? mark

Anyone working with/using it? One thing that's driving me nuts is that it keeps spitting garbage into the logs (card absent or mute!!!). I just tried editing /etc/init.d/pcscd - there's *no* way to pass parms from the config file - and set the logging level to --error, and it's still doing it. Clues for the poor, to shut it up? mark

I have some customer machines that have not been updated for some time, and are still on CentOS 5.2. While reading the release notes for 5.4, I have not yet seen anything that looks like it needs attention, but are there any known issues or "gotchas" related to moving directly from 5.2 to 5.4? Comments, pointers, things to look for are all welcome. Thanks muchly. -- Ron Loftin

First off, I'm glad that 5.4 is now available, and a big "Thank you" to the development team for all of their hard work. I have noticed that the docs for 5.4 appear to be accessible on the CentOS Web site, but some of them seem to have some issues. In the "Technical Notes", everything after the first page of Chapter 1 gives a 404 error. I've tried to send in a report

This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page

I am trying to mirror a directory using wget and the resulting files as expected are taking the name of the string in the url after the last "/". Anyone know a way around this? I am using the mirror option so I don't have to keep track of what to get making it simple. Thanks! jlc

Hi, I would like to have a software protection for my hardisk. I have some query regarding that (1) In Centos, is it possible to do a hardisk protection. Ex : Even if the hardisk is taken from a PC and used on another PC, it should not be executable. (2) Also if the entire binary of the source is mounted on a partition say /tmp, is it possible to make that mount point as protected,

Hi We use CentOS and RHEL, the 5.5 RHEL ISO for x86_64 is 3.7GB (**), the CentOS one is 4602MB (***) split over two DVDs. Is this reasonable and correct? Any ideas why would there be such a discrepancy if they are built from the same (or very similar) source? Regards Anthony Caetano ** the md5sum checks out, and RHN lists the size as 3,532 MB *** CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso +

Noted that xterm by default uses 24 lines per window. I have reviewed /etc/termcap looking for a specific entry for xterm that I can edit to change the ln#24 to ln#25 for our application. When I used RedHat there was an editable option to change the number of displayable lines as is done in putty. Any suggestions? --Hal. -- Hal Davison Observe Goal, Set the course, Burn the map

Convey uses a highly modified CentOS kernel to work with our attach coprocessor. Currently to setup a system for delivery we do a cold install using a "stock" CentOS cold install using kickstart. During that cold install we lay down our modified kernel and reboot the system with that kernel. After the reboot we are able to access the coprocessor management processor and down

This occasionally happens to me when I've been editing an OOo document that resides on a flash drive I use with one of my laptops. I've tried poking around in ps to find out which process has the drive locked, and I can't figure it out. Nothing directly refers to the flash drive except one of the hald processes, and it's just scanning the drive (I tried killing that and it made

I have here a box which I dual-boot between CentOS 5.4 and an older version of that "other OS" that I'm using to check out the ELrepo version of kmod-ntfs. After installing as per the directions on the ELrepo site, I can mount an NTFS filesystem, and when I type "mount" with no options the output tells me that the target filesystem is mounted read-write. However, when I

Our office has had a Brother MFC-8510DN for at least five years - no issues. As has been said below, you do have to download and install the driver but the process hasn't been problematic. Having said that, I haven't pushed the limit on it's capabilities, just done rather plain printing. ________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces at centos.org> on behalf of

We currently have a Brother MFC-5490CN. Printer firmware is dated June 1010. (yeah, 10 years old). Few years ago the brother software wouldn't work for printing under Fedora. No problem, can print under Windows 10. Then it stopped scanning. Could still print...under Windows. Now, to fix the scanning features working I installed updated drivers under Windows, now it scans like champ, but
