Screensaver flashing instead of normal function
I rebooted my machine this morning and now instead of running normally, my
GLMatrix screen saver flashes as it repaints the screen, more and more
noticeably as the screen fills up with glyphs. I didn't change ANYTHING and
this was not happening before the boot.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Thanks.

Missing samba binaries
I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla
install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing. As you
may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba. For some reason, the
winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports:
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11
as present. So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/ Do

CentOS 5 dual head doesn't work
I just bit the bullet and installed CentOS 5 on my work desktop, and
although I have two monitors and a card that supports them, I cannot
get the display configuration to work with both as a continuous
(spanning) desktop. I have tried using the correct (autodetected)
monitor type (digital and analog), a generic LCD with 1280x1024,
nothing works. Every time I set the configuration, the X server

Stumped: kernel 2.6.18-8 source doesn't build???
I installed the kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm today and went to build
it, but it fails with this error:
$ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:
unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64
I double checked and this appears to be the latest kernel source rpm
on centos/5.0/os/SRPMS.

x display issue
Hello,
I've got a new Centos5 install and got x installed with gnome on it. The
problem is the display looks awful and keeps flickering. It failed the
monitor probe and doesn't have horizontal and vertical refresh rates in the
xorg.conf file. I believe this is part or all of the issue, i took it down
to 8-bitt color and 800x600 resolution, that didn't help. The video card is

How to install the devsys after the fact
I'm running with CentOS 4.3 and the system was setup originaly with no
development system and no kernel sources. I'm trying to get the headers and
libraries installed and it is giving me fits. I've followed the suggestions
on several threads and tried to yum install gcc, kernel-headers,
kernel-devel but I seem to not be able to get /usr/include or

Good things about CentOS 5; problem with flash in seamonkey
I'd like to point out that overall I am quite pleased with CentOS 5,
although I am having more fun with it than I did with 4.4 and I knew
less about CentOS then (duh).
Most things seem to work fine, including a relatively smooth
installation from the DVD image I downloaded, although the number of
screensavers I can see (and this could be related to the ATI/dual head
problem) is pathetically

Problems with Samba between Linux host and VMWare Windows guest
I've asked this almost everywhere else, so obviously I only find out about
this list now (my doing, too).
I am running VMWare Workstation on top of host CentOS 4.4 Plus on a Dell
Precision 390 with 2G of main memory. Under VMWare, I am running a Windows
XP guest OS. I have a similar setup at home except that the hardware is a
little different but the memory and the setup are the same, and

Looking for a good disk exerciser
I recently added a Seagate 400Gb SATA drive to my system, and it has been
behaving strangely since I put it in. for one thing, the BIOS S.M.A.R.T.
came up with a warning the last time I booted with it enabled, saying that I
should backup my data and replace the disk (!).
I still have not made any irreversible data transfers to this drive, and I
have some time yet to take it back, but I'd

CentOS 5 - Issues with multimedia
Hi,
I am having some issues with CentOS 5.
-XMMS stops playing MP3s without apparent reason. I leave it playing
some album and it will just stop whenever it feels like it. It will go
into "pause" and just stay there. Pressing on the pause button to
resume does nothing at all. I thought it could be some newly encoded
songs, but it does the same for a song that I have played 100% times.

Oddity with kernel built under CentOS 5.0
Yesterday I found a need to have the NTFS module support in my CentOS
5.0 at home, so I happily installed the 8.1.4 source, prepped it
(after deleting the rhel and olpc lines per Johnny's notice earlier in
this list), made the config with a ".nx" version name using make
menuconfig (copying the config from the SOURCES directory, editing it
to include the # x86_64 line and copying it

Samba config for Windows on VMWare
I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure
at least one of y'all can handle this one.
I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing
with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've
done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a
legitimate network destination.
Here's my samba

Trouble connecting to CentOS 5.0 host sound device from Windows guest on VMWare Workstation 5.5.4
I am running VMWare Workstation 5.5.4 on a CentOS 5.0 host
(2.6.18-8.1.4 kernel) and I have been haiving some trouble with my
sound device on the Guest Windows XP SP2 OS. When I first had trouble
under CentOS 4.4, WS 5.5.3, it was usually when the sound device on
the host was actually busy. However, now I can't use the sound device
at all - I keep getting this error: "Failed to open sound

Open Office on CentOS
I notice that the OO that comes with CentOS 4.4 is version 1.1.5, which
is fairly ancient. Are there any plans to update this for OO 2.2, or
2.1, or 2.0? Or is this a RH thing exclusively? In which case is
CentOS Plus likely to get a more recent version?
OO 2.0 is way better....

Changing from NTFS to ext3
I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I'm no longer
running Windows, at least on my main machine at home. I'm planning to
tar the NTFS partitions to an existing ext3, reformat the partition as
ext3 and untar it back.
What is the best way to accomplish step two of this - reformatting the
partition? I've only done this so far during the installation phase,

How to stop automount
I just put a USB hard drive into service, but find that unless the drive
is connected to my PC the machine won't boot and drops to a shell.
Below is the line I added to fstab. I thought that the option "noauto"
would prevent the machine from trying to mount the drive

What am I doing wrong? Any advice is
