The latest updates to CentOS 5.5 seem to have broken the Java plugin, and have defeated any and all attempts to get it working again. I'm running CentOS 5.5 (32-bit) and Firefox 3.6.9 (installed from the CentOS repository); I've tried BOTH the openJDK plugin available through the Argeo repositories, and installing Java 1.6.0 directly from Sun/Oracle and creating the plugin soft link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Neither works at all. This was working a while ago, but it broke and I didn't notice. Thanks for any help you can provide, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner at lco.cl...

Does there exist *anywhere* a Java web browser plugin for 64-bit FireFox? The SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK (jdk-6u18-linux-amd64.rpm) does NOT include the Java web browser plugin library. java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm does not have one either. Should I install the *32-bit* SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK and use the 32-64 bit wrapper? I've searched the web and read the wiki

Hi, When browsing the (excellent) deployment guide I found the following broken links: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-basic-firewall-securitylevel-enable.html ('Next' link from http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-basic-firewall-securitylevel.html) http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-iptables-options-commands.html

Hello, are there any best practices for the length of user names? I tend to limit them to 8 characters and to follow the pattern 'first letter of the first name'+'first 7 letters of the last name' (e.g. mbaudier). But people are sometimes frustrated with having their last name truncated and I wonder if limiting the user name to 8 characters is not a kind of superstition coming

> Then I hope to finish my tutorial on installing Eclipse > Helios for Centos 5.5 Is there anything special to be done? I just unzipped the SR1 distribution for RCP/RAP developers linux-gtk-x86_64 and it works without problem on an up to date CentOS 5.5 x86_64. (to be more precise: I install it as root under /opt, install some plugins like subclipse and regular users start it from there)

Hello, I'm currently setting up a virtualization infrastructure based on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and KVM. I want to use LVM because of its flexibility, especially the ability to add more disk space to a guest if needed. We are considering using an hardware RAID1 with BBU as the lowest layer. My question is: where is it recommended to put the LVM? 1. On the host only In that case, the guests

Hello, I'm considering buying a second-hand Thinkpad T60 (with 2 GB RAM), as a secondary laptop in order to run CentOS 5 on the field. My main focus is therefore to have something robust, reliable and above all well compatible with CentOS. Hibernate / suspend feature are important to me, because that's the main issue I have with CentOS on other laptops. I have found the following

Hello, since I upgraded from CentOS x86_64 5.4 to 5.5, I noticed that Firefox has become significantly slower on GMail (or Google Apps Mail). The page becomes slow to scroll as soon as there are more than a few mails in a conversation (like in a typical CentOS mailing list thread). Did anyone else notice that as well? (I guess that I'm not the only GMail user around) Could I have missed

Hello, I'm currently travelling (in south-eastern Europe) with a netbook (Samsung NC 10) running CentOS 5.4 i386. I frequently try to access internet from bars or hotels (mostly via wireless). Although it works pretty often, it happens quite regularly that in some hotels I cannot access internet from CentOS while it is possible from Windows. This is the case in the hotel where I am currently

Hello, I was not happy with the power consumption of CentOS 6 x86_64 on a new Lenovo Thinkpad x220 Tablet and I worked on reducing it. I just wanted to share with the list one of the changes which gave me the most significant improvement.

Hi, in order to test a future deployment of our apps on Solaris, I tried to virtualize Solaris 10 (update 7) in KVM. It installed fine but afterward it keep rebooting: reboot -> GRUB -> reboot -> GRUB etc. I know that Solaris is not officially supported by CentOS/KVM in CentOS 5.4:

Hi, I have a virtualized infrastructure based on KVM/QEMU with CentOS 5.5 x86_64 hosts and guests, using bridge networking. I want to set up IP based VirtualHosts in Apache (because they will use SSL) and I have ordered an IP block. Now, in order to have the IPs available on some guests, I'm wondering whether I should: 1 - add additional virtual interfaces or 2 - set up IP aliases (eth0:1,

Hello, Amazon has just released a custom Linux distribution (Amazon Linux AMI) for use in their EC2 cloud: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_the_Amazon_Linux_AMI Out of curiosity, I googled a bit around it and read in various places (e.g. [1] and [2]) that it is based on CentOS 5 (basically a stripped down version) and should be compatible with most packages. Do any of you have

Hello, I have a Kyocera FS1920 network printer, and I run an up-to-date CentOS 5.6 x86_64 workstation. When I try to print with evince or Firefox the default paper size is always set to US Letter whereas the printer use A4. I have searched and other people seem to have the problem, but the only recommendations that I have found boil down to setting the default paper size to A4 in the CUPS

Hello, I need to do some analog video capture and I was wondering what is the status of this in CentOS 6. The last information I could find was here (obviously for CentOS 5): http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-September/082521.html Could anybody recommend a not-too-expensive video capture cards (PCI, USB, fireWire, ...) which would be well supported (drivers easily available in base,
