I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why.

Okay, I tried installing OpenOffice beta, and I think I messed it up, so I wanted to uninstall it. I thought wilcards worked, so I tried: [root at localhost program]# rpm -e openoffice* error: package openoffice* is not installed Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to remove a bunch of RPM packages at once, so I did this: [root at localhost program]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice And

I'm trying out different music players. One that looks promising is called Quod Libet: http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet I downloaded the tar file and attempted to install it. I got this message: [dave at localhost quodlibet-0.13.1]$ ./quodlibet.py E: You need GTK+ 2.6 and PyGTK 2.6 or greater. E: You have GTK+ 2.4.13 and PyGTK 2.4.0. E: Please upgrade GTK+/PyGTK. I tried a YUM update,

This is one of those questions that seems to be soo obvious to people that no one feels the need to have an explanation anywhere. I've been looking around the net for ages, and I can't figure out what, on Linux, is actually a program. I've downloaded OpenOffice 1.9 Beta, and would like to run it. I go to the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122/program/ directory and... then what? What do

I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. I'm following the instructions on this page: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php This is the line I put into /etc/fstab /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0 And this is the error I get: [root at localhost mnt]# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on

I have a computer that dual boots between Windows and CentOS. Each has it's own hard drive. I suddenly have a problem with Windows, and may need to reinstall. I need it for applications like After Effects, Premiere, and other things that I am currently in the middle of a project with. It seems the system has become usnstable, it's preventing me from continuing to work, and I

...g the continuous distribution function for a power law? The help page only shows how to use it with the built in 'pgamma' function is there an analogous function for power law distributions - I couldn't find one. Thanks for any help in steering me in the right direction.

PHP and MySQL seem to working on my CentOS installation. I'd like to install phpMyAdmin as well, so I downloaded the necessary files from phpMyAdmin's homepage and copied them to /var/www/html... ... except that's where the process stopped. My regular user account doesn't have permission to write into the /var/www/html folder. Should I just chmod the folder to 777? Is there a

Following advice on how to ensure that PHP and MySQL are on my machine and working correctly, I ran the following YUM command, with the subsequent error: [root at localhost ~]# yum install php php-mysql httpd mysqlclient10 mysql- server Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route

I've created a symlink inside my /var/www/html/ folder called "web", which is points to a my /home/dave/web directory. Inside that directory, I created a folder for my web site called "website". I thought I should be able to access that web site through FireFox by going to either: httpd://localhost/web/website ... or: http://localhost/web/website ... but I just get

When I was installing CentOS, I noticed among the list of components that PHP and MySQL were available. I made sure they were selected because I develop a lot of web sites in PHP/MySQL, but I always do my testing on the server side. I thought it would be kind of cool if I could do the testing and development on my home machine. Which is a long way of saying that I think I have PHP/MySQL on my

Last time I asked for some recommendations on this list, I was told about some great software that I hadn't been able to find myself, so I'd like to ask again. I've been having a hard time finding software that satisfies in the following 2 areas: 1. MP3 player and play list manager. Something that can ideally generate smart playlists based on MP3 tags. (I've tried XMMS, Amarok,

This should be simple, but I can't find it on the web: How do I make KDE my default environment? Every time I reboot it goes back to Gnome unless I specifically change the environment before logging in. And while I'm at it, why is it I never find any information about CentOS on the net? I look up "CentOS KDE default" or something like that, and I get more about

I feel like Im chasing my own tail round and round in trying to install dvd::rip. Installing the RPM just gets me lost in a world of dependancies. I tried installing manually and all I get is the following: [dave at localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/dvdrip Can't locate Locale/TextDomain.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi... ... and it goes on and on.

This was a problem I had a while back. I lost the "Preferences" menu item in my "Applications" menu in Gnome. After much discussion, the following commands got my "Preferences" menu item back, along with all the applications inside of it: rpm -e redhat-artwork redhat-menus --nodeps --allmatches yum install redhat-artwork redhat-menus But... For some reason it

Okay, I have over 9 gigs of spare room on my main hard drive, so I don't think var is filling up. I've set prelinking to be off (I think), and yet still, YUM continues to freeze my computer. If I try to do a search or install, about half the time it will go nuts on the hard drive, I lose control of the mouse, and eventually I have no choice but to hard reset. What's wrong with

I've tried to create a Linux swap file, but when I run fdisk, it looks like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdb5 3645 3737 746991 82 Linux swap Why is this W95 partition existing in the

I'd like to install "Gstreamer" so that I can get MP3 support in Rhythmbox. At least, I'm led to believe MP3 support comes with installing Gstreamer from Rhythmbox's FAQ. But when I get to the Gstreamer download page: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ ... it says: "Do not compile from source yourself unless you are certain you have to or want to" Okay,
