I move my notebook around my office. Sometimes I am using the internal pointers, sometimes a USB mouse, and sometimes a USB keyboard/mouse adapter that is plugged into a kvm (actually two of them). With one of these USB k/m adapters, when I plug in, the system fails to recognize the mouse (but no problem with the keyboard). The 2 adapters are the same brand/model (Aten), but the KVMs are

I sometimes receive e-mails I post to this list, like I did the bug I reported about X problems, but other times not, like my first post about that before I reported the bug. That one appeared in gmane, but Evolution never picked it up. And today I've not seen either of my posts but I know it got there because I did see a reply to my post about the flash plugin and it had a snippet of my post

Well, there's so few going right now that I'm showing 38 days to get the DVD. My normal dnld from a mirror travels appx. 600Mb/sec. I'll wait until most of the U.S. goes home before I give up and use the normal download though. Here's hoping... -- Bill

I object to this sort of crap. Hidden, no reason for an *IX desktop to be forced to ignore or deal with this crap. Anybody else seeing it? In case attachments aren't allowed in the list, here's the Dropbox url for the image. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2p2ki7t2rwi5ot/FreeDeskTop_Org_Orwell_1984.png?dl=0 I believe this relates to an earlier thread in which someone questioned what that

I had the electricity go out the other day. When my Centos 4.3 workstation came up, I said yes when it got to the prompt "Unclean shutdown, force filesystem check?" prompt. It ground away for awhile and then said something about a bad superblock. Yikes! I thought, that's a bad sign. After a reboot, I got nothing but a grub> prompt. I tried booting into rescue mode using the

While burning in a new desktop Epox KT-880 workstation, I'm running on my old K6-III at 360MHz. Before new X updates (put everything in today, kernel, elfutils, ntpd - Selinux issues? - xorg, ...) with my PCI ATI 7000 (Radeon) on a 19" Samsung 950b @ 1024x768 (one of 5 different resolutions I commonly use), I could scroll smoothly at reasonable rates. With the new stuff I get severe

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if you have a "fat" pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers. I have a "chubby" pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly earlier today. If your torrent has distributed hash table capability, I suggest that you also use

I need to look more into it, but before I start the long and arduous "googling my life away" process, I figured someone might know the answer. I've read the man pages several times and they didn't change! :-( As normal, while looking at one thing, something else bites my butt. I tuned on the swap field in top and sort on it. Here's an edited snippet of the results. Mem:

I get the same symptom when trying to upgrade from the Adobe repo on Fedora 20.
