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've been trying, unsuccessfully, to log in on the KDE forums on the KDE web site. Unfortunately, despite having registered, my account is not "activated", and I can't post threads. I am also not able to email the forum administrator, as one ironically has to be an activated member to do so. I've also noticed that trying to search their forums results in a MySQL error.

[quote]"microcode device doesn't exist?"[/quote] Try grepping for 'microcode' in /var/log/messages, try dmesg | grep microcode, either or both may give you the exact text. chkconfig --list | grep microcode may also give you a hit, if yes, the problem is easy to cure: turn off the service (man chkconfig). If these don't give hits, then it's time to build a kernel for

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,

I'm trying to install themes for KDE. In doing so, I came across the following web site which seems to have the themes I want as RPMs: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/17/dept/3/idg/User+Interface_Desktop The theme I want is called "Thinkeramik", and it has the following versions, for various Red Hat builds: thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.el3.kde.i386.rpm RedHat EL 3

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,

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 installed CentOS, I was careful to install Japanese language support. However, now that CentOS is running, I can't seem to get Japanese language input going. I clicked on the top menu bar to add the "Input Method Switcher", and now there is a little white square on the top panel. If I click on it, gives me the option of using ASCII input, or to "Add or Remove".

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

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.

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

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,

I've been hunting this down on the internet, but haven't had any success, so I'm going to ask here. Does anyone on this list know anything about giFTui? I've tried running it, but get this error: giftui: error while loading shared libraries: liblinc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I can not determine how to get this shared library on my system.

I have been all up and down my Firefox options, and all up and down whatever sound card configurations I could find in Gnome. And I just can't get sound to work. Whether it's a Flash animation, a Quicktime movie, or anything, they all run, but no sound. All other applications that run sound, like Xine or XMMS, work fine (although mysteriously XMMS every now and again loses it's

Well, I spoke to soon. After installing gstreamer-ffmpeg, and creating an .asoundrc file, I thought everything was perfect. All my music applications were handling MP3s, FireFox was playing sounds, everything was sweet. And so I played some music in Rhythmbox. That lasted about four or five songs, and then suddenly, the sound cut out. And at the same time, my keyboard became unresponsive. I
