similar to: Minor 4.4 upgrade oddity

Got home from vacation last night and ran yum update. Among other things installed was mplayerplug-in-3.25-1.el4.rf ... now any time I attempt to view CNN video, my sound device locks up -- I eventually end up having to kill firefox, and anything thereafter that attempts to access sound (such as system-config-soundcard) also ends up wedged. Previously this only happened sporadically and after

Hi!

The following paragraph from ?pdf struck me as a bit odd: 'pdf' writes uncompressed PDF. It is primarily intended for producing PDF graphics for inclusion in other documents, and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually able to handle compression. Should that be "...and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually _un_able to handle

In the vein of the "Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024" and "Another CentOS 5 oddity..." threads, I just installed CentOS5 w/Xen kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop with an nVidia NV5M64 (RIVA TNT2 64 Pro) card, using an old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor. system-config-display chose the highest possible resolution for the monitor and Xorg did its best to drive it, but

I want to send a subset of directories sepcified in "include" arguments to a client, but I am creating all the peer and parent directories as well, although they are empty - here is basically what I'm doing. assuming I have /staging/upgrade/dir1, /staging/upgrade/dir2 and /staging/upgrade/dir3 on the source tree. --include "*/" -include upgrade/dir1/** -include

Dear list, I used to have this code in a Sweave document: sel <- placeDF$Place == "Velar" & placeDF$manner == "Plosive" table(placeDF$agem[sel], placeDF$place[sel]) -> pd print( dotplot( prop.table(pd,margin=1), auto.key=list( space="right" ), xlab="Relative Frequency",

Hello, We are currently running SAMBA 2.07 on our AIX 4.3.3 UNIX systems.

Good day, all, I'm trying to transfer a 174M file to a system with 1.2G free. Other files in the tree come over just fine, but this transfer dies partway through: rsync -avvz -e ssh --partial --progress server.with.the.file:/server/directory /local/directory opening connection using ssh server.with.the.file rsync --server --sender -vvlogDtprz --partial . /local/directory receiving file

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta

Dear All, I have a centos 5 server running my mail and Dns working fine but when i try to do u yum ugrade or yum update it gives me lots of perl errors and it terminates OS is centos 5 (final) the part of errors reported --------------------------------- file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Math/BigFloat.pm from install of perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1 conflicts with file from package perl-Math-BigInt-1.86-1

I'd been putting off installing the FX3 packages because of some extensions I use that don't have upgrades. [*] However, when FX1.5 crashed on me today I decided to finally go ahead. Fired up yum and I'm told I have to install a slew of evolution28 library packages in order to install the firefox package. Why? I removed evolution from my system for a reason, and I'd just as

Apologies if I should ask this elsewhere, google search is not helping. I've got a CentOS5 server with lighttpd installed from EPEL, configured for https only (no connections on ports other than 443). I have the latest security updates for openssl, etc. However, when connecting to the server with recent Chrome from Windows or Android, I get the "Your connection is not private"

We have a large MySQL database currently running on a CentOS 3.x server with an external SCSI RAID device. This is currently an ext2 filesystem because it was migrated once previously from an even older RedHat system. We need to add storage capacity to this database and prepare for additional future growth. One of the options under consideration is to move to CentOS 5 and use LVM. Of some

I got file conflicts between the sysreport and sos packages on the file /usr/sbin/sysreport. I unchecked sysreport in the package updater UI and the rest of the update is proceedng.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble ... when a kernel security update notice is posted to the announcements list, would it be possible to indicate whether the centosplus kernel is also susceptible to the security issue being patched? I'm running the plus kernel now, and find myself wondering whether I will ever need to back off to the base kernel because of security issues. Or is it

I just tried this with CentOS 5.3 as well, and got exactly the same symptoms and dmesg output. (As a point of comparison, Ubunu 8.04 on my work laptop is able to access the drive.) Obviously "not detected" is a misapprehension, though I'm puzzled why "lsusb" doesn't show it. The device is there even though the partition table can't be read. ---------- Forwarded

Sparc Solaris / UFS file system. I have some ACL's set up for a handful of users and its all worked flawlessly with every incarnation of Samba I've used over the past couple years, which would be most. Last Friday evening I upgraded from 3.0.11 to 3.0.13 and some of the users I have some ACL's set up for promptly found Monday that they couldn't save new Excel files, they'd be

I've found an old IBM OmniBook 800 and am curious whether I can get it going again. (Currently it boots either Windows 95 or some then-contemporary version of Slackware.) The CDROM is external (SCSI, I think) and the machine won't boot from it, so it'd require a boot floppy. Any suggestions? Or is CentOS entirely the wrong Linux to be thinking about for this?

As I mentioned on a thread about flash-plugin a few days ago, I'm having trouble with my sound device getting "stuck" and thereby causing problems for anything that accesses it, like video playback. Rebooting the machine "fixes" it for a while, but it's unpredictable for how long -- sometimes months go by without it recurring, sometimes it happens every couple of days.
