After installing xfce I switched to runlevel 5 to have a graphic login. But The login box (and xfce) doesnt let me switch to text consoles with ctrl+alt+F key. Also, xfce is the desktop for root, but for normal user still is an ugly windows manager. -- Roger D.

A friend sent me an ipod to office to transfer music to it. It had a firewire cable and I have an Audigy soundcard with a firewire port. But when I connected the ipod to the firewire port, I got a lot of weird numbers and interrupt errors and the system crashed badly.

Im developing an online game. After upgrading from Fedora to Centos 4.2 I noticed I no longer can connect to the server when the client is running outside the Centos PC. Making an udp scan from my internal network with nmap revealed that the port used by game server application appears as "filtered". In my firewall script I have a rule to allow all trafic in the internal interface,

Hi there. Although RHEL 3 is available for several different architectures, CentOS appears to only be available for the i386 architecture. Are alternative architecture rebuilds outside the scope of the CentOS project, or is there some other specific reason for that? If one wanted to rebuild CentOS for, let's say the AMD64 architecture, would that be a difficult process, or is it just

(reposting 'cause I sent the last one from a non-subscribed address) Hi there. I tried "yum update"ing my x86_64 CentOS-3 box today, but the packages won't install and yum claims I don't have an appropriate signing key. I've been happily doing updates all along (last time was Oct. 12) with no trouble. The key ID used to sign the x86_64 packages is 219180cddb42a60e

I'm looking for the highest performance 2d/3d video card that is supported out of the box by Centos 4.2 with open source drivers. I would need for both 2d and 3d to work. No tv tuner, tv in, tv out etc. is needed. I think my best candidate would be a 9800 series radeon. Any comments? Thanks, Steve

I had to reainstall my server and couldnt avoid upgrading samba. Before reinstalling, I had samba configured to let users browse their home folders from Windows PCs using their Unix system user/pass. Now, it is not possible, I have just managed to implement the same authentication system as before and give access to a public folder. The home folders remains invisible, if I set browseable = yes,

Hello. I am looking for the famous XF86Setup command used on RedHat 7.1 (for XFree86) but I didn't find it on CentOS 3.1. Did it change into something else ? Else how can I configure my monitor, mouse, video card settings ? Same questions for starting the hardware material configurator. How can I force it to run ? I know that it runs automatically at boot when we change a card or device, but

I have one last RH 7.3 system that I want to convert to CentOS 4, but I can''t find the ncpfs utilities that I used to use to mount Netware shares. Has support been removed from the 3.x and 4? Regards, Paul Berger

Two things have been weighing on my mind regarding security issues. The first is that when I downloaded the CentOS 4.1 ISO images, I could not get the sums to match even using different downloads from different mirrors. I decided that that I was doing something wrong and decided to trust the images. So far no regrets. But I am concerned that I get it right the next time. I thought I had read

Hey, I am using CentOS-3 as a desktop distribution. With the exception of fewer red hats and some different logos, it looks exactly like RedHat 9 to me. The problem is some web sites do not work right, as there is no Shockwave Flash player and Java support seems to be a problem. For some web sites, I have to used Windows. I prefer not to download and install something that YUM could not

System = CentOS / Apache 2.0 / HTML files location = /var/www/html Nat'd IP - ports 80, 20, 21 already opened & routed to internal ip. I desperately need the quick & dirty solution. I need a setup where one user can ftp from another desktop (windows) to upload new website files. I currently have CuteFTP, but will use anything needed at this point. I need to try to test this today.
