So I did a fresh install today. Decided to go ahead and upgrade. Everything seems okay save for three problems. #1 - I get a message during boot saying that an Intel microcode update didn't work. Something about not being able to find /proc/microcode. #2 - I can't use the Firefox extension HTML Parser. Anyone use this. #3 - Off and on GDM crashes and I get dropped into a prompt. Any

My wife does and here's the problem. It automatically mounts the flash memory of the player. But it doesn't mount the SD card slot. I used Ubuntu 5.10 recently and it mounted both of them. Both as separate USB sticks. How do I get CentOS to do the same thing? Or can it not discern that two USB flash devices are plugged in? Preston

I'm trying to use my copy and whenever I reboot I have to reconfigure everything again using vmware-config.pl. Any idea why I might have to do this? Is there something about the way services are setup under CentOS 4 or something? Preston

Does anyone here use a multi-button (as in more than 2) mouse with Linux? How well supported are they? I've had to get one recently for work. I was diagnosed with CTS and I now wear braces and use a wireless Intellimouse. Works great at work with Windows, but I'm unsure how much, if any support there is for Linux. Anyone have experience with this? Preston

I'm wondering because it seems to be slowing my machine down considerably under CentOS 5. Especially the daemon they include to monitor SELinux and the program that attaches to it. I tried opening this earlier and it just sat there spinning. I want the knowledge that my machine is secure and safe. But I'm wondering if the price is worth it. Is it necessary for my machine to be fairly

Trying to get my wife's emails out of a proprietary format and into mbox for use on our local box. Doing some major file munging. In a test email the following doesn't work.

Is this possible. I did my first one yesterday in order to get my iPod mini to work with the EL kernel. It worked well. Everything went smoothly, but I don't like what I named it. So I'd like to take one more shot at it. If I do, is there a way to remove the old one cleanly? Modules and everything. Also, if do recompile the kernel again, do I need fresh source, or can I just do a make

So I got a new Pocket PC this weekend (yes, you read that right, sorry, don't like the Palms on offer currently and I can at least install software on it via Windows on VMWare). One of the main things I wanted to do with it is get Audible.com again and listen to All Things Considered from NPR on the way home like I used to. Now I find out they not only don't have an agreement with Audible

So I've been trying to use this site and the daemon script here. http://www.linuxjava.net/howto/webapp/#tomcat It works so far. I mean, at least the server starts, I can get to the site, etc. So far, so good. The only problem is, for some reason when I start tomcat using root everything runs fine. When I start tomcat using this script, however, I get this.... FATAL [http-8080-Processor25]

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 know they have software that does this. I'm just not sure which one it is. Basically here's the scoop. I'm on a cable modem connection with Comcast. I have a firewall router and I run a firewall on CentOS as well. All the same, other computers (probably zombies or hackers) are attempting brute force attacks on a couple of ports on my computer. I've just sat and watched them for

I've found about a dozen different ways to skin this cat (no pun intended). Everything from creating a script in /etc/init.d/ to using jsvc. I was hoping someone out there, those of you out there who run Tomcat in this manner, how did *you* set this up? I can't seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or even direction to an authoritative document. Preston

I'm pleased to announce that Flash Operator Panel 0.26 has been released! FOP is a GPL'd switchboard type application for the Asterisk PBX. It runs on a web browser with the flash plugin. It is able to display information about your Asterisk box in real time. It is included in FreePBX, Asterisk@Home, DeStar, startShop, and several other projects both free and commercial.

Has anyone already worked out the files involved in changing from the rather pedestrian screensaver to some more pleasing eye candy like Fedora Core 5 uses? thnx/ldv

Some new eye candy... http://syslinux.zytor.com/screenshots.php -hpa

I've been using compiz on KDE for a while now and I like the eye candy. Thanks to all who made this possible. I'm usually a no-nonsense guy who doesn't care about eye candy (I'm not even using a background picture because I'm worried about the memory it'll use (on a machine with 2 GB of RAM) :) ) but compiz stormed (sic!) my defences. Now for my questions: 1. compiz is a

Dear all, I have written a function for calculating the volume of a tree (=trad) or snag (=h?gst). The included volume regreesion model includes ten parameter values, which are tree species specific. bj?rk.formh?jd.pars is an object which includes the parameter values (parameter set) for birch (=bj?rk). There is one row per tree in the data object. > relev.kols[1:5,

Dear all, I have a tree data matrix. For some trees I lack info about tree species, but I want to set them to be spruce. For some reason the tree species names on the remaining (non-NA) rows are changed into numbers (that I do not recognise). I guess that ifelse is not the correct function to use, but I have not found any better one in my searches. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Tord >

I know this may be a stupid place to ask, but I have to ask. I'm looking for a new Linux distro to use and support. I've been a loyal purchaser of SuSE Linux Pro for the last 3 years. I've paid my $90 loyally, in part because I wanted money to actually go to someone working on OSS, but also because I thought it was a good bargain, to get a quality, tested distro for that cost.
