similar to: Re: Curiosity when installing CentOS 5.1 in addition to W98 & WXP - SOLVED

I got half way through an installation of CentOS on a box that has Window$ 98 in the first partition and Window$ XP in the second, where CentOS was designated for partitions 3 (/boot - 128MB) and 4 (/) and had some strange results. During the install, I changed the default OS to boot to Window$ (because I rarely use this machine, but others who don't have a clue use Wxx), but then while the

Over the weekend, I had to make a technical support call on one of my DVD burners, and at one point the recorded message mentioned I should have my serial number handy. I thought there was a way to read that from at least one piece of software on the system, but I couldn't remember one and man -k on a number of subjects was unrevealing. Can someone enlighten me (us)? Thanks. mhr

Hi, With WXP it's fine but with W98 or NT I don't see services. Here is an extract of the "log.machine" [2003/05/22 10:51:13, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(636) pcvideo (141.115.16.24) connect to service rieux as user rieux (uid=902, gid=900) (pid 956) [2003/05/22 10:51:29, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252) pcvideo (141.115.16.24) couldn't find service

I have been having some strange results trying to burn CDs under CentOS. I don't think they are hardware related because I have had some success, in fact most of this usually works. I use k3b for most of my CD and DVD writing - it seems to work fairly well (well, except for wrecking my installation a few weeks ago when it crashed my installation and I had to reinstall to get it back, but

Hello, I've tried both samba-3.0.0beta2 and beta3 but both give me the same problem. When on a windows dekstop and trying to add a printer with samba as the printserver , the printers exported by the samba server are not seen by the windows "add printer dialogue" e.g.: relevant part of smb.conf: ----------------------------------- load printers = yes printing = cups

I just used a Live CD for the first time today, in part to show what CentOS can do for a co-worker who is looking at using it at work and home, but I got the strangest result. We booted the CD and let the centos user log in. It took a really long time to load the desktop and there were no panels, so the only things we could do were browse the computer, CD, home, file system, keyboard (sort of)

I am running CentOS 5/2 (latest updates) with the GNOME DE on a 32-bit machine (at work). I have k3b installed, and I was trying to copy a DVD earlier this morning, but k3b said it couldn't read encrypted DVDs. So, I installed libdvdcss from rpmforge and restarted k3b. It hung the system. I rebooted, and / had been damaged. After running e2fsck from the repair prompt, I rebooted and a

I need help from someone experienced with the CentOS bug tracking system. I gotta say it is one of the most complicated and imposing front ends I've ever seen. Could anyone familiar with it please file a bug on my behalf?

I just had a strange occurrence. I was printing out some PDFs and I pulled one down off the web (my wireless bill) and tried to print page 1. My browser properly fired up AR9, but nothing printed. I tried agian, still nothing. I saved the file, opened it with the Document Viewer and it can't print the file either. I tried opening it with GIMP, and it gets this error: Opening

Thanks to everyone who has tried to help so far. Not quite there but I think I'm close. For anyone new, it's a private 2 comp network (RH9 and WXP) so I just want the simplest guest access possible. This is my current smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = SAMBA encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd security = share null

hello, i have a linux machine running samba with these settings: workgroup = ... netbios name = ... interfaces = lo eth1 bind interfaces only = yes hosts allow = .... smb ports = 139 local master = no os level = 35 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no browseable = yes .... the wxp computers have dhcp enable, the dhcp server has these

Hi, I've finally gotten my LDAP password backend up and running, and finally figured out the SID 1000/1001 thing for Samba admin. However I'm unable to join the workstation to my domain. Using any random user in the WXP dialogue, I get the "Access is Denied" error. Fair enough. Using the user with sambasid and sambagroupsid s-*-1000/s-*-1001, I get the error "The Username

I know this isn't the right forum for this (do I ever!), but you-all know so much about everything I thought I'd ask. About two months ago I resurrected my daughter's Compaq laptop (cracked screen - replaced it) and ran an update on it. It's running Windows XP, SP1 (I think), but since the update it has run about 1/3 as fast as it used to. Does anyone know if there was a WXP
