Hi, firefox does not play h.264 videos on centos 7 so I need a flash plugin. But I see packages only for centos 6.x. What can I do? - Gergely

Hi there, some of my users use putty to connect to my server via ssh protocol. After some time they get the above error message, and it could be that my CentOS-side configuration caused this. Do anybody has experience with this problem? - Gergely

Hi there, how can I configure a DSL access using the command line? The Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide does not describe this and I could not find any description on the internet. - Gergely

Hi there, I installed centos 7 -- it works great. What made me think is that installation took 1300 packages for a Desktop with some add-ons. As usual, there might be a solution for this already but I do not know it. Would it be possible to create one big package for a standard Desktop? Then an installation would not take ages. - Gergely

Dear CentOS users, is it possible to prepare for a certified (big North American Linux vendor) engineer exam with a CentOS install ? I have heard that the test contains questions on specific GUIs, are they included in the CentOS distribution? - Gergely

Hi, I use centos as it is stable and provides all the software that is needed for everyday use. However, sometimes I would like to use fresh software that is not available as a package. Compiling from source is indeed an option but because centos uses oldish sources not only the sought package should be built but a lot of other packages. An idea is to build it in a directory, as much

I have a quad core CPU running Centos5. When I use top, I see that running processes use 245% instead of 100%. If I use gkrellm, I just see one core being used 100%. top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SWAP SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 18037 thba 31 15 304m 242m 62m 44m R 245.3 4.1 148:58.72 ic Also in the log of some programs I see this strange factor: CPU Seconds = 2632

Hi there, for some reasons bash writes out my host's mac address as a result of including \h in PS1. Do you know why? This was not always so. [gergoe at x0-13-xx-xx-xx-xx ~]$ echo $PS1 [\u@\h \W]\$ - Gergely

Hi there, I am running various browsers on my CentOS 6.5. Firefox is running smoothly, especially with blocking flash animations. I recently installed Opera and I use Seamonkey for long, both suffers from being very slow. Does CentOS have any role in this? For your information I send cpuinfo, some people on #centos said that this could be the problem -- but then why Firefox flies? - Gergely $

Hi there, I tried to compile some trivial LaTeX file with the shipped XeLaTeX: $ xelatex trivial.tex This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3 (TeX Live 2013) restricted \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.

Hi there, I was using a ps/2 mouse. I had to connect a ps/2 keyboard. As I have only one ps/2 socket I connected an usb mouse. I then removed the other keyboard and reconnected the ps/2 mouse and removed the usb mouse. Now the ps/2 mouse does not work, even after reboot. What should I do? - Gergely

I have a couple C5 systems I want to back up. My plan is to, one way or another, back them up to a C5 machine in my office. I have samba installed on the systems to back up, the machines are mounted on the system in my office, and a tape library hanging of the system in my office. I was hoping to perform a simple /sbin/dump of the remote systems. I put together a script for another

Since the recent update from firefox2 to firefox3 the links in my mails do no longer work. No window pops up. After some debug I found the problem. Let's share it with others that experience the same problem: I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (manually downloaded, that might have caused the problem, I have not tried with 1.5) I'm using Firefox 3.0.2 (yum installed CentOS 4.7) To solve I

I recall others on this list are using fail2ban to block brute force login attempts. Packages are from the EPEL repo, so I'm just sharing some knowledge here. For about two months now I've had a CentOS 6.3 box (web host) in production that occasionally is ftp brute forced. Oddly enough fail2ban wasn't nabbing the perpetrators. I found that the iptables chain for VSFTP isn't

Dear All, I plan to replace an error disk that is part of an LV. from LVM how-to it could be done with using pvmove to move all PE from old disk to new disk.But the howto also said that pvmove is slow. Anyone has experience using pvmove on 2TB disk? Is it possible to make all PE on the old disk empty so I don't have to do pvmove (assuming that I can make a free space >= 2TB). Thank you in
