similar to: Skype vs. CentOS: no outgoing sound

Hi, I'd like to get my microphone to work (mainly to use it with Skype). I've just been looking for a simple audio recording app, as I vaguely remember having seen such a thing before, only I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm using the default GNOME desktop with the latest CentOS 5. Any suggestions? Niki

Note: The Wiki for Skype needs a tiny update. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype It's not a Beta now. Last night, I downloaded and installed skype-2.0.0.63-centos.i586.rpm The Skype web site calls this a "Gold" release. I'm having the same problem I had when I tried to use the Skype Beta. It's not picking up audio from the microphone. The hardware works fine, when I'm

Hi, Earlier this day I started a thread about Skype not working with outgoing sound. Now I wonder if it's not a problem with my soundcard. I had a vague suspicion about this, but since it's way off the original topic, I decided to start a new thread about this. Here's what the soundcard looks like: [root at grossebertha etc]# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel

I have written this configuration script which uses OpenSky to make Skype calls directly from Asterisk devices using my companies SIP to Skype gateway. Users can dial skype_anyskypeusername or manually add names or extensions which can get mapped to the correct dialing sequence. The right sequence is username at opensky.gizmo5.com but that gets mapped to sipphone address so I set that up to map

Hi, When I perform a software RAID 1 or RAID 5 installation on a LAN server with several hard disks, I wonder if GRUB already gets installed on each individual MBR, or if I have to do that manually. On CentOS 5.x and 6.x, this had to be done like this: # grub grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd1,0) grub>

Anyone connected up to it yet? http://www.skypeforsip.com/ It would seem to make Digiums chan_skype rather pointness, or am I missing something? Or is this Digiums chan_skype in a hosted box somewhere? Gordon

How do I make my headset work. Before I try it with anything else, I'd like to make it work with arecord and aplay. VLC and movie player can make sounds with my external speakers. though not in my headset yet. I've got an insignia NS-PAH5101 headset. As directed, the red connector is in the pink spot and the green connector in green spot in the back of my computer. arecord folloed by aplay

Hi, The subject says it all. After a few years of writing scripts the quick and dirty way, I've decided to take the plunge and learn Bash correctly, using the O'Reilly Bash Cookbook. I'm currently looking for the right place to ask questions, but curiously enough, Google searches about "bash forum" result in nothing conclusive. I took a peek in the corresponding USENET

Hi, I just installed CentOS 7 + GNOME on my Asus S300 laptop. So far everything runs very nice and smoothly, and I'm quite happy with it. Curiously enough, I can't seem to be able to set a custom wallpaper. I tried various locations like /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome and /usr/share/backgrounds/images, but the images don't appear in the wallpaper selection

Hi, I've been setting up a networked printer in a 100% Linux LAN, and there's only one small problem left: how do I localize the CUPS interface (e. g. the pages I see when opening http://localhost:631 in a browser)? My system is localized in french. LANG is fr_FR.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. And I checked Firefox: it's supposed to open web content in French. Curiously, I had

Hi, I've recently setup a new server for our public libraries. For the last two years, this has been my first "big" job, since it involves networking eleven small to medium size public libraries. There was a hiccup some time ago when the administration hiring me wanted to do it on their own, but it took them less than two weeks to get the server hacked and lose everything. So

Hi, What's the most simple way to check if my microphone works on a plain CentOS 5.3 desktop? Is there a simple way, for example, to record voice into a simple .wav file? Niki

Hi, I have to solve an apparently simple permission problem, and I don't know if it's the sunny weather or birdsong, well... I just can't figure it out. Here goes. I have a bunch of users in a public library. Some are "administrators": they handle the library, write the docs for everyone, etc. Then you have the "agents", who take care of lending books and

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Nginx on CentOS 7. Eventually I want to use it instead of Apache on some servers. Apache works more or less out of the box with SELinux. My websites are all stored under /var/www, and ls -Z shows me that all files created under /var/www are correctly labeled httpd_sys_content_t. On my sandbox server I don't have Apache (httpd) installed, only Nginx

Hi, I'm currently configuring Squid and Squidguard for filtering web access in a public computer room. So far, everything works fine. I know how to configure Firefox to use a proxy, but there's no way to protect that configuration, e. g. a more knowledgeable user might circumvent this configuration. Is there some way to configure an HTTP proxy system-wide? Cheers from the sunny

Hi, Bit of a puzzle this one - let's see if anybody else can shed some light... I Ghosted my Asterisk box to build one for a colleague. I added one HFC card to make the total two and amended zaptel.conf and zapata.conf accordingly. I tested it with my handsets on my ISDN lines and it worked AOK. I unplugged the box and took it to his house and plugged it in. He doesn't have any ISDN

Hi, I've been setting up a few printer servers with CUPS. Our public libraries here all run 100% Linux (CentOS 5), so what I do is simply install the printer on one of the machines (with a static IP) and then configure CUPS so it can act as a printer server for Linux clients. It took me some time to figure this out, and I remember pulling my hair out for a few sunny afternoons, but I

Thanks, I got it to work

Hi, I'm using Samba for some basic setups like open shares for everybody, or restricted shares with Samba users and passwords. So far, everything works fine. I have two situations which both more or less amount to the same, and I don't know how to configure it. One is in a school, the other one in a town hall. 1) In the school, I'd like to configure a share that is readable and

Actually, I mistook black for green. Green was occupied by my external speakers. Putting the headset's green plug in the
