Hi All; How do I enable/configure wireless in CentOS 5 ? I cannot find knetworkmanager anywhere.. Do I need to install another repository ? I did enable rpmfusion with no luck Thanks in advance...

Hi All; I'm awaiting a new linux laptop that will be my primary work machine. I want to implement a strategy that allows me as easily as possible to revert back to a former state. My primary concern is a scenario where I apply system updates and it breaks something that for me is critical. I wonder if a simple rsync script would work. If so, here's what I'm thinking: 1)

Hi List; where can I find the showfoto tool for CentOS v5 ? do I need to enable another yum repo somewhere? Thanks in advance

Hi All; I ran Linux as my main laptop OS for several years, then I got into a mac shop and bought a macbook. The macbook is ok but it just doesn't cut it per productivity so I've ordered another laptop (a 64bit laptop with 8G of memory expandable to 16G and 2 internal 320G 7200rpm drives) I'll be loading Linux as soon as the machine arrives from Dell. Here's my questions:

Hi List; I just got a new server (my first **real** server). It's a dell 2900 : quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip) 8G memory (expandable to 64G) 8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard PERC6i RAID controller etc I initially setup the system / RAID as follows: 1) booted off the dell setup CD 2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives 3) the setup bombed

I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't actually gives the step. 1. Am I correct in thinking it should be done in this way -

Hi, I own an Asus GT730-SL-2GD3-BRK, trying to drive two monitors at 2560x1440 resolution. Using gnome-shell with either Xorg or wayland I get screen freezes very frequently. Those freezes usually require a reboot to get working graphics (below a sample trace that I got yesterday). I am running Ubuntu 17.04 with the latest kernels avalable, I also tested various more recent kernels including

I am running Jaunty in a Dell M6400 laptop. I have a collection of electronic books with an index and search program to run searches on them. This is a Windows-based text-index and search utility, and I have installed it successfully using WINE in many earlier versions of Ubuntu as well as in another computer running Jaunty. But in my DELL M6400 when I installed it, initially it wouldn't

I've seen that too several times on my home "server". Once in a while (usually on one of the first days I'm on vacation) one of the drives stops responding. A shutdown

Hi all; I'm actually running RHEL 5.4 I installed the rpmforge centos repo (and disabled it).

Hi All; after years of running free Linux distros I've finally come to a place where I must have solid stability for my work laptop so I've purchased RHEL Workstation. I like it well enough - however I'd like to install digikam and get my system to play mp3's. I'm thinking I could get both of these from a centos repository. What do you'all think? If so, could

I have been reading about software raid. I configured my first software raid system about a month ago. I have 4 500 Gig drives configured in RAID 5 configuration with a total of 1.5TB. Currently I configured the complete individual drivers as software raid, then created a /dev/md0 with the drives I then created a /file_storage partition on /dev/md0. I created my /boot / and swap partitions on

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I

Hi List; I have a new dev server. As an independent consultant I want to maximize it's use. Some of my clients use RedHat/CentOS 64 bit, others Redhat/CentOS 32bit, some are even using Fedora and Debian. Here's my thought: I'd like to install each OS/version into it's own space on the disk. I'm thinking all I have to do is install one OS (say CentOS 64bit) and
