rsh problems in CentOS 5.2 (was "cvs command failure on 5.2")
Okay, I've narrowed the problem down quite a bit. As previously
reported, in CentOS 5.2 I get this:
$ cvs log Makefile
poll: protocol failure in circuit setup
cvs [log aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
Turns out this is a problem with rsh:
$ rsh khan ls

Yum update wants to overwrite newer app package
This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway (I do that - you all
know... :-).
Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using OOo 2.3, back when I was
still running CentOS 5.0.
Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update my OOo from 2.3 BACK to
2.0.
Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is newer than 2.0, or should
I just exclude OOo from the updates?
Thanks.

Evolution in CentOS 5.2
(Probably OT)
Has anyone else noticed these flaky (new?) behaviors in Evo since the
5.2 upgrade:
- REALLY slow saving messages from inbox to another folder
- search capability separated by folder instead of overall (with no
option for control)
- failure to autocomplete email addresses for known contacts
I think that's it. I was wondering if it was just me, or if others
had noticed this.

Extended characters not working on CentOS
A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page
www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the
page.
Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky
1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to
display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes
instead).
However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed

Understanding iptables
In following up on the rsh "problem" I was having earlier, I decided
to try out the suggestion Felipe sent about using
system-config-securitylevel-tui to open up ports 513 and 514, but that
doesn't seem to do the job, either.

nspluginwrapper included in CentOS 5.2 fails completely
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out
with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I
thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the
mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work,
either.
I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build

(Global/Any) setting for "show hidden files?" - SOLVED

Never mind - apparently if you right-click in the file list and select
"show hidden files", it sticks system-wide.

Firewall for virtual machines
I realize I'm not getting a lot of questions answered here lately, and
I'm going to presume that this is for legitimate reasons (i.e., people
don't know or are too busy to think about it), not because they seem
stupid (if they do, please tell me, on the list or privately).
I run Windows as a VMWare guest on top of my CentOS host, and I
generally have not used a firewall on the guest.

Hardware serial number access from (a) command(s)
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.

CD burning issues & questions
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

Question re RHEL 5.3
I've heard now from more than one source about problems with CentOS
(and RH) at least up through 5.2 w.r.t. SATA drive handling, and I've
even reported on this myself in this list before.
My question is, do we have any idea if 5.3 has any improvements in this area?
One of my cohorts here, who happens to be a Fedora fan, says that
these problems are fixed in F9, but I have grave concerns

Can't print PDFs or PSs in CentOS 5.0
For some reason, when I try to print any graphic PDF (or a PS file made
from said graphic), it kills my Minolta 1100 laser printer, and I have
to cancel the job, disable the printer and turn the printer off and on
as many times as it takes to clear its buffer of the trash.
I'm running CentOS 5.0 and have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for
Linux; I have also tried printing the pdf to a file

Can't print a pdf?
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:

Trouble (?) reformatting flash drive to include former U3 partition
Semi-OT?
I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with
the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably
less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable
and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part
of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and
CentOS's fdisk,

USB printer goes into disconnected state when low-power mode enabled
I've mentioned this before, here, but with a laser printer connected via
the lp0 port.
I have a new laser printer, a Brother HL2140, that normally works just
fine when installed using the CUPS interface per OpenPrinting's
instructions (with one minor modification I had to add because the base
driver without the CUPS installation did not work.

Have you tried a 'yum clean all' ? That usually resolves this sort of
issue for me.

Audio issue(s)
I just bought a new (refurbished) Everexe StepNote laptop with a VIA
C7-M CPU and a VIA chipset, installed CentOS 5.4 on it and the audio
is not working.
I looked around for a sound driver for the VIA vt1708/a, which is what
it claims to have (see below), but that didn't work either.
Any pointers as to what I'm missing?
