Good Day-- I've been backing up my essential stuff to DVD+R discs for quite a while with no trouble at all. Last week I tried backing up to a DVD+RW with no trouble at all. This week, when trying to re-write my weekly backup, CD/DVD Creator told me it could not write to the disc because it was read-only. Is there a bug in CD/DVD Creator or am I doing something incorrectly. Obviously,

I just put a USB hard drive into service, but find that unless the drive is connected to my PC the machine won't boot and drops to a shell. Below is the line I added to fstab. I thought that the option "noauto" would prevent the machine from trying to mount the drive /dev/sdb /usbdrive ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 2 What am I doing wrong? Any advice is

I had been running CentOS 4.x for quite some time with no problems. Apparently I stubbed my toe when installing CentOS 5 final. Symptoms: various web sites are not properly displayed in Firefox 3.0.1 (or predecessors). In particular, cnn.com and any calls to Google display with a screen full of ascii characters rather than images. When I look at "page info" within Firefox, it

Somehow I did something that caused my gnome desktop to evaporate. The only thing that hasn't vanished is the task bar I have set up at the bottom of the screen. Which configuration files/directory may have become corrupt or gone? Any help would be appreciated.

Nvidia driver for 6200 LE video card. No problems with CentOS 4.5. When installed (not upgraded) 5.0 X would not start. X works fine with 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 but only with xorg.conf as written for 4.5 Haven't seen traffic regarding this problem. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Dick -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither

Good Morning-- I'm looking to shore up security in my system and with communications. Can you point me to the proper version of GnuPG for CentOS 5.3 (Final)?

Hi, since the last few days my system crashs at startup of gdm (on system boot). If I choose runlevel 2, the system doesn't crash. I found out, that HAL is the problem. After disabling hal (chkconfig haldaemon --off) no crashes appear. The system freezes completly so I can't look into the logfiles. I removed an reinstalled hal already, but nothing changed. I tried older kernels

Had to replace dying cpu and mobo, so also replaced IDE with new SATA drive. Installed from latest ISO onto SATA and can't get networking to lease an IP address from my ISP (Comcast). The network utility always comes up with a private address (192.168.0.2) instead of Comcast IP. To add to confusion, if I boot into old IDE drive, I get proper network connection to internet, but lose my

Charles, It looks like the buildbot no longer builds (if it ever did, I don remember) the HAL addons, even if the requirements are met: configure:9680: checking for libhal version via pkg-config (0.5.8 minimum required) configure:9690: result: 0.5.11 found configure:9694: checking for libhal cflags via pkg-config configure:9703: result: -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE -I/usr/include/hal

Hi All, I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool. However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was not working. When I started X it would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and worked. Thinking I had some serious bug in nvidia binary was my thought - but I kept looking. I saw

I'm in the process of setting up CentOS 4.3 on an old 400MHz K6 and found that the system hangs within several seconds of starting haldaemon. With haldaemon disabled, everything seems to work. >From what I've read, disabling haldaemon isn't a problem, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen similar problems or if anyone had any troubleshooting tips. I found a similar

Hi R-Helpers, Sorry to bother you, but I have a simple task that I can't figure out how to do. For example, I have some names in two columns NamesWide<-data.frame(Name1=c("Tom","Dick"),Name2=c("Larry","Curly")) and I simply want to get a single column

Hi, You were on the right track using stack(), but you just pass the entire data frame as a single object, not the separate columns: > stack(NamesWide) ? values ? ind 1 ? ?Tom Name1 2 ? Dick Name1 3 ?Larry Name2 4 ?Curly Name2 Note that stack also returns the index (second column of 'ind' values), which tells you which column in the source data frame the stacked values originated

Just to repeat: you have NamesWide<-data.frame(Name1=c("Tom","Dick"),Name2=c("Larry","Curly")) and you want NamesLong<-data.frame(Names=c("Tom","Dick","Larry","Curly")) There must be something I am missing, because NamesLong <- data.frame(Names = c(NamesWide$Name1, NamesWide$Name2)) appears to

USB sticks and cameras used to pop right up on my desktop. Now they don't. I've checked the Gnome "Drives and Media Preferences" and nothing has changed -- I have "Mount removable media when inserted" etc. (Tried toggling it off and back on, no effect.) I've logged out and back in, even rebooted. /var/log/messages shows the devices are being recognized by udev:

I may be missing something but using the plain old c() combine function seems to work fine: df <- data.frame(left = 1:5, right = 6:10) df.combined <- data.frame(comb = c(df$left, df$right)) df left right 1 1 6 2 2 7 3 3 8 4 4 9 5 5 10 df.combined comb 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 -----Original

I'm looking into backing up my CentOS 5.5 system using an external USB 2.0 hard drive. Anyone with experience with Toshiba Canvio USB 750 GB unit? I'm backing up to DVDs now and would like to streamline the process. Any advice is welcome with thanks. Dick -- Yes indeed...the Hokey Pokey *is* what its all about!

Given that I hardly ever use the CD-ROM drive, it makes no sense to have hal constantly polling it for new media. How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1? Thanks.

Hello, Auto-mounting of USB flash-drives and CD-RW (as well as CD-R) was working fine with CentOS 4.0 release for all users. This feature of auto-recognition and mounting is not working with CentOS 4.2 release for any user. I have checked the usual possible points of problems -- fstab, fstab-sync, haldaemon, etc. -- but have found no problems. Any suggestions on other possible work-arounds ?
