Hello. I burned a CD with the 5.2 netinstall iso, and installed it onto a laptop (Acer Aspire 3680). Note that I'm *totally* new to laptops. The install went fine. But, when I boot it, it errors at the user login. A screen comes up, stating that X11 cannot start, and that it's probably the mouse. A bit of investigating revealed that there is no Synaptics module installed. It will

I just installed 5.3 on a tower box. When I plug in a usb flash drive, the machine crashes. I don't know how to diagnose the problem; I used gnome-system-log, and got this (watching it as I plugged it in): Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 12 16:43:27

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime

Hello. I'm setting up a computer that will run 'CentOS 6 server'. The MB is an Asus with a hw raid controller (Promise PDC-20276), which I want to use in RAID-1 mode. I noted (from a MB website) that it also needs a driver - which is probably why it's called a 'fakeraid'. So, I've been trying to determine if any recent kernels support this chip. Using

I'm teaching myself about ethernet cards, and found a TLDP page. I have CentOS 5.3. In this section: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4 in the 'Driver as module' subsection, regarding PCI cards, it states that there should be a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net" [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 [mykolas at sr1220

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default

I installed CentOS 5.3 on a desktop box, and I'm having a problem with the splash screen resolution (during bootup). I suppose that it somehow got configged when I set the GUI's screen (I run in level 5). I think that, in finding the highest res for the GUI, I went past the monitor's capability. But it's good now. During boot, I get a funny 'double' display (2 pointers, 2

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk at a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd:

I've been running CentOS 4.4 on my Thinkpad 600E machine. Now the new 2.6.9-55 kernel wants to support the SCSI devices I don't have. After the 4.4 --> 4.5 update, on the reboot kudzu informed me that it had detected my PIIX4 controller. Well, OK. That same chipset has been in this machine for 10 years, but if the OS wants to re-detected it that's fine with me. FWIW,

hello, I am absolutely new, means from non-IT sector but have attraction (developed recently) towards linux and have chosen the centos distro for the installation as an OS in my home PC for personal use. I went to the page: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386/ But don't understand amongst the variety of options there. I also don't know the technical terms like md5,

Hi, I am currently encoding 32 Khz/Qual-10/UWB encode mode, with MANUAL_ALLOC enabled ( similar to the c5x/c6x configuration). In file sb_celp.c, I noticed the scratch memory grow during recursive (UWB -> WB) calls to 'sb_encode'. 1. 'stack' was not tracked (with 'tmp_stack' as done at other palaces) after/before - auto-correlation/Levinson-Durbin scope (~line

When using the PLM package (version 1.2-8), I encounter the probem that calling the FGLS estimator evokes strange behavior, when choosing the "random" effects model. After calling the PGGLS function to estimate FGLS, PLM gives me a warning, stating that the "random" model has been replaced with the "pooling" model. I would, however, really like to estimate the random

Dear colleagues, preparing a release of my package ?polmineR? I encountered the following issue with a new warning issued when running R CMD check with the --as-cran option on Debian with R-devel. To reexport the magrittr pipe operator %>%, my package adopted I snippet you?d see in the dplyr package, for instance: #' @importFrom magrittr %>% #' @export magrittr::`%>%` The

I'm curious why CentOS contradicts its own (or, actually RH's) netfilter default policy. On http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables , at the end of section 1, it's stated that (generally) the default policy for INPUT is to DROP. So, why is it set to ACCEPT? Btw, Fedora is also this way.

Hello. I tried to compile a program (plugger), but I don't have *any* sort of compiler installed. This is on Cent5.3. So, I used Package Manager, concentrating on gcc. But, it seems that I have a choice, thus: gcc-4.1.2-46.el5.i386 gcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1.i386 gcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.2.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.2.i386 ... along with some

I can't get my HP DeskJet D2345 (USB) to work on my CentOS 5.3 machine. It'll work on another machine (with Fedora 7). I compared the installation details (in CUPS http://localhost:631) - seems that Cent does not have the driver. On the F7 machine, the device is "D2345 (HP D2300 series)" and the driver is "HP DeskJet D2300 Foomatic/hpijs". When I try to config my
