similar to: TwinView (on NVIDIA graphics card)?

Hi. Is anyone here running CentOS 6 with dual monitors configured as a single X Screen? I'm trying such a setup on version 5 (again), using NVIDIA TwinView, and it works in many ways, but there are a number of problems that means it's not too usable - the most important one being that there appears to be no way to control which of the displays new applications/windows will appear

Hi Is anyone here using NVIDIA display drivers and a TwinView configuration on their systems? I've got a bit of an issue with such a setup, which started occurring after a recent driver update: I have a laptop that's normally connected to an external monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster), where this monitor and the built-in display on the laptop are set up with a TwinView configuration. The

Hi, Is there any way to customise the top panel in CentOS 7 with GNOME 3 (which I recently tried for the first time)? Specifically, I want to add "application launchers", as it will make start-up faster than the standard alternatives. (Because you can move the mouse directly to the right place - you don't have to carry out another action, wait for icons or menu items to pop up,

Does anyone else run Microsoft Teams on CentOS 7? I've used it for a while now, and it's generally worked reasonably well. However, after upgrading to the latest version from the Microsoft repos, it doesn't start up properly. Processes start and remain active until I give up and kill them, but I can't see a window or a tray icon or anything. Has anyone else seen this? Is there

Hi Just thought I might ask my recent question about Eclipse again, only in a slightly different way: Is anyone here using the Eclipse version supplied with the CentOS 6 distro (as opposed to a build downloaded from www.eclipse.org)? Does it work for you? Are you able to install additional components via the built-in software setup mechanism? Thanks, - Toralf This e-mail, including any

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access rpm packages on the CentOS 6 install DVD after booting into "rescue mode" from the same DVD? I mean, I can't immediately see the Packages directory or a full DVD mount point... TIA, - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged. It

I'm trying to set up a custom rpm respository for some in-house software, and configure a number of CentOS 5 clients so that they may install and update the software in question from the location in question. I think I've mostly figured out how to do this - I've successfully installed software on one of the clients via "yum install <my package>" after adding an

Hello again, Another problem with my new CentOS 6 installation: The C/C++ support in Eclipse seems to be partial or missing - even though eclipse-cdt is installed. Eclipse starts all right, and I get a C/C++ perspective, but: 1. If I open a C++ file, it's sent to an external editor. 2. C or C++ is not mentioned in Preferences. 3. I can't find a reference to CDT under Help->About

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to add a "new mail" notification icon to the panel/system tray under CentOS 6? On CentOS 5, I used the "mail-notification" software package provided by the Fedora "EPEL" distribution, but this is gone from the version 6 repository, and the one from version 5 won't install just like that due to dependency issues. Maybe it's

Hi, I'm using CentOS on a laptop that part of the time is connected to a docking station with two monitor connected to it. When the laptop lid is docked, its lid is closed, as the system is placed in a position where it's not convenient to keep it open, let alone look at the screen. Now in the past, with CentOS 5 (on a different laptop, but same physical config) and 6, the screen has

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a couple of servers of type IBM System x3550 M3, but it's not going too well. Actually, the install setup phase runs as expected, and the actual installation also appears to be successful, but the system will not boot - I just get a message (presumably) from BIOS saying that boot from hard disk 0. If I start the installer again after this, or boot

Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So,

How exactly are you supposed to configure the display (i.e. set up X11) on a CentOS 6 system? I mean, in the past, there was system-config-display, but that's not supported any more. There is gnome-display-properties/System->Preferences->Display, but that seems to rely completely on auto-detection of the graphics card and monitors. What if this fails? Surely there should be a way to

Hi Does anyone know what exactly controls which filesystems are listed when opening Computer (URL computer:///) in the File Browser? I have a system disk with 4 different data partitions, but only 3 of them show up in the list. The "missing" one can, however, be mounted just fine from the command line, and it's also included in /dev/disk/by-label. It has an NTFS file system,

Hi, After some recent upgrade or the other, the browser plugin for java no longer works in my CentOS 6 x86_64 setup - using Firefox. Applets won't load, and no java plugin is mentioned in "about:plugins". The "openjdk" Java packages as well as icetea-web are installed, though, and everything worked just fine a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what may be

Has anybody here tried the "Monit" utility (http://mmonit.com/monit/)? I need to set up some kind of "watchdog" functionality for a custom service otherwise started via init (i.e. via a script in /etc/init.d + rc*.d links managed by chkconfig) and it seems like this system may give me nearly what I want. However, something that concerns me about it, is that it appears to

Hi, Is anyone here using a Logitech wireless mouse our keyboard or whatever using a "unifying receiver". Any luck with pairing new devices with the unit? I've tried various different programs from the net that's supposed to be able to do this, but they all fail in one way or the other. "pairing_tool" and "ltpair" will exit with a "broken pipe"
