Hey all I was sitting here thinking about things and I came up with an idea that sounded, at least in my head, like a good one. There has been a boom in things like twitter and brainbird and social networking setups in general. I was wondering if the project or anyone would be interested in setting up a status.net server specifically for the CentOS project ? Why? you ask, well here are some of

Hi, What's the most simple way to check if my microphone works on a plain CentOS 5.3 desktop? Is there a simple way, for example, to record voice into a simple .wav file? Niki

Hi all; I'm actually running RHEL 5.4 I installed the rpmforge centos repo (and disabled it). Then I installed the following: yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime yum --enablerepo=rpmforge

Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo

The question I have is are these articles something that the group would like on the wiki ? I know CentOS is more aimed at servers and sysadmins than home user but there are some of us out there and

Hello I was wondering if someone could put together a bug triage guide and put it on the wiki. I was looking for something to do tonight and z00dax said go hunt some bugs. So I went first to the wiki to look for a guide for a proper procedure on how the team would like bug triaging handled but didn't find one. I have triaged before but i know every place is different.

Hi, Is anyone here using TwinView with NVIDIA graphics drivers under CentOS 5? Just tried this configuration (I've been using dual monitors as separate X screens in the past), and while it works in a sense, there are a few issue that will probably prevent me from using it for real. Notably, which screen new applications start on (when using the Applications menu or panel launchers) seems to

Hello All I may have ruffled some feathers with a comment i made earlier about rpmforge. This was posted back on the ML.

This was a problem I had a while back. I lost the "Preferences" menu item in my "Applications" menu in Gnome.

Does mounting /tmp as noexec,nosuid break anything in CentOS 5? I've been in solaris land forever and a day and this is a pretty standard security measure.

I've read website http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS. I am a total newbie with CentOS, but currently, with update 21 of the Java 6 JDK and CentOS 5.5, the installing the JDK appears to be simpler: 1.
