Hi, Is there any way I can read a .docx file on my CentOS desktop ? Cheers, Niki

Hi, Until now I've been a happy user of CentOS. Everything just works(tm), and I don't care if application versions are slightly outdated. Next week I have to give a series of classes for a company that recently made the switch to Linux. On schedule is a one-week course for Writer and Calc. And right now I discover that one crucial function of Calc, "fill series",

Hi, I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE. It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5. For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I

Hi, I am attempting to find an openoffice powerpower point viewer. I found imposter but when I run my file it says "Cannot find zip signature".

Anyone know of a good power point viewer for centos? or a way to make impress

Hi, I've been using Debian for a few years, and there was one nifty little app that made installing and updating so much easier: apt-proxy. Most of the time, I'm taking care of small LANs with an average of five client PCs. But this is a very remote place in South France, so most villages only have 512 kbps DSL. One major update for openoffice.org-*, and I have to wait the whole day

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 + KDE on my workstation. Since the latest big batch of updates, Dolphin behaves a bit weirdly. When I download a .zip archive and then right click and "Extract here", the extracted files don't show. I have to hit F5 to refresh the current directory view and display the new files.

Hi, I've just installed CentOS 5.0 on my father's laptop, in replacement of Windows XP. Everything runs fine, except I can't seem to print from Firefox. So far, I can print a test page from the CUPS interface (as root). As user, printing works fine from applications such as GEdit or OpenOffice.org Writer. But I can't print anything from Firefox. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs

Hi, I'm using a heavily tweaked CentOS 5.4 for desktop installs (here's what it looks like: http://www.microlinux.fr/captures.html). For every app I install, I try to configure a sensible default configuration system-wide for all users. For example, once I found a nice configuration for XMMS (default skin, loads of plugins, orange On Screen Display in a nice font, etcetera), I put my

Hi, I'm currently installing a CentOS 5 desktop as a public internet access point. The machine shuts down every day automatically at 22:30. Is there a way I can display a message in GNOME at 22:15 warning the user that the machine will shutdown in 15 minutes ? Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs

Hi, I'm using the SquidAnalyzer network analysis tool in combination with Squid. Up until now, I've been running Slackware Linux on my servers. I built a custom package that installs SquidAnalyzer to /var/www/vhosts/squidreport/html. Then I setup an Apache virtual host for SquidAnalyzer's pages. Since I'm migrating my servers from Slackware to CentOS, I'd like to build a

Hi, Until last week, I could install a CentOS 7 based desktop using the following approach: 1. Install minimal system. 2. yum groupinstall "X Window System" 3. yum install gdm gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal liberation-fonts 4. Install applications as needed. This morning, the package group "X Window System" seems to have disappeared. This is embarrassing. What

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, Until now, I've only managed local user management on small network with no more than five or six machines, e. g. all user data stored locally on each and every machine (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group). Now I'd like to learn remote identity management, that is, all user data stored centrally on one machine (so I don't have to wonder who has which UID and GID when I want

Hi, Is there any 'explodepkg' equivalent for the rpm command? What I want is simply uncompress an RPM package to get the files directly, but I didn't find anything in rpm's manpage. Cheers, Niki Kovacs
