I am running CntOS 5 with Gnome. Every now and then I have noticed that the computer will somehow get the time wrong by several hours. Is there a simple way to adjust the time? So far the only way I have found is to boot into windows (it is a dual boot system), make the change there, and then get back into CentOS. Older versions of Red Hat and Fedora let you do it by right-clicking on

I have a small fixed ip network at home, running red hat 9 on two amd k6 500 Mhz boxes. One has 256 M memory and the other 320 M. They pretty much meet my needs, but lately I have detected that the internet sites I frequent are requiring some more modern software than I can run. I attempted to install Fedora 8, but that failed on the AMD processors. So I ordered a set of CentOS 5.3 i386

Hello The challenge/response password authentication seems to be broken on 4.6 version # wbinfo -V Version 4.6.0pre1-GIT-f479b1b # wbinfo -a DOTROLL+buz.richard%<password> plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication failed wbcAuthenticateUserEx(DOTROLL+buz.richard): error code was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD (0xc000006a) error message was: Wrong

Just when I thought I couldn't be wrong, I was wrong. We have woodpeckers that drill into the arial telephone cables, and water seeps through the holes and partially grounds the tip and/or ring wires causing hum. I thought the hum/buz on my lines was a telco problem. The Qwest HQ noise team assures me that my lines are within spec. Sure enough, when I listen on the test set the lines

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in

I'm having a terrible time trying to get the superodoctor software from super micro running. It appears now, I do not have any i2c modules installed in the kernel, which begs the answer, ARE they included in the latest CentOS kernel? Current kernel for me is 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp.

Dear All, I tried a USB2 Maxtor One touch II external hard disk on a couple of my Centos 4.2 boxes and found it initiallised the SCSI subsystem ok and added device "sda". But the performance is miserable, yet the same hardware running XP the performance is satisfactory. HDPARM gives results varying from 120k/sec to , at its peak 4.75M/s on a USB 2 machine, still very poor by any

From the howto: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec305.html I got some ideas to help me to tar up the OS. I had already been shown how to wrap it into SSH to deposit the tar file on another system, so I tried the following: tar cpvzf - -C / --exclude home --exclude media --exclude mnt --exclude proc --exclude */lost+found | ssh root at 10.0.0.2

My application runs a backgrond process and after running for a while I get this error in my logs: #<Errno::EMFILE: Too many open files Lasty, the ONLY code I have that does anything with files is: File.open(image_path, "wb") do |file| file.puts file_content end Any idea what this means? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi all, I recently started playing with swfdec and it looks pretty awesome so far. So, many thanks for your efforts guys! But when running swfplay on a swf-file containing videos, e.g. swfdec-flash-and-gnome.swf, the video doesn't play and I get some errors regarding GStreamer: <snip> SWFDEC: ERROR: swfdec_tag.c(238): tag_func_define_sprite: data after last frame SWFDEC: ERROR:

Below is what has been documented on this issue, and I am needing further guidance. Essetially, I am running in GNOME, but it isn't working properly.

Hi there, I set up my samba that it acts as a domain controller, when i start network neigborhood and click on the linux system and select netlogon ([NETLOGON] entry in smb.conf) i first had the problem with windows 98 that my password always was wrong. i fixed this with a registry setting (something with plaintext), now this part works. Now i configured my windows 98 for using a domain-server,

I performed the update yesterday that included installing kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and replacing ethereal with wireshark. First, the trivial... Wireshark would not run from the KDE menu without editing the menu to change the command from "wireshark" to "kdesu wireshark" because dumpcap is at usr/sbin/dumpcap instead of /usr/bin/dumpcap . Making the change causes wireshark to

I might be stupid and ask an idiot or offensive question, but here it is: "Why was tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only released for CentOS 2, when upstream has released it for all the versions?" The guys from X/OS have released it for 5.0 along with the other updates (on Oct. 9). Are the "enhancements"... "not important" as long as they're not "security

I needed wireshark on a test system; I had not installed it at setup time. So I did a yum install wireshark This seemed to have worked, but there is no executable that I can locate, and wireshark in not in the gnome panel. So I looked at a system were I had installed wireshark intitally, and I see a symlink for it in /usr/bin to consolehelper. What do I do to get wireshark working?
