I downloaded the .rpm file from Google and am trying to install Picasa for Linux on CentOS 5. I get the below error. Is this because I'm using SELinux or because of something else? I found a small Picasa folder in /opt (24 items, 143.7 KB) but it seems to end there. Picasa is one of the programs my wife uses on Windows. TIA! [root at dell2400 lanny]# rpm -Uvh picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.rpm

The web site for CentOS is not responding. I can ping it OK, but the web site is not responding to http requests from my browser. If the webmaster should happen to read this...

Hi I have been facing a strange connectivity problem from CentOS and Fedora boxes. When I telnet to $ telnet adp.eease.com 443 it works fine some times and every 5-10 tries or so it says connection refused. And this does not happen from my windows box. Can anyone from this list try this on their linux installation and see if they get the same behaviour? Thanks Tharun

I have a simple automount configuration problem. I've done two similar, clean, Custom installations of CentOS 5.0, on two similar, but not identical boxes. On my box, automount is working perfectly. On my daughter's box, it's not working. If I put the FC6 DVD into the drive in my box, I can see the contents of the DVD, without any problem. If I cat /etc/mtab in my box, I see this line:

I just finished updating my Desktop, from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 (32 bit). There were a lot of error messages (from sbin/ldconfig ?) about 2 files, in usr/lib/lib ending in .so "is not an ELF file - It has the wrong magic bytes at the start." There were also a lot of messages I believe have to do with SELinux. I'd read the Release Notes and thought I was OK, since this box is dual boot

Hello: The box is dual boot (Win XP & CentOS 5). A Dell Dimension 4300 Celeron. There was an intermittent problem with this last year and last Thanksgiving, I wiped the HD and installed Win XP and CentOS 5 clean. My daughter asked me to install KStars which is in the kdeedu RPM on the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD. I did that, without any problems, on my box and on my wife's box. On the

I have been using a free DNS service for the past seven (7) years. This morning, at 4 A.M., , I changed the "A" record for one of my web sites, to point to an IP address on a different server, so I could test. After watching the TTL count down from 3600 to zero, with the "dig" command, it then reset to 3600, but still resolved to the original IP address. :-) I set the

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Folks, Evo update on my 4.x worked just fine. 5.0 generated a bunch of parsing errors preceded and followed by a couple of I/O errors that appear related to an unavailable URL. I first figured corruption on my node, so I yum erased evo, its - connector and -webcal units. The data-server removal looked as if it might remove half my Gnome desktop, so I left it in place. Then I did a selective

Hello: Starting Friday afternoon, I blew away the installations on the three (3) boxes we use as Desktops. On two (2) of them (my Dell Dimension 2400 and my wife's Compaq Evo D300v), I have MS Windows XP and CentOS5 running. :-) On my daughters box (Dell Dimension 4300) I am having problems with the partitioning. Probably this is due to some mistake I have made, with regard to

Dropbox has an RPM for Fedora Core 9 (x86). I am running CentOS 5.4 on my Desktop, which I believe is based on Fedora Core 6. Are the libraries Fedora Core 9 uses substantially different than those CentOS 5.4 uses? If Dropbox had an SRPM available, I would Download that and Rebuild, but I'm sure it is Proprietary and they won't release an SRPM to me. TIA! Lanny

I'm curious about SeaMonkey (especially the HTML Composer). Which Yum Repository has the RPM for CentOS 5.2 (32 bit). TIA!

I had a corrupted installation of OpenOffice.org 3.1. When I used "yum remove openoffice.org-core" the response was "package openoffice.org-core available but not installed", but then, when I used "yum install openoffice.org-core there was a long list of Transaction Check Errors. I then removed openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-noarch which was in the errors. Here's the

The version of Google Earth I installed last December was working great this morning. Then, I decided to update to the latest version and when I tried to do that with yum, I didn't have the right name for the package (now, I think it may be "google-earth"), so I downloaded the file (GoogleEarthLinux.bin) and installed with "sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin" The latest version is

On 28 July, I changed from ProtectBase to Priorities. I kept unusually detailed notes that day. Yesterday, when I added the RPMForge respository, so I could install MPlayer, I found that the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file no longer exists. I'm not sure how that happened. Question: Is there a way to regenerate that file? TIA -- Lanny
