Hello. I burned a CD with the 5.2 netinstall iso, and installed it onto a laptop (Acer Aspire 3680). Note that I'm *totally* new to laptops. The install went fine. But, when I boot it, it errors at the user login. A screen comes up, stating that X11 cannot start, and that it's probably the mouse. A bit of investigating revealed that there is no Synaptics module installed. It will

I just installed 5.3 on a tower box. When I plug in a usb flash drive, the machine crashes. I don't know how to diagnose the problem; I used gnome-system-log, and got this (watching it as I plugged it in): Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 12 16:43:27

I saved pictures on an SD card with my Nokia phone (1 GB). Now, I'm trying to use the card on my Acer Aspire 3680 (laptop) running 5.3 and gnome. Popping the card in (until it clicks) evokes nothing from the system log or dmesg, and I don't see anything relevant in /dev. (What is the device for this?) lspci has this entry: 0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime

Hello. I'm setting up a computer that will run 'CentOS 6 server'. The MB is an Asus with a hw raid controller (Promise PDC-20276), which I want to use in RAID-1 mode. I noted (from a MB website) that it also needs a driver - which is probably why it's called a 'fakeraid'. So, I've been trying to determine if any recent kernels support this chip. Using

I'm teaching myself about ethernet cards, and found a TLDP page. I have CentOS 5.3. In this section: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4 in the 'Driver as module' subsection, regarding PCI cards, it states that there should be a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net" [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 [mykolas at sr1220

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk at a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd:

hello, I am absolutely new, means from non-IT sector but have attraction (developed recently) towards linux and have chosen the centos distro for the installation as an OS in my home PC for personal use. I went to the page: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386/ But don't understand amongst the variety of options there. I also don't know the technical terms like md5,

I'm curious why CentOS contradicts its own (or, actually RH's) netfilter default policy. On http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables , at the end of section 1, it's stated that (generally) the default policy for INPUT is to DROP. So, why is it set to ACCEPT? Btw, Fedora is also this way.

Hello. I tried to compile a program (plugger), but I don't have *any* sort of compiler installed. This is on Cent5.3. So, I used Package Manager, concentrating on gcc. But, it seems that I have a choice, thus: gcc-4.1.2-46.el5.i386 gcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1.i386 gcc-4.1.2-46.el5_4.2.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.1.i386 gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5_4.2.i386 ... along with some

I've got a Centos 4.5 box at work (installed at 4.0 and kept up to date) that's having a really weird problem I haven't been able to figure out. It's been doing on for a loong time but today it just got my goat and I spent some bit of time fighting with it, unsuccessfully. /etc/X11/xorg.conf specifies that the display resolution should be 1280x1024. When root logs in it is. when

Hi all, I set up a Samba server (version 3.0.24) names "Lamp" on a Debian Etch distribution. It provides a "guest" (guest ok = yes, guest only = yes, security = SHARE) access to a "share" directory, which works fine. Indeed, I can access \\lamp\share from a Windows machine (named "Ginger") without issuing a password. I can also ping the Linux machine

I can't get my HP DeskJet D2345 (USB) to work on my CentOS 5.3 machine. It'll work on another machine (with Fedora 7). I compared the installation details (in CUPS http://localhost:631) - seems that Cent does not have the driver. On the F7 machine, the device is "D2345 (HP D2300 series)" and the driver is "HP DeskJet D2300 Foomatic/hpijs". When I try to config my

Hi there, I am trying to migrate from using syslinux with the gfxboot patch to using vesamenu.c32 which is a much simpler solution for my needs. The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose". By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are
