similar to: upgrading 32-bit installation to 64-bit

Does there exist *anywhere* a Java web browser plugin for 64-bit FireFox? The SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK (jdk-6u18-linux-amd64.rpm) does NOT include the Java web browser plugin library. java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm does not have one either. Should I install the *32-bit* SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK and use the 32-64 bit wrapper? I've searched the web and read the wiki

For some awful reason (can someone explain why?), the RHEL/CentOS build of firefox is hardwired to use evolution as its mailto client. With FF 2.<mumble> this was fixable with an about:config setting. With 3.0.<mumble>, it seems not. What is the proper way of fixing this? *I* ended up doing a 'sudo rpm -e evolution' and then doing a 'sudo ln -s

I'm trying to learn Asterisk (specifically Trixbox) and, as you probably know, it runs on CentOS. I want to run it on my laptop and thought that I could install it to an external USB hard drive, like I've done with Fedora 12 and Linux Mint 8 (I like to keep my small CentOS/Windows dual booting hard drive in the laptop's hard drive slot). But it won't work. It kept giving me hard

My CentOS4 machine died (CPU cooler failure, causing CPU to die). In this machine I had 5 Tbyte disks in a RAID5, and LVM structures on that. Now I've moved those 5 disks onto a CentOS5 machine and the RAID array is being rebuilt. However the LVM structures weren't detected at boot time. I was able to "vgscan" and 'vgchange -a y' to bring the volume online and then

When I install some RPMS like openoffice 3 on centos x85_64 is there some command that will leave all the actual files alone (leave them installed) but just remove the RPM name from the RPM database so centos now things the packages are not installed? Reason is I was wanting to do this so a next yum update does not get all confused... and the yum update happens just like I never installed

Here's the situation. I have a dual boot machine - originally had Red Hat and Windows 2000 Pro. The NTFS partition never did seem to 'get along' with the Adaptec 2400A caching RAID controller. Linux always seemed to like the I2O drivers. I went from RH Enterprise to now running Centos 5.5. Works great! I really don't want the 200 gigs worth of NTFS. Can't I just run

I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68. My system is otherwise up-to-date. -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ --

I am wondering about updating the version of Spam Assassin on my CentOS 5 mail server. The current version, 3.3.1-4.el5 (stock RHEL version), has been 'leaking' recently. I suspect I need some newer match rules to detect some of the newer flavors of spam. I see that in rpmforge's extras repo is version 3.3.2-4.el5.rfx -- is this version worth installing? Are there even newer versions

How can I tell wich HDD to swap, when the "cat /proc/mdstat" says one HDD of the RAID1 array has died? Does the HDD's has some serial numbers, that I can see in "reality", and I can get that number from e.g.: a commands output? How could I know wich HDD to swap in e.g.: a RAID1 array? thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not seem to be on the DVD. *I* really, really, prefer Lilo over Grub. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

Hi, every lvm command gives one line with: /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found I looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431901 and changed filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|", "a/.*/" ] then deleted cache /etc/lvm/cache/.cache This seems to help, but after a while the message reappears. Is there a way to get rid of it, because

What does this error mean?

I have two computers: both running CentOS 6.7, 64-bit, with kernel 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64. One is a laptop with an 2 core Intel processor and the other is a desktop machine with a 4 core AMD processor. Both with selinux enabled. I have a USB serial port device (a RR-CirKits LCC-Buffer USB). On the desktop I am getting this error: sauron.deepsoft.com% sudo minicom Device /dev/ttyACM0

I have to reinit a firewall that can only be done from its console port, and I do not have an XP system with Hyperterminal on it. So I went through the archive and learned that minicom could do the job for me. I installed it and went to configure it (minicom -s). I can set the speeds, but the challenge is selecting the serial device. I have a Serial-to-USB dongle, and when I connect it,

OK, I wanted to replace the 500G disks in a Dell T20 server with new 2TB disks. The machine has 4 SATA ports, one used for the optical disk and three for the hard drives. It is set up with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with each three partitions: 1 -- VFAT (for EFI) 2 -- ext4 (for /boot) 3 -- LVM /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are a mirror raid (/dev/md0) /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 are a mirror raid

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 All, I have a server that is running nicely, except I have hit the maximum RAM (4gb) and I wish to add more. It is an ASUS board, AMD X64 dual core, nvidia nic. What I want going to move to is a dell board, Intel Pentium M dual code, which supports 8gb of RAM. Can I just unplug the HD and move it to the new server and boot it up? I assume that the NIC will need to be re-setup, but what
