I just noticed this, which doesn't actually seem to affect anything but does create a mystery: [frankcox at mutt temp]$ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("Hello world\n"); return 0; } [frankcox at mutt temp]$ gcc -o test test.c [frankcox at mutt temp]$ file test test: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared

Using gnome-terminal and the like, you can set the font size that you want and then if you drag the window larger or smaller, you get more or less character per line. Is there a terminal that allows you to set the rows and columns that you want and then resizes the text instead? gnome-terminal has a zoom-in and zoom-out function that's close to what I want but it's not

This webpage tells me that you can set the thumbnail cache size using gconf-editor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1481182 However, the gconf-editor that I have on Centos 5.5 doesn't have that setting. Is it not possible to set this value with Centos 5.5? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!

I have two computers, one with a HP printer on it and one with a Samsung printer on it. Both systems have their respective pritnters listed under system-config-printer and have "enabled" "accepting jobs" and "shared" checked. Up to a few days ago this worked fine. Suddenly I can't see either printer from the other machine and as far as I know nothing has

The Clearlooks and Bluecurve icon directories that were provided under Centos 5 that have disappeared on Centos 6. Clearlooks icons were provided by gnome-themes-2.16.0-1.fc6 and has disappeared with gnome-themes-2.28.1-6.el6.noarch, and Bluecurve icons were provided by redhat-artwork-5.1.0-28.el5.centos, which doesn't appear to exist at all with Centos 6. Were these icons removed for a

A window keeps popping up on my remote desktop stating "authentication is required to set the network proxy used for downloading packages. An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication as the super user is required to perform this action" and asking for the root password. If I hit cancel it comes back several minutes later. I've found

During today's big Centos 6 update I lost my connection to a machine during the "yum update" and when I logged back in and ran yum update again it told me to run yum-complete-transaction. When I ran yum-complete-transaction I got screen after screen of "x is a duplicate with x" where x consists of a huge list of packages. "package-cleanup --dupes" gives me a

Looking at some of the stuff in /etc/logrotate.d, I see entries like this in some of the configuration files: postrotate /sbin/service privoxy reload 2> /dev/null || true >From the commandline, that doesn't work: # /sbin/service privoxy reload 2> /dev/null || true Usage: /etc/init.d/privoxy {start|stop|restart} Changing reload to restart does work: ]# /sbin/service privoxy

I installed Centos 6.2/i386 on a machine last night with a 1920x1080 monitor. The installer ran in graphical mode and looked fine. After the install was finished I rebooted and ran through the "firstboot" stuff (set up user, etc) with no problem and, again, it looked good. After that, when I should have seen the gdm login screen, all I got was the blue background but not the box with

I just installed gnome-devel-docs with the objective of having a local copy of the gnome hig-book and now that I have it installed I don't know how to use it. I had assumed that it would show up in devhelp but it doesn't. What I have is a bunch of XML files in /usr/share/gnome/help/hig-book/C, and when I try to view one with firefox it tells me "This XML file does not appear to have

Do we know if this bug affects Centos? http://www.techworld.com.au/article/413300/linux_vendors_rush_patch_privilege_escalation_flaw_after_root_exploits_emerge The article states that it affects kernel 2.6.39 and above, but since RH backports so much stuff I'm not sure if this would actually include the Centos kernels. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~

Has anyone else had this problem? I tried it as a brand new username and it happens every time. Add to panel - System Monitor System Monitor shows up in the panel bar for a split second as a black box, then crashes with the following message: Package: gnome-applets-2.28.0-7.el6 Latest Crash: Mon 11 Jul 2011 03:52:52 PM Command: '' '' '' '' ''

Gimp on Centos 5 has somehow lost its ability to load a pdf file on three (i386) different computers. I'm pretty sure that this used to work. When I try to load a PDF file I get the initial box titled "Load Postscript" with rendering and antialiasing options, but when I hit OK I get an error message: Opening "filename" failed: Plug-In could not open image."

I notice that the smartd service is not running by default on a new installation. But palimpsest seems to get updated statistics every so often as when I check the statistics on a drive it says "last updated" some number of minutes ago. So if smartd isn't running, where does palimpsest get its information from and what is updating it? Second question, what would enabling the smartd

I have both totem-nautilus and the assorted gstreamer-plugins installed for playing mp3 files through Totem. I note that Totem doesn't appear to know the duration of an mp3. For example, if I right-click on a wav or ogg file and click on the audio tab, one of the fields is Duration and it tells me how long that file will play. If I do the same with a mp3 file the duration field is always 0

I have a ncurses-based program that runs on a vnc desktop on a remote computer. On Centos 5 you could enter numbers into the program using the numeric keypad. I just installed a new machine running Centos 6 to do this same job and now numbers can only be entered using the numbers across the top of the keyboard. The program still recognizes the keys on the keypad when numlock is not set (so you

Is there a way to force file permissions by directory (and subdirectories under it)?
