I've been having an odd problem lately. When I drag files from the computer to a flash drive, they appear to copy, but when I try to use the files I find that only the name was copied (file size of 0). When I copy the same files to the same flash drive, from the terminal, everything seems to work. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? It's starting to get a little frustrating.

VirtualBox works great but, since I only really use one Windows program (an older, specialized word processor called Movie Magic Screenwriter), I'm thinking of using Wine to run it in CentOS and getting rid of the Windows virtual machine. But a couple questions: 1) If I run Wine, do I introduce security or performance issues? 2) Is there any difference between Michael Harris' Wine

Hi, I'm trying to run Celtx (a screenplay formatter) in CentOS 5.3 from the shell. If I run celtx-bin I get the following error: ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I run celtx I get ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

A few weeks ago I asked about firewalls and family filters. Lanny Marcus, I believe, suggested OpenDNS. Just wanted to thank him (and everyone here) for their suggestions. Eventually I would like to learn about firewalls, but I don't really want to run another machine at this time. OpenDNS is trivial to set up on the router and looks to be just about exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Sorry to

Evening all: Redid my home box using VectorLinux (Slackware variation) and now I'm not sure which game trail to follow to reinstall R. Could somebody with more knowledge in this share their thoughts off-list. Just need a pointer to the appropriate trail head. I can take it from there.

Hi! I wanted to install Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows but the installation does not even start. I have wine-20050930-1fc3winehq.i686 on my system, FC3/x86-64. The installation directory seems strange on the very first window, every backslash character is painted as a strike-through upcase letter W. Browsing for another directory or typing the directory manually gives the same problem.

My desktop updated without a hitch... well, actually, I ran out of disk space after the download completed, so had to clear some space, but the update process continued from where I left off without a hitch -- and that's hardly CentOS's fault. I've still got to update my laptop, but am a little leery, because I think I've a got a hard drive failing. At any rate, thank you *again*

I set up a CentOS desktop computer for my brother and his kids. When Firefox 3.5 came out he decided to download and install it like he would Windows (he doesn't yet understand the repository system). He's been telling me that it works fine, even though I was skeptical due to my experience with Firefox 3.5 on CentOS 5.3. Then today, he says, "Oh, by the way, the CentOS computer has

In my old computer I have a much bigger hard drive then in this one -- and I plan to hand that old computer down to one of my sons -- keeping his current drive from an even older computer. Currently the hard drive on my old computer has SuSE Linux, but that will go. I'll rebuild CentOS 5.5 on it, but I want to leave some free space for whatever comes up and also dual-boot Vector Linux. Which,

Dear wine user group I removed the whole installation under the root path and reinstalled the application to the user directory -thanks to mr. vitamin.

Hi, I just upgraded to the newest kernel and Flash. Hulu now "grays out" when I try to go to full screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the proprietary video drivers (no difference either way), so I'm guessing it has something to do with either the new Flash or the new kernel. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks for any pointers. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5

I am using an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe which is a motherboard that has been tested with Asterisk. I am unsure about the PCI slot and IRQ settings in the BIOS and am having problems with a WCFXO card sharing with other devices. Any suggestions on the settings required for Asterisk to avoid IRQ conflicts? Thanks :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

hi wine user group I try to run a model aircraft simulator (aerofly professional deluxe) with wine. the installation was a success. after that, I can start the simulator but it doesn't identify the usb game commander (at least a 4 channel usb device). but the kde desktop control center detect the right device IPACS Ikarus Gamecommander (/dev/input/js1). how I get support for this device

Hi, I have a hosting account with godaddy.com and I guess after asking about RoR, it''s now installed on both the Deluxe and Premium shared plans. Now, it seems that I don''t have command line access (i.e ssh). Thus, I was wondering, how does one check to see what gems are installed and how can I add other gems? Is it possible to add gems and plugins to the local project and

I'm about to build a server. I want to use a P4, and have lotsa RAM, I don't need audio, I do want to do RAID, but I'll do software RAID if hw isn't available for IDE. the RH hardware list seems rather woefully out of date, does anyone have any recommendations for a good motherboard guaranteed to work? I'm looking at ASUS P4P800-E-deluxe which has a driver on the ASUS site
