similar to: CentOS 6: wpa_supplicant, unexpected behavior

I have a page where I document getting the increasingly popular AR5007EG Atheros wireless card working. (This is the card used in the Asus EEE PC). The current article covers several distributions, but would be modified to just cover CentOS. It does, however, involve getting third party software, as the rpmforge repos don't have the necessary drivers. (Apparently, it's a bit of a

I'm in yum dependency hell using epel, rpmforge and rpmfusion repos to install vlc on 32 bit Centos 5.5. Anyone have a better idea? Doesn't really have to be vlc I just want to be able to play a dvd and Movie Player complains about missing plugins without saying what they are.

I tried to install Google Chrome and received the dependencies error. Is Centos too old for the new Chrome or is there an older Chrome version that is compatible? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Hi Please create a page on the wiki for a HowTo with the subject: "How to back up a running KVM guest" This will explain how to use LVM to take a snaphot of a KVM guest's virtual hard drive and rsync it to a remote backup server. I have a prototype running but there are still many issues to be resolved affecting performance, security, reliability, automation. I intend to

With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo

Thank you There's not much to it. It's the remote desktop protocol that you use to access Windows servers. On Windows you open port 3387 or allow RDP in some other way. (I do almost no Windows, so I

Hi, Something which bothered me a few times in the past, the SyntaxReference link when you are editing a page points to: centoswiki/SyntaxReference That page did not exist, luckily it suggested the real location: SyntaxReference so it was not a real problem. But it may confuse other people in the future. So what I did for now was created the non-existing page and redirected it to

Hello, Is there any command / option available on CentOS to expire a user's password immediately ? I remember using "passwd -e" on some other distribution but the -e option does not seem to be present on CentOS 5.x. Thanks, Manish

I'm trying to update a workstation, and it wants to update mpeg2-utils. But that has a dependency of libmpeg2-0.5.1-3, for i386. epel doesn't have it, and I tried looking on rpmfusion.org, and I can only find a very few packages there. Anyone have an idea which of the regular repositories carries libmpeg2? mark

Has anyone installed CentOS-6 from the hard disk? I just tried this without success. I should say that I asked the question before about CentOS-5.6, and while I got many suggestions in reply, no-one actually said that they _had_ installed CentOS this way. What I did was to "mount -o loop" the DVD iso (which I checksum-ed) and copy isolinux/vmlinuz and isolinux/initrd.img , as well as

Hi all, I hope there is someone in Japan. If we install Centos in Japanese, and then I ssh to it from an English client. Will the SSH prompt be in Japanese? How to make the SSH prompt in Japanese? Thank you. -- Fajar.

I have just done a minimal installation of Centos7 followed by X Windows and the Mate desktop on a workstation. Although the default language is English, I would like to be able to write Chinese text in various applications. I seem to remember this was very easy to do in Centos 6 and Gnome: possibly only requiring only a simple 'yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"' after which I

Hi All, I setup Fetchmail and wanted to use Mutt to read e-mail. I used to use Pine and I just am sick of GUI e-mail clients these days. Bloat, complication and unreliable.
