I know I'm slightly OT here, asking about RHEL, but since Centos is now a part of RH, I'm hoping I won't be summarily ejected. I've seen several articles that listed Centos 6.x as vulnerable, but DID NOT LIST RHEL 6. I'd think that if Centos 6.x is vulnerable, then so would RHEL 6.x, since Centos is made from RHEL sources. Does anyone know for sure either way? thanks! --

Hi! Just did a TEST install of centos5 on an old PIII box. one of the things I wanted to see was the fancy desktop eye-candy of compiz and/or beryl. This box has a nvidia 6600 series card, and I've isntalled the Nvidia drivers (download from nvidia and run their installer). I used the software updater to install compiz (didn't show up on original install, perhaps I didn't hold my

Hi! Just installed Centos 5 (I've been running 4.x which was an upgrade from previous versions, for a long time), but this one was a fresh install. Now Gnome gives me the two panel configuration (one at top, one at bottom) but I prefer the single, larger panel at the bottom. Anyone know how to tweak Gnome to revert to the single-panel form? Thanx! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at

Has anyone here tried the new Tesseract OCR engine that google has recently released? I gave it a whirl last night. IT compiles more or less fine on Centos 4.4 if you don't mind lots of warnings. Took a scanned image I already had that contained a column of newspaper text, GIMP'ed it to cut everything but the text, increased contrast to get rid of grayish background, saved as

Hi! I'm using the ntfs-3g module for my portable USB hard drive on Centos 5.4. When I plug it into my centos box it mounts fine, but its owned by root and nobody but root has permission to write to it. I've been perusing the ntfs-3g and fuse man pages (and other docs) and they all seem to say that the default settings should be to allow RW access to everyone. but that isn't what

I haven't heard anything more about the centos tee shirts KB mentioned a few weeks ago.

Hi all! This isn't anything like urgent, or ultimately even particularly important, but I find it a curious oddity and thought to in quire if any of you have thoughts on it... On my Centos 6.5 box, I have a PATA CDRW drive, and a SATA dvd drive. when playing a CD in the CDRW drive, every short while I get a sudden break in the audio while the CD is spun up. when playing the same CD in the

Hi all! I was playing with plymouth themes on a c7 box. I found a page on redhat, in their rhel7 documentation that describes how to change to a different plymouth screen: plymouth-set-default-theme --list to find out what themes are installed. then I installed the remaining bunch the yum had available. so then installing one by doing plymouth-set-default-theme <theme name> dracut -f

Hi all! I just (well, a few days ago) installed C7 on a new-to-me (used) laptop, and notice something I've not noticed before, either on my personal desktop, or other C7 machines I use: every time I log in, it gives me a message something like "last failed login <timestamp>", where the date and time it gives are RIGHT NOW, just at the time I'm logging in (which succeeds).

Just did an in-place update from 6.1 to 6.2 on my eeepc 901 (Atom CPU). during boot, (if I hit ESC to see the boot messages) it says "starging udev" then nothing else for a few seconds, then a huge register dump scrolls by. it's too big to see the beginning of it. If I boot from the prior kernel and look in /var/log/messages, I don't see any evidence of the failed boot.

I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5. Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate board happens to be intel-compatible. However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly into bed with

Hi all! Using the default Gnome desktop on Centos-6, I keep having difficulty getting the mouse pointer to lineup exactly on the edge/corner of a window when I want to resize the window. It seems that you have to have it on a line exactly one pixel in width, and I'm finding it increasingly hard to do (who, me? getting old? nah!) Wondering if there is a gnome setting somewhere among the
