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

Hi, I've been trying to install Zimbra Desktop 7 on CentOS 5.5 using the usual perl script provided. The issue is, I get a warning that my system does not have ia32 libs. I dug a bit on google and found out that 'there is no such package as ia32 libs for Centos'. I also tried all the suggested work arounds like glibc & stuff, can anyone shed more light on this? Oh, the zimbra

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

Hi, and a Happy New Year to everyone. I have followed this tutorial to install icecast on Centos 5.5, http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2 but cannot find the ices package for sending the audio to icecast for it to stream.

I mentioned here the other day that I was planning to set up a Centos 6 system using a SSD for the system drive and a regular hard drive for a data drive. My plan is to have everything that doesn't change (much) on the SSD, such as /boot, /lib, /bin and so on. I want to put /tmp and /var and /home on the regular hard drive. Now that I'm at the stage of actually setting this up I have

I'm using the default desktop for CentOS 6. My screensaver is set for blank, 5 min, no locking. In the seconds during which the screen fades to black, I cannot make it come back.
