HI I admit up front that I know just enough about wireless networking to know that I don't know much at all about it. That said, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit... Specifically, could a laptop running Centos 5.1 be expected to (be able to) connect to a wireless access point using WPA2 security settings? I don't know if WPA depends on hardware support, or if

I just did (the other day) a clean install of Centos 5 and am having a really weird problem that I never had before (on centos 4.5). when listening to nrk p2 (http://www.nrk.no/p2/) using Firefox, and when the small window for the player gets obscured by another window the sound stops playing. Move the obscuring window and it starts right up. I haven't yet been able to tell if it is paused,

Hi gang! I'm using Centos 4.4 at work on a HP Proliant DL320 G2, which has a Hypterthreaded Pentium IV CPU. I used to use RHEL WS 2.1 on it, and RH installed and used the SMP kernel. Centos 4.4 did NOT install the SMP kernel. Is there some reason why I should NOT install it myself? I.e., some reason why an SMP kernel shouldn't be used on such a machine? Gracias! -- ---- Fred Smith --

Hi! on centos 4.4 (fresh install) I've got a problem with CUPS disabling a print queue between jobs. Sometimes it will print dozens of jobs before disabling the queue, sometimes it will do it after every job. This is a networked HP Laserjet printer at work. At home on a 4.4 box (upgraded from 4.3) with a local (parallel port) printer I've not seen this problem occur. (of course, I

Hi gang I just did a really stupid thing... I did fdisk and removed the ext3 partition on my 500GB external USB drive, thinking I was working on a usb stick instead. ugh. then I did 'mkdosfs' on it. ugh ugh. Before messing with it any more at all, what good ideas can you all suggest for trying to get my data back? Please don't tell me it's all gone (though I"m afraid it

Hi all! My thanks to the Centos team for continuing to slave away on C6 even with all the distractions!!! Just did a test install on my eeepc 901 (on an external drive, til I'm comfortable with it) and find that it doesn't seem to know how to talk to the ralink 2860 wireless chipset. A few months back I did a test install of Scientific Linux 6 and as I recall it (I may be

I'm running Centos 6.5 on a software RAID-1 pair. I originally installed it following one of the howtos from the Centos WIKI for Centos 5. My first installation was on 5.x, then when I moved to 6.x I found that Anaconda worked enough like the one in 5.x that I could easily adapt the procedure. however, the new Anaconda is nothing like the old one, so I doubt the procedure could be made to

I just encountered an oddity... it may have been this way for millennia :) but somehow I've never noticed it before... say I'm using X (which is pretty normal these days) and I have VLC playing a "radio" station. I do CTRL-ALT-Fx to switch to a text console THAT HAS NO ONE LOGGED IN on it, and voila: no sound! as soon as I log in, the audio returns. what gives here? --

Hi all! On a Centos 6.6 system, I've got a "trash" icon on the desktop that indicates there is trash. but when I open the trash can it's empty. how can I reset that flag, where/whatever it is? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

I have used tcpdump to capture the data packets and found that after the ssl handshake, the client side reset the tcp connection. Is there any method to pinpoint the culprit who drops the tcp connection?

I've just done a little "study" (well, nothing quite that pretentious) of the traffic hitting my router, that gets DROPped the router's firewall. there is a surprisingly (to me, at least) enormous amount of it. over about the last 3 weeks, it has dropped over 65,000 connection attempts. I finally got around to figuring out how to have the router's logging mechanism connect

Hi all! In the last day or two (on Centos 7)the speaker icon in the Mate top panel, which normally drops down to a volume control, has stopped working. what does "stopped working" mean? It means when I drop down the volume slider and slide it, it makes no difference at all in the output volume. if I right-click that icon, it'll open up "Sound Preferences", which appears

Has anyone gotten 64-bit google earth to run on el6 x86_64? It dies almost immediately, complaining for lack of ld-lsb.so.3. Perusing user forums at google I see a few others with the problem, but no (working) solutions.
