I had to reinstall C5 64-bit out-of-box on two machines. Before the reinstall, Matlab 2007a 64-bit worked fine. Now, I get "failed to start the desktop; failure loading desktop class". matlab -nojvm works fine. The reinstall was not an upgrade. I tested on two identical systems - one before I installed the NVIDIA drivers, and one after. No difference. I installed jre and jdk

At this point in my lab, the only solid servers I have are Win2000. So I xcopy the distro CDs into a directory that I make available for install via ftp. Well I have had problems copying files from this distro. I had to use the /c option in xcopy to get past the problem files.. A few examples are: The following files in the image directory of disk 1 has 'File creation error - The

I have C5 64-bit running on my laptop and am trying to get k3b 1.0.3 compiled from source. It keeps complaining about qt not being installed or available. I performed a yum install of everything qt, but it still complains. I've read some postings on various web pages about creating symlinks, but although tried, that still didn't fix any problems. What am I missing? Thhanks. Scott

I love Centos. Have in on my data centre servers, my home servers, my laptop and my netbook. Yes there are serious and continuing security concerns relating to Gnome and KDE but they are not Centos. Currently running 5.6 and would like a two set DVD of that version. However none of the mirrors offer pure DVDs only Torrent versions which involve the possibility of bits being tampered with and

Hello Group, I am trying to build one VMware VM for 5.7 centos. However, there are two DVDs. And all vms I have build so far are confined in one iso. How could I build complete 5.7 centos VM with two different Centos DVDs. I am sure somebody out there must have built one such OS. Please guild. thanks. nagrik

I have a Centos 5 64-bit server that has ntp service enabled. Windows XP with SP2 cannot properly sync to it for time, but can communicate with it via samba, ssh, and anything else. I also disabled the Windows Firewall. The C5 system does not have any firewall enabled. Other C5 workstations can successfully sync to it via ntpdate. What else could cause the XP machine to not be able to

I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with 64-bit Centos 5, fully updated, with an on-board Broadcom 57xx gigabit Ethernet controller, updated BIOS, 1 GB switch, and /var/log/messages and dmesg both claim the link is 100 Mb, not 1 GB. I tried setting eth0 to mtu 9000 but got an error in going so. What do I need to do to have the card see 1 gb? Thanks. Scott

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

Hi all, Probably a simple question, but, I'd like to merge both install DVDs into one directory on my PXE server. Obviously I will need to copy all of the files, but do I need to cast a magical incantation to recreate .discinfo, .treeinfo, etc?

I'm trying to install the latest version of putty GUI ssh client on my C5 box, but get the error: ./configure: line 2353: syntax error near unexpected token '1.2.0,' ./configure: "AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0, all_targets="all-cli all-gtk", all_targets="all-cli)' What am I missing? I thought I had GTK fully installed. Maybe I don't? I tried a yum install

I have a user with C5.4 64-bit, fully updated, performed a yum install glade, it claimed to have installed everything, but we cannot get it to run. Neither whereis nor locate revleal an executable. We obtained the latest glade source from the project's web site, attempted to configure it, until it complained of needed dependencies, namely gtk+ (newer than what was on the system). So I got

I have a couple of DVD drives (one drive, one burner) that used to play DVDs quite fine from 5.3 to somewhere in the 6.x branch. Nowadays I have to send them to PIO4 to play DVDs, because they'll just throw DMA not aligned errors around in UDMA33 or WDMA2 mode. Should someone be interested in this I'm willing to supply all necessary information, such as the exact drives, firmware

Hi, I decided to try Theora and encoded a PAL DVD. I was very pleased with the result. It's better than "DiVX" for the same bitrate, I think, and the audio is clearly superior to MP3 audio. However, I'm having serious troubles encoding NTSC DVDs and getting the video and audio durations to match. I read some messages on this list about such problems and so what I am doing

hello, the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst I know how to fix that. Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot? Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5 to boot :) -- Mark New Packages for C5 ---------

Hi, Sorry for the newbie question, I've been searching the CentOS site and googled, but I couldn't find an answer (probably my bad). I want to install CentOS 4.5, but I'm having troubles with my CD reader. How can I install it from an FTP server ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards -- :wq! M?rio Gamito

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m

My backup script split filesystem dumps to files with size of 4,37 GB (4 588 544 kB). It's just an optimal size to fill out DVDs. At this moment I have to burn them from windows via smb-link becuase I didn't manage to do this task from FreeBSD console due to 2GB/4GB filesize restrictions (growisofs). I'm using freeware CDBurnerXP to burn my backups (ISO9660/UDF/Joliet), and they

Hi all, I'd like to try rolling a somewhat stripped down and customized CentOS DVD. This is particularly interesting to me now that CentOS 5.5 is 2 DVDs. I dare not call it a new distro as I suspect I will be the only one to use it. ;) I've been googling for ways to do this, figuring it must be somewhat straight forward, but my google-fu is weak it seems. Can someone point me

Hi, Sorry if this is only half-CentOS-related. In my office, I'm running CentOS on all my systems (server, workstation, laptop, sandbox PCs). A colleague brought me her MacBook Pro to upgrade it from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.11.6. I downloaded the 5.8 GB dmg file and now I wonder how to create a bootable DVD with this using only Linux tools. 1. Can I simply burn this as a data DVD with K3B? 2.

Hey guys, Thanks a lot for the CentOS 6 distro. I am having trouble burning the i386 dvds. I tried on a RHEL 6 deskop and also a CentOS 5 laptop. The command I am running on both systems is this: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0=/home/gsgatlin/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso The error I am seeing is: :-( /dev/sr0: 2295104 blocks are free, 2297586 to be written!
