Hi! this is surely a newbie question, so I should know the answer, but I'm fighting with mounting a CD such that filenames are NOT mapped to lowercase (I need to use its on-board tools for accessing files on it while mounted on Centos 6.5, and those tools assume uppercawse, since they assume the entire world runs Windoze.) but despite my best efforts, it keeps being mounted with UC-LC

Hello, This is user MichaelConvey. I would like to add a section under TipsAndTricks/Filesystem Tips called "Configuring Automount in Gnome for USB Drives". The content will include something like the following: 1) yum install gconf-editor 2) In gnome, go to Applications/System Tools/Configuration Editor 3) In the graphical editor, in the left window, go to

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source

It's a Chimera Desktop 2014. More specifically, I bought the case, the motherboard, the CPU, the RAM and the graphics card from another poster for the price of postage.

I have a USB key that when inserted into a port on my CentOS-6.5 system maounts as this: /dev/sdb1 /media/22d773e3-8502-4196-b45f-388380dcee48 ext2 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0 What is the mechanism to give this thing a more human usable mount name / volume name? Mounting this USB key with what I guess is a UUID in place of a name was not always the case. My sense is that the change in

i'm experimenting with some basic removable media mounting exercises for an upcoming class, and i read that, while you can use gconf-editor to change some of the mount options in cases like that, there is no way to override the mount options of nodev, noexec and nosuid. for example, that claim is made here (admittedly for fedora, but it appears to be true for centos as well):

Can anyone tell me when the udisks, python-pexpect, and pyxdg packages in EPEL will be updated so I can install yumex under CentOS 7?

Hello there, since I installed CentOS6 few months ago (kept up-to-date using yum), I'm facing very poor performances when writing to USB pendrives. The hardware: a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (Intel Core Duo P8600 @2.40Ghz), 4Go RAM + 4Go swap, several USB2 pendrives of various brands (less than old, all formatted as vfat). When I perform a copy (with cp or midnight commander, copying big

Hello I am using 64 bit CentOS 6.4 on an i7 laptop with one sata drive and a CD drive. I installed CentOS by manually partitioning sda as: sda1 as /boot, sda2 as swap, sda3 as /. The booted system works great. When I insert an external USB drive, formatted as ext3, the hard drive on the laptop and the USB drive are either sda or sdb, depending upon the order on which I insert the USB drive

Fedora 10 ships with compiz and launches it as: compiz --ignore-desktop-hints glib gconf This causes compiz to load the glib and gconf plugins at startup. This works fine. The problem arises when the gconf database does not include those plugins in /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins. What happens is that the plugins get loaded at startup, and after all the

Hello there, w/ my CentOS6 (up-to-date), running GNOME, I'm struggling with HAL and mount options for my USB storage devices. According to what I'm reading from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/hal.html My old policies in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ are ignored (and this is true!). Apparently I should edit my custom mount options through gconf-editor (in

Hello, The question below is based on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-users/2012- August/004509.html Thanks in advance for any help with the following question, including pointing me to some other info resource if needed.
