My apologies for this because it is, technically, OT, but it is a classic example of what rotten support Linux (and CentOS) get in the US from equipment manufacturers. The whole email is a lie because they DO have the drivers on their asia site, they just don't want us 'Murkins to get our hands on them. Or maybe it's part of some clever little nuance of their agreement with Micro$oft

Has anyone gotten centos 4 to print on an officejet 7310? I have tried jetdirect with pcl and postcript no go... I have tried smb but it does seem to be browsable as its not listed and when I specify I enter the IP address for server and I dont know what the share is. Windows XP connects and prints fine. THanks, Jerry

I'm trying to share my HP 5610 on my Samba (3.0.24-1 fc6 x86_64) machine and am running into a typical HP related SANFU. The XP drivers supplied only install through the installation program. (ie. I can't use device manager to point XP to the driver and install it) So I installed the printer on my XP machine, used the installation program to install the drivers and then shared the

I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly. I tried the method described at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen - no new kernel, now initrd, nothing. When I tried following the directions in the

For some reason, when I try to print any graphic PDF (or a PS file made from said graphic), it kills my Minolta 1100 laser printer, and I have to cancel the job, disable the printer and turn the printer off and on as many times as it takes to clear its buffer of the trash. I'm running CentOS 5.0 and have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for Linux; I have also tried printing the pdf to a file

I have a modem in my system that comes up with this in lspci: 01:07.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem (rev 01) What programs under CentOS, if any, can use this modem and how?

Earlier this evening, I had the interesting experience of shutting down my machine (because of that lp out-of-sync problem, discussed elsewhere), and watching it not come back up. I admit that I changed out one of my DVD writers for another one, but I don't understand how that could have had any effect on this: When I restarted the machine, it came up to the point where it normally shows:

I installed the kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm today and went to build it, but it fails with this error: $ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec Building target platforms: x86_64 Building for target x86_64 error: Failed build dependencies: unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64 I double checked and this appears to be the latest kernel source rpm on centos/5.0/os/SRPMS.

I know this is a little off topic (not as usual, dammit!), but I figure at least one of y'all can handle this one. I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing with the VMWare Windows that runs on it. However, no matter what I've done so far, I can't get the Windows to recognize this machine as a legitimate network destination. Here's my samba

For reasons which escape me, my VMWare Server, which was working perfectly a week ago when I shut down my machine for vacation, no loner comes up with the formerly working Windows XP system - it just stays in the small window where it normally boots and does nothing. The vmware serverd log shows nothing particularly interesting, and I have reconfigured the vmware twice to try and fix this (which

Has anyone with an nvidia video card had issues with CentOS 5 so far? I've been holding off on installing 5 at home because of the trouble I've been having with my video here at work, but here I have that lovely ATI card and there I have a geFORCE 7100gs and am, so far, successfully using the nvidia driver with CentOS 4.4 without significant problems. Just wondering.... -- Mark

As usual, virtually every printer on the market comes with Windows, and sometimes Mac OS, drivers for the printers, but they almost never come with Unix/Linux drivers. This time Google was not my friend. I got a pointer to a drivr, dommon<something>mp160.ppd that doesn't appear to exist anywhere on the web, and there are two driver files from Canon Asia that want a lot of i386

Actually, here is what shows up in the log, regardless of whether the driver is built-in or loaded as a module: Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0 Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 0 Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1

I wrote a bunch of files to a backup DVD about two months ago and now neither of my drives will read it. I get mount errors from "not a directory" to something like "unrecognized file system type" and so on, usually after a really long wait and a notice about how the drive is write-protected (duh). Here's what happened most recently: # mount /dev/hdc /mnt mount: block

I have AT&T (formerly SBC) DSL for my primary internet connection here, and tonight it has been exceptionally, extraordinarily S - L - O - W.... Pages that normally load in, at most, seconds, are taking several minutes to locate, even common, frequent access pages like Google, Gmail, etc. I called AT&T, of course, and all they know about is IE, which, as you can probably guess, I rarely

1) I'm actually not building a custom kernel per se, just one from the standard 2.6.11.4 with our configuration. I may be adding a custom driver, but unless I can get the standard kernel to boot,... 2) I have been told that after 2.6.11.4, support for the Infiniband driver is dropped, and we need that. If this is not the case, I would be delighted to know that and proceed accordingly.

I know that 5 isn't quite out yet, but I'm wondering how soon after 5 will 5 Plus be available? Thanks. mhr

In the last few days, I have noticed a drastic slowdown in my VMware Windows guest OS.. I recently bit the bullet and upgraded it from XP SP1 to SP2, and that seemed to work fine for quite a few days. The two major changes I made to the system recently were: 1) The most recent update from CentOS (can't remember which one, but it was within the last two weekd for 5.0). 2) Adding another VM

I am currently running a Windows XP system at home with around 100+ Mb in use over ~400Mb of NTFS file systems. I am installing CentOS 4.4 on it when I change out the mobo/cpu/mem/video combo I just bought. I want to convert all the file systems to (probably) Reiserfs or maybe ext3, but I need to do them one at a time because I only have enough transfer space to accommodate the largest one, or

This might be a gnome problem, but.... I've noticed that, on occasion (frequently), when I try to look at or modify my display configuration, the Applications->System Settings->Display doesn't come up. It asks for the root password, which I give it, and then nothing. I ran system-config-display form the command line, but it dies thus: [root at mhullrichter mhr]#
