similar to: Fwd: Nautilus does not open files with the correct app - SOLVED

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

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]#

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 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 decided to go ahead and remove totem (don't much care for it anyway), and when I double-click a sound file in nautilus, it runs mplayer to play the file, but I also get an error window (from mplayer) that says "[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" but it is playing the sound file just fine. I can close the error window and everything

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

Yesterday I found a need to have the NTFS module support in my CentOS 5.0 at home, so I happily installed the 8.1.4 source, prepped it (after deleting the rhel and olpc lines per Johnny's notice earlier in this list), made the config with a ".nx" version name using make menuconfig (copying the config from the SOURCES directory, editing it to include the # x86_64 line and copying it

Not at all clear on what happened. I haven't downloaded my mail from gmail into Evolution for a couple of days, and today I changed my gmail password. Even though I told Evolution to forget my passwords and had to reenter them, I am unable to receive any email from the server. I get a quick "retrieving Pop summary" and then the window vanishes and nothing gets downloaded. When I

In the process of doing something else, I happened to open the Network Servers window from the Places applet menu. When I did, it killed all my Nautilus windows on all my workspaces. (I had to experiment a little to prove this, but it did happen.) Is there an explanation for this and what? Thanks. mhr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 would like to be able to make an audio CD directly from some mp3 files I have. I know that isn't the best way due to the lossy nature of the MP3 format, but that's ok for this purpose. K3b is supposed to be able to do this, but I got an unsupported file type error when I tried this. I installed the python-mad decoder that is listed in the k3b document, but I don't see how to get

I had to reboot my work machine today, and it came up in text mode (!). I did an init 5, but that had no effect (wrong command?). I killed the three gdm processes, and voila, X server mode. Where do I look to find out what is not right here?

I could swear that this was working just last week, but now when I run the Adobe Acrobat reader, it hangs. If I run it "directly" (/usr/bin/acroread) with -DEBUG as the first argument, I get an infinite loop of: expr: syntax error I tried removing and reinstalling it, but no change. Any ideas? -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso

I've asked a similar question before, but this is slightly different - is there a reasonably good, cheap all-in-one scanner-copier-printer-fax device that works well with Linux, CentOS in particular? (Last time I asked about a scanner only, although it was in the context of a Canon MP160, which I never did get to work and wound up taking back.) Thanks. mhr -------------- next part
