Hello All, the update to Centos6.6 got interrupted on a laptop. I then did this: package-cleanup --cleandupes yum-complete-transaction and remove and reinstall the latest kernel.

Hello, when I log in through ssh to a remote site and open the web interface from a ( new ) printer using Lynx, it only displays : FRAME: wlmframe I suspect this is some unfriendly coding, that will cost me time in opening Firefox instead of Lynx or w3m.

Hi everyone, I was playing around with xul + prototype, and everything seemed to be going well until I ran into a wall - there seems to be some problem I can''t explain with Function.prototype.bind, for instance when I run this code: try { new Ajax.Request("http://localhost:3000/search/hello", { onComplete: this.onHelloComplete.bind(this) }); } catch

Dear all, I have a question regarding 2 network card setup, when e.g. using dhcp. Until a few months ago, I worked with OpenSuse. There in firewall config, you had to assign each NIC to a zone, either internal, external, DMZ or custom. Without it not much would work. I don't seen anything on CentOs in firewall config. So how does this work in CentOs? greetings, James -- Johan

Dear Friends, I started integrating XUL into Rails, however, I have some problems. The first problem is that I can open local XUL files with Firefox, but cannot open them through Rails/Webrick, Firefox says it does not recognize what it is.

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the

Hi, We are thinking about choosing Rails as our weapon of choice for our next project, which is basically a text editor on steroids, whith some functionality that need an Internet connection.

Hi Folks, Just a quick message saying that, after much demand, I wrote a quick write-up for the RoR + XUL thing I did yesterday: http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/programming/ruby_xul.html It lays out the few simple things I did, has a bit of rant on an unrelated topic, and other stuff but it''s short still. On a related note, I''d like to thank "xal" on IRC for reminding
