similar to: audio CD playing oddity

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I

I know I'm slightly OT here, asking about RHEL, but since Centos is now a part of RH, I'm hoping I won't be summarily ejected. I've seen several articles that listed Centos 6.x as vulnerable, but DID NOT LIST RHEL 6. I'd think that if Centos 6.x is vulnerable, then so would RHEL 6.x, since Centos is made from RHEL sources. Does anyone know for sure either way? thanks! --

I dealing with problem 1 - see previous message - I set about creating a live DVD on my development system. Now I find that I cannot seem to mount a medium in that drive. wodim --devices reports it as present and so does cdrecode. I can use the eject utility to toggle the tray open and closed. But when I load a blank dvd or cd in that unit I get nothing on my desktop - in other words I am not

Hi e, I am normally use gnome and would do the following to make my CD / DVD mount with exec gnome-mount --write-settings --device /dev/sdc0 -o exec What is the equivalent in KDE ? My initial research suggests that I actually have to write a custom udev rule to achieve this. This has led me as far as running udevinfo -q path -n /dev/scd0 udevtest /block/sr0 (the output is below) My

Hi! Just did a TEST install of centos5 on an old PIII box. one of the things I wanted to see was the fancy desktop eye-candy of compiz and/or beryl. This box has a nvidia 6600 series card, and I've isntalled the Nvidia drivers (download from nvidia and run their installer). I used the software updater to install compiz (didn't show up on original install, perhaps I didn't hold my

First off, there is no access into the bios on this unit It will boot from the hard drive or a USB CD. I have a USB DVD/CDRW. The system will boot from it. But if I just press enter to install off the CD, I end up at the askmethod menu. I press the local CD option and am told, no CD. Help?

Hi! Just installed Centos 5 (I've been running 4.x which was an upgrade from previous versions, for a long time), but this one was a fresh install. Now Gnome gives me the two panel configuration (one at top, one at bottom) but I prefer the single, larger panel at the bottom. Anyone know how to tweak Gnome to revert to the single-panel form?

Has anyone here tried the new Tesseract OCR engine that google has recently released? I gave it a whirl last night. IT compiles more or less fine on Centos 4.4 if you don't mind lots of warnings. Took a scanned image I already had that contained a column of newspaper text, GIMP'ed it to cut everything but the text, increased contrast to get rid of grayish background, saved as

Hi! I'm using the ntfs-3g module for my portable USB hard drive on Centos 5.4. When I plug it into my centos box it mounts fine, but its owned by root and nobody but root has permission to write to it. I've been perusing the ntfs-3g and fuse man pages (and other docs) and they all seem to say that the default settings should be to allow RW access to everyone. but that isn't what

I haven't heard anything more about the centos tee shirts KB mentioned a few weeks ago. Have I missed out, or am I merely being too impatient? :) -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The Lord detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness. ----------------------------- Proverbs

Hi all! I was playing with plymouth themes on a c7 box. I found a page on redhat, in their rhel7 documentation that describes how to change to a different plymouth screen: plymouth-set-default-theme --list to find out what themes are installed. then I installed the remaining bunch the yum had available. so then installing one by doing plymouth-set-default-theme <theme name> dracut -f

Hi all! I just (well, a few days ago) installed C7 on a new-to-me (used) laptop, and notice something I've not noticed before, either on my personal desktop, or other C7 machines I use: every time I log in, it gives me a message something like "last failed login <timestamp>", where the date and time it gives are RIGHT NOW, just at the time I'm logging in (which succeeds).

I am trying to share a CD-RW from the samba server (SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.10) using Samba that came with the distribution. I am using user level sharing and have successfully shared out disk shares with both r and rw access. I can also access the CD-ROM and CD-RW in read mode and even do an installation from the CD-ROM to a client. When I try to create a CD using CD-RW, I get the following

Just did an in-place update from 6.1 to 6.2 on my eeepc 901 (Atom CPU). during boot, (if I hit ESC to see the boot messages) it says "starging udev" then nothing else for a few seconds, then a huge register dump scrolls by. it's too big to see the beginning of it. If I boot from the prior kernel and look in /var/log/messages, I don't see any evidence of the failed boot.
