I installed Centos on some machines that need long term support. I'm running up against some simple user convenience issues. How to play MP3? I've been really puzzled today that the addon rpm sites like livna, rpmforge, rpmfusion, epel, don't seem to have something like amarok-mp3 or xine-lib-mp3. What am I missing? It can be done in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora Linux. In the

Hi guys - brand new 5.1 install here and quite happy - but... The nv driver did not work at all for me, fritzy stripes and dots. This is a GeForce 7300 LE which was working happily dual-head under FC6 with the livna nvidia RPMs So I looked around and it seemed like the ATRpms repo via yum was the best option for CentOS. This is what I installed, it worked great with the xorg.conf from the

Dear developers I would like to submit dumps, but I spend ~4 hours last time on installing the nVidia drivers, and ended up with the livna.org RPM's. So can I install the Nouveau driver without damaging the nVidia drivers? I am using Fedora 7 and integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150. That's the C51 core, right? Hugs, Louise

Hi Group, we're just wondering, in German we call the different types of phone-numbers (Geographic,mobile,national,VoIP...) Rufnummerngassen (phone number alleys ;-) ) Is there an english word for this? -- ----------------------------- Markus Weiler markus_weiler at mailworks.org -----------------------------

Hi; On my Fedora Systems [/etc/yum.repos.d] I have the following repos: dag.repo dries.repo fedora-extras.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo freshrpms.repo livna.repo Two questions: 1) Where can I get a .repo file (with centos url's of course) for the baseic stuff like updates and extras. 1b) Can I use redhat repos? 2) What about the other guys, livna, dag, dries, freshrpms. Which one of

Hi, I'm a fedora user and I didn't know about your great project (shame on me). Only project I head about before that tried to do that you are doing is gnash. I'm testing fedora rawhide (development verision - soon to be Fedora 9). Rawhide currently uses Firefox 3 and swfdec installed by default - that is how I got to know about your project. Current version in rawhide is

Hi all, I'm having trouble running windows games from Fedora 9, 64 bit, using wine rc3. I've tried Command & Conquer 3, Age Of Mythology and Jazz Jackrabbit 2. All games fail. I mostly get an error saying that direct3d9 won't work without opengl. However, I have opengl. I've run glxgears and it runs fine. Following is the output: 8877 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1775.333 FPS 9327

Hi All, I've tried swfdec on Fedora 8 x86_64 without much luck. I originally used the rpms from livna. I primarily want it just to view youtube videos which from various blog posts I thought worked. It seems to detect the flash but i just get a white background (it does detect a plugin as you don't get the jigsaw piece). So i recompiled the rpm on my machine just to make sure. No

I have experienced a couple of power failures since installing CentOS 5, both while I was working on the system. The first time, several weeks ago, I thought there was some "feature" that I had never seen before but couldn't really put my finger on it. The power came back on after a few seconds and I never missed a beat. I also shrewdly forgot about the anomaly that I had

I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-) I started getting the following messages from yum: ]: yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Howdy folks - I just moved my laptop from Fedora to CentOS. FC6 was running rather sweet, then they decided to EOL it, and F8 - while it had some nice new features, it was just way to quirky for me. I no longer enjoy re-installing the OS quite so often, hence my move to CentOS. So I installed CentOS 5 on my laptop, and built a bunch of packages, making "yet another" repo for CentOS.

My fully patched CentOS 6.5 system uses: hplip-common-3.12.4-4.el6_4.1.i686 hpijs-3.12.4-4.el6_4.1.i686 hplip-libs-3.12.4-4.el6_4.1.i686 My wife's printer becomes supported at 3.13.somethingOrOther and the current release is 3.14.something. Why are we so far behind? I realize that I can download the latest, uninstall the RPM versions and compile and build and install the source copy. If I

Sorry if this has been dealt with, but I couldn't find it in a search. I updated Fedora to the new kernel build, and there are no current drivers for nvidia cards for that. That's fine, livna made a new neat thing called akmod-nvidia that appears to have built the drivers very nicely (quite pleased with that). All is happy and shiny from within Linux (compiz works and openGL games work

I found gstreamer backend > totem to be most unsatisfactory. Hi guys, Could you please share some details on how to get totem-xine running on CentOS? I believe this could be interesting to a number of people on the list, not just me.

Hi Is it possible to have rpmforge for both architectures? Currently is only for 64bit, but I need some libraries 32bit (rrdtool) to install ganglia. But if I try to install rpmforge i386, I got the message: [root at kitten01 mgarcia]# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file

Oh, sorry, I should have clarified. What I meant by "wait a year" was the time from the first .0 or

Greetings all. I just enabled all repos on my system, to enable me to find a particular package. This is the first time I have noticed all the Centos repos < 5.6 being listed. Is this a new feature, to include all repos pre 5.6 now? Here's the output of the aforementioned yum command - sorry it's a little bit long: [root at karsites ~]# yum --enablerepo '*' --disablerepo

I'm sure this is a FAQ, and a simple answer is available, but I've not managed it yet. I've tried all of the RPM database tidy routines. I've tried uninstalling the libblueray1 library but the ever growning dependency tree was too big. For a while I've been updating using the command yum -y --skip-broken --exclude rpcbind update which I though t was working, but the
