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

A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the page. Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky 1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes instead). However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build

I've just built the nvidia driver for my home machine for the third time and I'd like to put it into a dkms format, but I'm not entirely clear on what goes where to make this work. I googled for a good primer on dkms, but what I'm finding is essentially equivalent to the man page, which, like most Unix/Linux man pages, doesn't really tell you "how to do this from

This morning I noticed that my (new in July) monitor was behaving strangely. At first, it was odd parts of web page graphics that didn't show up unless I scrolled up and down in the window, and then they weren't displayed with any consistency. Then I noticed that the screensaver failed to appear (computer was locked, but graphics never showed on the monitor). I tried running mplayer to

I sent a bug report to Mozilla about this, but I was hoping someone here might have an insight on this. I use SeaMonkey as my default browser (32-bit even though I'm running x86_64 CentOS 5.1), version 1.1.7. Shortyl after installing 1.1.7 on my 5.0 (and even since 5.1), I noticed that every so often, seemingly at random, although it appears most frequently when I click on something that

Has anyone else noticed this? I've been running a self-built, working 64-bit version of Seamonkey's 2.01a pre-release (alpha) version for the last six or seven months (because the "contributed" unofficial 64-bit build didn't work right and the official 32-bit release crashed all the time), and it's been working relatively well until recently, particularly in the area of

I'm starting a new thread on this because there are other failures I'd like to bring up, not _necessarily_ directly related to CentOS, but they all happen to me here. FTR: Linux mhrichter 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:35:59 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (AMD 64x2 7750, 2.7GHz, 2GB memory, 900+GB disk, etc.) I had a meeting to go to last night, so before I left, I

For those of you who have reported here about problems with your browser windows suddenly going away in Firefox and/or SeaMonkey: Please send me all relevant hardware and software configuration details about your Mozilla installation as well as your version of CentOS. I am looking into a theory about why this might be happening and need more input. You can send these privately directly to me

On top of my previously (just now) difficulties with yum, now I find that the 53.1.6 kernel is not installing properly. When I run "yum update" to install it, the install hangs here: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size

I have KomPozer installed, but after using M$ FrontPage for years, KomPozer looks like it is going to have a learning curve and I want to get away from FrontPage and Windows. I know Mark (MHR) uses SeaMonkey. Wondering if there is anything else I can use on Linux that is easier on a FrontPage user. I found this article: <http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmleditors/tp/aatpwyslinux.htm> when I

I've posted this question to the Gnome users list, but so far no luck, so I thought I'd mention this here. A little while ago, I noticed that I was no longer able to log out from my GDM. I'm running the default GDM (2.16) that comes with CentOS, and this problem started up right about the same time that I updated to the 53.1.4 kernel (from the 8.1.15 version). As I've posted

I just got a nice, shiny new machine at work, a Core 2 Duo, on which I just finished installing CentOS 5.2 with a fair number of packages, SeaMonkey 1.1.10, Adobe Reader 8.0, Adobe Flash 9.0, mplayer, mplayerplug-in (both from rpmforge), and I think that was it. Then I went and got the latest VMWare Server, 1.0.7, from VMWare, pulled down their rpm, installed it, and ran vmware-config.pl, which

Hi, yesterday I upgraded a centos 4.6 box via yum and now it seems that certain pages, especially swf files stopped working. Does anyone know if ImageMagick got broken on x64? I don't see any other package wich could have caused this problem. kind regards, Geert PS Below is the output of my yum update May 05 13:20:25 Updated: cups-libs.x86_64 1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.el4_6.6 May 05

Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed a problem that has developed with firefox? This started on both of my machines after the newest updates. I'll be at a website, even the mozilla website, and when I click on a link to go to another part of the site or to download a file, Firefox will just simply close. It's random for the most part, but it happened quite often at the sourceforge.net

This was working in 5.1 - I am now getting errors when I try to run a flash video in seamonkey under CetnOS 5.2. Here is the error: For application/x-shockwave-flash found plugin /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so sh: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer: No such file or directory Here is what I have installed: $rpm -qa | grep -i nsplugin
