similar to: Problems with SATA DVD+-RW drive [SOLVED]

I just got a Dell Dimension e521 (AMD 64 x2, nVidia MCP51 chipset) and so far it has been fine. Today I tried to burn some CD-R and DVD-R disks and have been able to do nothing but make coasters. The drive is a TSST TS-H653a (Samsung OEM) and does have the current firmware. Playing back data, audio, and video disks work just fine, but recording is a different matter. The drive shows up as

I've currently got the nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386, freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch, and nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386 packages installed on a couple of CentOS 4 update 3 systems and I'm getting the same results on all of them. I got the new version of freenx via "yum update" and it appears to have "broken" fullscreen mode. The connection config file I have been using does have the

I downloaded the RPMs from the Oracle web site (otn.oracle.com) and successfully installed them on my C5 box, but the sqlplus client software would not run properly. After a few iterations with sealert, I finally got a handle on what was happening. It turns out that most of the shared libraries Oracle installs need to have their SElinux file context modified to allow relocation. Here's

Let me QUICKLY say I'm not complaining here, but is the csgfs repository not being actively maintained? The Red Hat ftp site has much newer versions available than what is currently in the CentOS csgfs repo, at least for the kernel modules. Should I just go ahead and rebuild them from the SRPMs myself, or is this an unintended condition? This has been holding me up from upgrading to the

I've recently set up two workstations running CentOS 6, one with an nVidia card and the elrepo drivers and one with an ATI Radeon card with the elrepo fglrx drivers. Both work well, but one aspect of the systems works different from CEntOS 5 on those systems: I cannot get a wallpaper image to span the two monitors. I have tried both with and without xinerama and there is no difference

I recently noticed a LOT of ssh-agent processes running on my system (CentOS 4.2). It seems that the ssh-agent gets started before the session manager (in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common) which is great. The only problem is that the agent process does not die when the session shuts down. I run ssh-add in my session startup to get my key loaded into ssh-agent, so that might be part of the issue.

This topic came up some time back and I pretty much ignored it, but the "itch" came back to find out why. Searching through the FreeNX/knx list came up with the reason sessions did not come up full-screen even though the session definition was set to fullscreen. Apparently there is an oversight in /usr/bin/nxnode, the script is never retrieving the fullscreen flag from the parameters

I didn't see anything on the list about this over the holidays and thought it might be of some interest: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-list/2006-December/msg00049.html Lots of discussion around this topic on the fedora-legacy-list. -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey at mindless.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I recently stood up an EL7 box with Mailman for a few lists I run for some friends. My old install, on an EL6 system, ran with no issues for several years but I was induced to upgrade by a "hardware casualty" on the old system. I was going to have to rebuild anyway, so why not take it as an opportunity to try EL7? The build went fine and I was able to migrate the lists over with no

I found a lot of stuff about this on the web, but never an answer that worked. One of the most promising hints was about udev maintaining links in the /dev/disk/by-* directories. This works just fine in CentOS 5, but not CentOS 4. As I was trying to use the iSCSI devices as VMware disks this was particularly frustrating. After banging my head on this for a while, I figured out how to make

I guess my Google-fu wasn't up to this one! I have a system running CentOS 5.9 32-bit running in FIPS mode that I would like to update. Unfortunately, it fails when attempting to run "yum update". I've disabled all the repositories except for base and updates and still get the same issue, an error carping about an algorithm forbidden by FIPS. Here's what I see: >

we have CENTOS 5.2 on DELL server. we need allow a user can "su" to another user without password. for example: account user1 can "su - user2" without password. (user2 is NOT root) I know this is big security risk but .... Anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

Hi I read and used the article http://blog.wazollc.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=2 to authenticate my ad accounts when logging on to cent 5...however, once I edit the nsswitch.conf file, I can't even log on as root or any local users anymore.

Is there a way to use kickstart to boot a machine into a manual setup process? Basically what I'm getting to is this, the machine doesn't not have a CD drive in it (nor can I add one), but I can boot it via kickstart. The install media is on the network. What I'd like to do is boot this machine up and rather than have kickstart do everything for me as far as installing the OS and
