I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing. As you may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba. For some reason, the winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports: samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11 samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11 as present. So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/ Do

I installed the kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm today and went to build it, but it fails with this error: $ rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec Building target platforms: x86_64 Building for target x86_64 error: Failed build dependencies: unifdef is needed by kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64 I double checked and this appears to be the latest kernel source rpm on centos/5.0/os/SRPMS.

I just bit the bullet and installed CentOS 5 on my work desktop, and although I have two monitors and a card that supports them, I cannot get the display configuration to work with both as a continuous (spanning) desktop. I have tried using the correct (autodetected) monitor type (digital and analog), a generic LCD with 1280x1024, nothing works. Every time I set the configuration, the X server

I'd like to point out that overall I am quite pleased with CentOS 5, although I am having more fun with it than I did with 4.4 and I knew less about CentOS then (duh). Most things seem to work fine, including a relatively smooth installation from the DVD image I downloaded, although the number of screensavers I can see (and this could be related to the ATI/dual head problem) is pathetically

I've asked this almost everywhere else, so obviously I only find out about this list now (my doing, too). I am running VMWare Workstation on top of host CentOS 4.4 Plus on a Dell Precision 390 with 2G of main memory. Under VMWare, I am running a Windows XP guest OS. I have a similar setup at home except that the hardware is a little different but the memory and the setup are the same, and

I recently added a Seagate 400Gb SATA drive to my system, and it has been behaving strangely since I put it in. for one thing, the BIOS S.M.A.R.T. came up with a warning the last time I booted with it enabled, saying that I should backup my data and replace the disk (!). I still have not made any irreversible data transfers to this drive, and I have some time yet to take it back, but I'd

Hi, I am having some issues with CentOS 5. -XMMS stops playing MP3s without apparent reason. I leave it playing some album and it will just stop whenever it feels like it. It will go into "pause" and just stay there. Pressing on the pause button to resume does nothing at all. I thought it could be some newly encoded songs, but it does the same for a song that I have played 100% times.

Hello, I've got a new Centos5 install and got x installed with gnome on it. The problem is the display looks awful and keeps flickering. It failed the monitor probe and doesn't have horizontal and vertical refresh rates in the xorg.conf file. I believe this is part or all of the issue, i took it down to 8-bitt color and 800x600 resolution, that didn't help. The video card is

Inconpatibility CentOS 5 64 Bit + VMware Server ? Bye Gio

Nvidia driver for 6200 LE video card. No problems with CentOS 4.5. When installed (not upgraded) 5.0 X would not start. X works fine with 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 but only with xorg.conf as written for 4.5 Haven't seen traffic regarding this problem. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Dick -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither

I'm running with CentOS 4.3 and the system was setup originaly with no development system and no kernel sources. I'm trying to get the headers and libraries installed and it is giving me fits. I've followed the suggestions on several threads and tried to yum install gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel but I seem to not be able to get /usr/include or use/include/sys packages... don't

1) Is this the right place for kernel internals questions and if not, what is? (Refresher: I am relatively new to Linux kernel internals, but not kernels in general. I've work on Unix and proprietary kernels, including my first seven years as a professional developing a whole system from the ground up.) 2) I noticed this morning that my GLMatrix screensaver is not working any

Hi! running a Centos 4.5 system here. This week when I do "yum update" I get this output: # yum update Loading "protectbase" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories kbs-CentOS-Extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 pidgin 100%

Probably a stupid question, but here goes anyway. Are there any other screensavers available besides the four supplied in the release? Or is there a way to use the ones that came with 4.4 in 5.0?....

I have begun to notice that the smartd stalls my machine's boot process for as much as 2-3 minutes while it is coming up. I have the BIOS SMART function enabled, and I removed the bad SG400GB drive from the box yesterday, but I think this goes back farther than that. Why does it take so long? Is the BIOS SMART involved in this (and how)? Also, sendmail and sm-client take 30s-2m to come up

I have the Adobe (Macromedia) flash player installed on my CentOS 4.4 x86_64 system, but when I try to play a flash movie in SeaMonkey (or Firefox - doesn't matter) I get no sound. I'm using the nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.4 to make it work at all, but there's no sound. All my other sound devices/players work just fine, even my Windows guest on VMWare Server. Any ideas/suggestions? Yes,

I had to reboot my work machine today, and it came up in text mode (!). I did an init 5, but that had no effect (wrong command?). I killed the three gdm processes, and voila, X server mode. Where do I look to find out what is not right here? Thanks. -- Mark Hull-Richter, Linux Kernel Engineer DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 -

For the interest of all concerned: The 32-bit version of Seamonkey works perfectly with the flash plugin. I haven't tested others yet, including the acrobat reader, but I have much more confidence that problems encountered there will be easily soluble. Thanks to all who contributed, especially Jim Perrin, who gave me the critical clue as to what was not working. -- Mark Hull-Richter

I could be mixed up here, but I have mplayer working perfectly at home in CentOS 4.4, but I just built it here at work for CentOS 5.0 and it doesn't produce any sound.
