Much to my surprise, I found this: # Generated by NetworkManager search midcoip.net nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 2001:48f8:3004:2ce:5a19:f8ff:fe9e:a4bc I doubt it's the source of my problems, but the second line looks like something midco did to

I've got a Brother HL-L2360D series printer connected to Centos 7. CUPS lists it as Generic PCL6/PCL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 . When I tell it to print a pdf file, it prints at most the first page. After powering the thing off and turning it on again, it printed page 3 of pages 3-6 . On trying it again, the thing claimed it was receiving data and printed page 3 of pages 3-6 again.

Both Gnome and KDE give me a loud squishy bell at the thought of the drop of a hat. I did not get that in C6. I infer it is a C7-specific thing. Short of disabling my audio altogether, how do I make it go away? Not one of C7's better features. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a

For some reason, I no longer seem to get images from www.imdb.com , i.e. Internet Movie DataBase. The effect is really weird. I get from Firefox, Konqueror and Chromium. I'm running Centos 7. It's been happening for a few months now, so I really cannot tell what changed that mioght have caused it. How do I debug and fix this? Chromium still asks me for passwords a lot. I expect that is a

How do I download pictures from a dumb phone? I have a Samsung phone I bought at a Walmart. According the the front, it worships Verizon. Beyond that, I'm not at all sure what kind. If I use a real USB connector to connect it to my PC, CentOS sees it as a character special device. What, if anything, I can do with that device, I do not know. I've not found any settings related to USB. In

All too often, my ssh session will freeze. I'm fairly certain the problem is at my end. None of the tilde commands work. In particular, ~# and ~. are nonfunctional. I can write to ssh's terminal window from another terminal window. If I kill the ssh process, I can ssh in again. The next time it happens, I will try another ssh session without killing the first one. dmesg did not show me

youtube-dl doesn't work for me after a recent update. I do not use it often, so do not know whether the update matters. It gives the error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' I've tried reinstalling

Do not know about the ipv6 address. I was about to show to what I had changed resolv.conf, but something changed it back. Grrrr.

I'm running centos 7. Firefox spends so much time in th D state that I am trying konqueror. Displaying mathematics on wikipedia, e.g. Remez algorithm seems to be a no go. Wikipedia seems to use tex, so I installed texlive and texlive-* . Firefox hadn't needed it and it did not seem to help konqueror. My guess is that there is a bit somewhere that I need to flip, but I have no idea where it

elinks does not seem to be working for me. I typed in google.com as my first url. There seems to be no way out of google, nor any way further in. No place to type a url. What appears to be the search window is black and does not accept input. Oops. Now I seem to have clicked on google help or something. There seems no way to back up. Ok. Found the left arrow. Still no way to search or to get out

My HP USB C3180 All-in-one printer accepts jobs, but does not print. A job simply sits in the queue. I haven't used it on this computer for a while. It will print a test page when I connect it.

I tried to boot a Centos 8.2 install CD, one burned with Centos-8-2-2004-x86_64-boot . In the setup, it persisted in telling me that ethernet thing enp0s25 was disconnected. Nyet.
