Hey Y'all, I've been trying for months to get samba to share my printer with my wife's Win XP machine. I've RTFM, and spent hours on google to no avail. I can't see the printer from Windows so I can't mount it up. Nothing appears in the logs. The file shares work just fine. It looks like I've got Samba 3.6.9 on this machine: [mlapier at mushroom samba]$ rpm -qa

Hey All, Totem has stopped playing .wmv files recently. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I know I've played .wmv files not too very long ago. I've got 372 .wmv files all of which I've played at one time. When I try to launch any one of the .wmv files from file manager totem pops up but the controls are not functional. If I start totem from a terminal there is no

Anyone else seeing this? This is happening on a straight "Desktop" install of CentOS 6.6 fully updated. I have made no changes other than installing Thunderbird. Thunderbird will occasionally (10 to 20% of the time) fail to start, and the abrt report indicates a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). I don't see any other reports of this. Is no one using Thunderbird these days? Do abrt reports

Hey all, I'm trying to copy configuration files from my old CentOS 6.6 32 bit machine to my new CentOS 6.6 64 bit machine.

I had my samba printer shares working after many hours of struggling with the samba.conf file. I was happy. Now the printer shares have quit working. I checked the yum log to see if anything had been changed. Nothing applicable seems to have been changed. I've been surfing the net for the last couple of days trying to find a solution to the problem but I find many outdated and

Hey Y'all, Recently my sound has been misbehaving. The issue exists when I play sound using Rhythmbox, Totem Movie Player, or even Youtube video in Firefox or Chrome. The sound stutters and drops out. Sounds very rough. On Youtube the sound will eventually just die and can not be restarted until the browser is shut down and restarted. I've had issues related to Repo Forge

Hey Y'all, I just set up a new old machine on my network. I did a net install of CentOS 6.7 on it replacing an outdated copy of Win XP. Of course I'm now in the throws of configuring the machine to be a useful member of society.

Check out the redirection at the end of each command. 1>&2 redirects the standard out of your child command to the standard error which then appears in the parent shell. At the end the last & launches your command into a background shell and then moves on to launch the next command. The redirections don't care if the command ever terminates. The result is that both commands

Trying to install Canon printer driver package (rpm), I get a dependency error: libusb-1.0.so.0 is needed.... The version currently installed on my 5.9 system is libusb-0.1.12-6.el5 and, AFAIK (per yum), no upgrade to that is available. So question: Do higher centos versions have libusb-1.0.so ? (We could perform a quick inventory with: uname -r; rpm -q libusb Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a command to extract lines from a large text file, a password file. A typical user has a username made from a letter followed by their id-number. m9718508:pw:9301:840: Lynch :/home/pgstud/m9718508:/bin/bash So for instance if I need to extract lines where; the 1st field, the username begins with an m and the 4th field, the group contains exactly 850 cat passwdfile |

I have installed emacs with yum and now I'm trying to create a .emacs file and put some commands in it, but I can't type anything in the emacs buffer. It says the buffer is read-only. I exited emacs and did touch .emacs and I get a message that it can't do that on a read-only file system. I googled around to see why this might be, but I can't see any links on this. Any tips why

Hi Just thought I might ask my recent question about Eclipse again, only in a slightly different way: Is anyone here using the Eclipse version supplied with the CentOS 6 distro (as opposed to a build downloaded from www.eclipse.org)? Does it work for you? Are you able to install additional components via the built-in software setup mechanism? Thanks, - Toralf This e-mail, including any

Hi, all. I'm trying to install the EPEL repo on a fully up to date CentOS 6.4. I'm using wget to download from my usual source but after I install it via `sudo rpm -ivh epel-xxxxx` it's not actually there in `/etc/yum.repos.d`. Trying to install it again, Yum just tells me it's already installed. I've no idea where it is installed if it is (which I don't think it is)

Hey All, Has anyone had trouble with Firefox/Thunderbird? When I log on if I start Thunderbird first then I can't start Firefox. Clicking on a link in an email fails to start Firefox. If I start Firefox before Thunderbird then hyperlinks in emails open a page in the existing Firefox instance. Other users on this same machine are having the same problems. This has been happening for that
