I've just upgraded from my old F9 box to C7, which of course means lots of changes.? However, the ones are are annoying me most are with VIM. No matter what I do I can't get? gvim to open in a reasonable size. I have a dual headed setup (laptop + external) and every time gvim opens it takes up both screens. I've tried a few suggestions including the one below without success.? In

I recently obtained a desktop computer with an nVidia video card: from lspci: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1 I had to open the case to connect the DVD drive and saw what appears to be a fallen radiator: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/amd64-1.jpg http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/amd64-2.jpg That nothing is shorted

gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-11) is a bit old. There have been major changes since then. I'd like a newer version. If I have to, I expect that I can install from source. I'd rather not. Is there a CentOS 6-compatible repository from which I can get a newer version? Does a standard CentOS 7 repository have a newer version? Does a CentOS 7-compatible repository have a newer

This happens every time. I: 1. ssh into another machine 2. start gvim 3.

I am using: OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f This problem doesn't happen if I rlogin and set my

I've got an MSI K9N Platinum MS 7250 VER 1.1 motherboard with a dead battery. The battery mounts vertically: http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/computer/battery.png To me, the tab on the right would seem to need moving. It does not want to move. I am reluctant to apply any more force than I already have without knowing how to apply it. How do I remove the battery? -- Michael hennebry

Whenever I start firfox, it tries to download two .iso files into Desktop. Until recently, I wouldn't notice until it announced that it had run out of room. At that point I would click on the messages to make them go away. In the mean time, it had been chewing up bandwidth. One file, I had tried to download by mistake. Don't remmeber what I did with it on purpose. The other I downloaded

I've been informed that rpmforge and epel do not play well together and that if I use both, epel should have the higher (lower numbered) priority. Alas I had it the other way around. rpmforge messed up my effort to get audacity. I no longer need audacity, but would like to fix the situation before some other problem crops up. Would fixing the priorities and telling yum to reinstall all the

How do I find whatever it is that wodim or readom thinks is using /dev/sr0 and kill it? So far, reboot is the only solution I've found that works. I don't like it.

My recollection had been that even when possible, booting from USB involved black magic. This helped: Pete Biggs <pete at biggs.org.uk> > Some do, some don't. They all come with

Most of the time, if I plug a USB drive into my computer, gnome/centos/whatever will ask me what I want to do with it. With a Hitachi Lifestudio, all the partitions mount without asking me. How do I stop that behavior? My suspicion is that the same kind of mechanism is what makes candy drops work. So far as I know, my backup drive is not candy, but I would still like to be able to control my

I have a gif image in a folder. Whenever I have gthumb display it or a copy of it, gthumb goes into slideshow mode. Usually I can stop the show. It will not stop before going to the next image. but I only have a slideshow period to look at the troublemaker. If the troublemaker is last in the directory, I cannot stop the show without stopping gthumb. How do I make gthumb stop going into slideshow

How do I make my headset work. Before I try it with anything else, I'd like to make it work with arecord and aplay. VLC and movie player can make sounds with my external speakers. though not in my headset yet. I've got an insignia NS-PAH5101 headset. As directed, the red connector is in the pink spot and the green connector in green spot in the back of my computer. arecord folloed by aplay
