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

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. I want to be able to use my DVD-burner more than once without rebooting. lsof has not helped. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

Is there a way to automatically cause gvim's current directory to be the directory of the edited file? I am aware of workarounds involving the command line. I am aware of gedit. I am looking for a way to give gvim the correct

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
