Hi all! I'm getting: Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application for a certain Java app. I'm hoping someone can tell me what bits and pieces I need to install (and maybe where to find them) so I can satisfy that app's appetite without screwing up my system. Thanks in advance! Fred PS: I see openjfx at openjfx.io. I assume that if this

We deployed our first CentOS-4 based workstation this past spring to see if we can conveniently replace all, or at least most, of our MS-Win based user systems with Linux boxes instead. Generally this trial unit has proved a success but there is one lingering problem that I cannot seem to find a straight-forward answer to: Is there an administrator override to a user's password protected

A Large Wine Company in Upstate NY is considering leveraging EScreenz, A software application that allows companies to deliver messages to all employees and workforce via idle computers screensavers. The administrative back end allows for the uploading of slides and content that is broadcast to all networked PCs through the screen-saver. This application was first adopted by

I apologize up front, I'm sure this isn't the right place to ask, but I'm not sure where I should ask, instead. Hoping for some helpful hints in that regard... I'm using (trying to use...) the -fsanitize=thread feature. Though I'm finding the diagnostics rather cryptic, that isn't my issue here.

Hi all! I wish to give huge thankyous to KB and all the others who worked to get 7.3 out the door. Many thanks! I have some good things and some bad. A good thing is that unlike previous versions, when I plug in my USB headphones they are automatically recognized and I get sound without having to change anything! (which is a huge win from before when I had to mess with settings, sometimes for a

Hi gang! Running 5.1 with Gnome as the default desktop, but have installed KDE too so I can run kde apps. Kmidi is the default midi player, so if I click on a midi file in firefox it brings up KMIDI. KMIDI goes merrily along playing the file, but I get NO SOUND. My motherboard has built in audio but it's disabled and I"m using an old Audiopci 128 card which seems to work fine for

Hi all! I keep having problems with screensaver(s) on Centos-7. I have in the past liked Xscreensaver, so I've installed it and tried to suppress whatever other screensaver is on the system. Xscreensaver works fine for a day or 20 then quits working. After a lengthy battle I gave up and removed it. I'm now trying mate-screensaver, which does the same thing! when I say "quits

Guys/Gals: On 64bit 6.5, I've had to "yum remove" the Xiphos package because it was causing errors in "yum update", complaints about it requiring libgtkhtml-editor. I've had Xiphos installed since I installed 6.x almost a year ago, and it has worked fine for me. recently yum is complaining about this issue, and I can't figure it out. there doesn't appear to
