I'm using the MATE desktop (via 'yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"') on CentOS 7. I'm finding the mouse to be rather flakey in the sense that: - in MATE Terminal, clicking on text and dragging the mouse (in order to highlight the text and copy it to the X cut & paste buffer) will sometimes drop the highlight (thus not copying anything), or stop and

The abortion that is the RHEL/CentOS 7 graphical install interface is far too dumbed-down to be easily usable by anyone that understands what is going on under the covers. Oh,

Does anyone have the magic incantation required to getting *independent* multi-monitors going under CentOS 7? Ideally under xfce or trinity, but I'm interested about GNOME/KDE observations as well. I'm trying to move my main workstation from CentOS5 to CentOS7 and while the spanned desktop works, not having independent monitors really cuts into my productivity. i.e.: I couldn't

Hi all! I'm looking for a frozen-bubble that works on C7.

Hi! Thanks to some of you I got autofs set up on my C7 netbook for mounting local cifs filesytems. Now I want to do something on my C7 desktop machine, that seems to me to be a little different, and I"m not sure how to do it. I have an external RAID1 box that attaches via USB. It is/will be nearly always /dev/sdc, but being USB I can't guarantee that it will always be found there.

Attempting to install latest Calibre on Centos-7, getting: 2015-12-22 21:32:38 URL:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py [25887/25887] -> "-" [1] Installing to /home/fredex/calibre-bin/calibre Downloading tarball signature securely...

I'm trying to figure out if the stock kernels for Centos-6 and/or Centos-7 have ExecShield compiled in, and if so, if it is turned on by default. On my local C7 box I've been looking at/for indicators without a lot of success: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/00-system.conf. does not mention ExecShield at all. /proc/sys/kernel has no entries for exec_shield no mention of execshield in any of the files

Hi all! I've just installed C7 on my netbook that already contained Win7 (and also Fedora 19, which the C7 is intended to replace). The Fedora installer had found the windows installation and it appeared in the grub menu, and was bootable and worked fine. The C7 installer did not put the windows installation into the grub menu. with some googling I found a page at
