browsers slowing Centos 7 installation to a crawl
elinks does not seem to be working for me. I typed in google.com as my first url. There seems to be no way out of google, nor any way further in. No place to type a url. What appears to be the search window is black and does not accept input. Oops. Now I seem to have clicked on google help or something. There seems no way to back up. Ok. Found the left arrow. Still no way to search or to get out

enp0s25 disconnect
I tried to boot a Centos 8.2 install CD, one burned with Centos-8-2-2004-x86_64-boot . In the setup, it persisted in telling me that ethernet thing enp0s25 was disconnected. Nyet. 'Twas working several seconds previous and is working now. This is a showstopper. How do I debug it? Also, whatever else it did, I now have environment variable

squishy bell
Both Gnome and KDE give me a loud squishy bell at the thought of the drop of a hat. I did not get that in C6. I infer it is a C7-specific thing. Short of disabling my audio altogether, how do I make it go away? Not one of C7's better features. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a

no images from www.imdb.com
For some reason, I no longer seem to get images from www.imdb.com , i.e. Internet Movie DataBase. The effect is really weird. I get from Firefox, Konqueror and Chromium. I'm running Centos 7. It's been happening for a few months now, so I really cannot tell what changed that mioght have caused it. How do I debug and fix this? Chromium still asks me for passwords a lot. I expect that is a

HP USB printer accepts jobs, but won't print
My HP USB C3180 All-in-one printer accepts jobs, but does not print. A job simply sits in the queue. I haven't used it on this computer for a while. It will print a test page when I connect it.

what does firefox have against sans-serif
I've been struggling to get Firefox to render text in a sans-serif font. So far, I've only been able to do that by setting the default font as sans-serif. DejaVu Sans Mono and DajaVu Sans are the only other listed fonts that I'm reasonalbly sure are sans-serif. Helvetica and Arial are not there. sans-serif does work on Konqueror. Does anyone know how to affect the font-family on

where, if at all, is my virtual printer output?
I recently installed the package that allows having virtual printers under CUPS. I used the localhost:631 GUI to add a virtual pdf printer. I do not remember what I did. Now there are two virtual printers, one named Cups-PDF and the one I named pdfprinter. I cannot find the output from either. I do not know how to ask them. >From firefox, print to file still works, but does not do what I

PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency.
I'm running centos 6, just did a yum update, and still cannot get sound from vlc. The entire message (reformatted): Potential PulseAudio version problem: PulseAudio is streaming with an excessive latency. Sound may be lost or quality degraded. To address that issue, upgrade the PulseAudio daemon to version 3.0, or disable the alternate sampling rate in its configuration I can find

getting files from a samsung flip phone
I'm trying to copy file from my samsung flip phone. google has informed me of libmtp and gvfs, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Centos 7 and priorities
I've recently changed to Centos 7. My recollection from C6 is that a couple useful repositories need yum priorities to prevent some mixups. I do not remember what they are. My C6 is gone. Google has not told me what C6 repositories were. In the near future, I will be installing nux and epel. My understanding is that they do play well with each other and with base. Are there common useful C7

gnome-shell killing KDE

bad text under KDE and C7
I recently installed C7 from a C7+gnome CD. Gnome was awful enough that I promptly installed KDE. KDE is not doing so well either. Text in text editors invoked by "opening" a file is flakey at best. E.g. pieces disappear and duplicate. Terminals seem ok, including vim invoked from the terminal. Firefox text seems ok. The sidebar text in file-browser windows often has "black
