Hi. Does anyone else have issues with the GNOME help viewer on CentOS 6? I think it mostly worked a while back, but after some recent update or the other, I have problems like: 1. Nothing happens when I click "Desktop User Guide" or "GNOME Desktop Accessibility Guide" or "GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide" on the "Help Topics" page. 2. If I

Hi, What's the proper/normal way of setting up GRUB for a CentOS 6 installation that boots using UEFI? I've recently set up such a system, but for technical reasons I mentioned in an earlier post, I booted in "legacy" mode during installation, which meant I didn't get the correct UEFI boot configuration, and had to set it up subsequently "by hand". I've

Hi, I've had problems copying files to Windows shares from my CentOS 7 machine lately. I originally got this in the desktop file manager, but find that I can also reproduce using gvfs-copy. "cp" to the directory mounted by gvfs works just fine, on the other hand. Also, the problem does not occur with small files - I think anything below 64k is OK. The following command sequence

Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth.

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but it just displays the message Sorry, something went wrong I mean, really? Isn't this

I'm using CentOS 7 for development of software that is sometimes used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I conjunction with an update of one of the applications, I asked some Red Hat users to install the Qt 4 Assistant application via the qt-assistant package (which is used by a "help" function in our software.) It seemed like there was no such package in the Red Hat package set,

Following some update or the other (I think) on my CentOS Stream 8 system, I'm no longer able to use ping as a regular user; I get $ ping www.centos.org ping: socket: Operation not permitted Does anyone else see this? It it a bug, or were the system/default permissions deliberately changed? Can anyone suggest a fix/workaround? Actually, I can find several different ones via a simple web

Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So,

In many case, but in the situations I'm talking about here is really a lot more cumbersome to use. To use the

Hi, Does anyone know a way to access rpm packages on the CentOS 6 install DVD after booting into "rescue mode" from the same DVD?

Hi Does anyone know what exactly controls which filesystems are listed when opening Computer (URL computer:///) in the File Browser? I have a system disk with 4 different data partitions, but only 3 of them show up in the list. The "missing" one can, however, be mounted just fine from the command line, and it's also included in /dev/disk/by-label. It has an NTFS file system,

Hi, After some recent upgrade or the other, the browser plugin for java no longer works in my CentOS 6 x86_64 setup - using Firefox. Applets won't load, and no java plugin is mentioned in "about:plugins". The "openjdk" Java packages as well as icetea-web are installed, though, and everything worked just fine a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what may be

I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on a couple of servers of type IBM System x3550 M3, but it's not going too well. Actually, the install setup phase runs as expected, and the actual installation also appears to be successful, but the system will not boot - I just get a message (presumably) from BIOS saying that boot from hard disk 0. If I start the installer again after this, or boot

Hi. Is anyone here running CentOS 6 with dual monitors configured as a single X Screen? I'm trying such a setup on version 5 (again), using NVIDIA TwinView, and it works in many ways, but there are a number of problems that means it's not too usable - the most important one being that there appears to be no way to control which of the displays new applications/windows will appear
