Strange thing just began happening this past weekend with my Centos-7 netbook (using the MATE desktop, which may mean it's an EPEL problem...). the lock screen checkbox in the screensaver's UI is NOT checked. I've even used the dconf editor to uncheck ALL the boxes in the screensaver section that relate to locking the screen. nada. no such luck. even after rebooting, it still locks

Hi All! I've just done a test installation (on an external USB HD) to see how C7 works on my Acer Aspire netbook. Apparently the live install (I used this one: CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-livecd.iso) does not install CUPS. I've done "yum install cups" and got a ton of stuff installed, but it won't let me set up a printer in the printing applet in either Gnome or MATE (I prefer

Hi all! I've just spent a frustrating hour trying to get audio to come out of the speakers, where the input is via a cable from the headphone jack of my Sansa Sandisk player. I'm usin the Mate desktop (yes, I know, centos doesn't support it, so this may more properly be a question for EPEL...) and the Mate Volume control Applet. I've got it configured to use the front panel mic

Hi all! I'm setting up C7-64 as a VM using VirtualBox, on a Windows host. as soon as I install the vbox Guest Extensions and reboot, when I log in next time I get a white screen with a frowny face that says "Oh No, Something has gone wrong!" and then "A problem has occurred, and the system can't recover, please log out and try again." Sounds like a VirtualBox problem

I've just built a new system and installed latest Centos 5.3 on it. My old box also has an up to date Centos 5 on it. Some things are just plain different between the two installations, and it's stumping me why that would be. Example: on the old box, the shutdown dialog offers restart, cancel, shutdown, and also standby and hibernate. and the standby and hibernate options work, too. The

This just started happening this evening. a little history: way back last year, or thereabouts, I posted about a weird problem I was having. over the course of 2 or 3 days I figured out how to fix it, but not what the cause was. the fix amounts to navigating to my user's .local/share/mime directory and removing the file named "globs". So, back in the present: this evening that

Hi, I tried some windows screensavers with Wine. Most screensavers start with the configuration screen without a possibility to start the main screensaver part. It's the same thing when I rename a screensaver file from 'somewhat.scr' to 'somewhat.exe' and try to run it with a doubleclick on my Windows 2000 PC. (*.scr: the screensaver starts, *.exe: the configuration screen

Hi all! I use Centos-7 all the time. I also have a Fedora-26 VM that I use only occasionally. Today I noticed that ls on the two systems gives different results when listing the same (networked) directory. the one on fedora 26 shows files with spaces in the names like this: 'CHURCH FAMILY ADDRESS AND PHONE LIST.doc' whereas the one on Centos shows it without the quotes. both systems

Just tried to install the Amazon-downloader on Centos 5.1 (the Fedora 8 version, which seems the closest match of any they offer). Of course it gets a bazillion unfulfilled dependencies. so I tried "yum localinstall ./a*m" and it trundles along for a while finding several of the packages available then spews out this: Error: Missing Dependency: libboost_date_time.so.3 is needed by

Off topic, since it is a RH question, but I'm hoping someone here can point me to the right place to pursue this: We need an official RH build of nginx that contains the lua module(s), but the nginx builds in the rh scl repository do not. So, I'm looking for how to make an appropriate contact to inquire if RH could add lua to their current nginx build for the software collections I

Hi all! My C6 box seems to have developed this problem somewhere during recent weeks. not quite sure when, but I've noticed it several times lately. Whenever I plug in a USB device, be it a camera or a HD or a mouse, nothing happens. I mean nothing. /var/log/messages doesn't show any activity, lsusb does not show the new device. Back at the start of Feb I did move the raid1 pair of HDs
