Hi all, I hope someone could enlighten me... How could I resolve the fact that the volume controls of all the headphones I try on CentOS 7 are not working, they are OK on CentOS 6 but impossible to make them work on my Thinkpad Laptop with an iPhone headphones or a Marshal Monitor plugged with a jack connector... Those 2 headphones work correctly in CentOS 6... What could I do to get the same

I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars,

since I got the big bolus of updates from the CR repo a few days ago my netbook (AcerAspire One D255E) will no longer go to standby when the lid is closed. This was a Gnome desktopp installation with theh MATE desktop fromm EPEL. I've verified that the correct setting still exists in power manager but it persists in continuing to run when the lid closes. it WILL go to standby if explicitly

Hello Community, I successfully installed and run xen (xm list and xm info can output appropriately). However, while I was installing domU image by using virt-install -p at domU OS. I encountered an error information" Host does not support virtualization type ''xen'' ". I built xen from source. Some of my friends have the same issue, but if they use pre-build xen, the

I'm running Mate on my C7 boxen, a desktop and a netbook.\ Mate comes from epel, so it's probably not a CentOS problem, but lemme ask here in case anybody else has seen it: some tools (nm, pavucontrol, and possibly others I haven't noted down) no longer have the correct formatting on screen. there are no backgrounds, i.e., backgrounds that define areas of the screen by shading or

So, I am using MATE from EPEL as my desktop on one of my laptops. The screen saver was working, however the monitors (if connected via a docking station) were not going to sleep even if selected via the GUI mate power manager. I then discovered that dpms has to be initialized via the command line before it becomes available, regardless of the GUI mate power manager setting. This documentation

I've got an old HP Netbook, which is just fine for taking with when I'm travelling, to check email and news. I have a very old Ubuntu netbook-remix on it, and it really, *really* needs to be updated to something current. I, of course, would prefer CentOS.... The question is: I see that *if* the specs I just looked up (I'm at work, not home, where I could just turn it on, but they

Hello All, on the latest installs I've done, on 2 different types of Latitude laptops, with 3 different wireless cars, of Centos7 and Mate desktop, it looks to me like NetworkManager is nog managing wireless. When clicking the nm icon in the top right corner, I'm not seeing access points. Wifi seems enabled [root at localhost ~]# nmcli g STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW

I'm trying to get regular EQ to work, but it keeps crashing. It'll patch fine. The graphics get all weird at the character select screen. Like my guy will be invisible, but his weapon is there. Try to load after that and it seems to get all the way then crashes before the world shows. I'm on a Lenovo S10-2 netbook with the Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04. I know for sure that the
