Basically, what I typed was: chown -R user2:user2 * chown -R user2:user2 .* chown -R user2:user2 *.* ...all in /home. Duh. I forgot which way recursive went. So, I then did: chown -R root:root * chown -R root:root .* chown -R root:root *.* ...this time in / to try and f things. Duh again. Other items need to have other owners & groups. So, how can I fix this? In MacOSX, there is a utility

Looking for recommendations.... On WinXP, I use MusicMatch Jukebox version 9 for all my tinkering with mp3s. What do you guys use that would match the functionality of MMJB? I'm mainly interested in the music library setup of MMJB... -- --- David Woyciesjes

Need some pointers here. I've got CentOS 4.4, and I want to control my OSX 10.4.9 box via VNC. It connects, and I get a little dot for the mouse cursor, but just a black screen. I can see the mouse controlling the OSX desktop... Here's the output when I start in a terminal: [d at f ~]$ vncviewer VNC server supports protocol version 3.889 (viewer 3.3) VNC authentication succeeded

I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first detected as Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors. I've tried tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the newer files said that they didn't support this card. I run the installer, it builds the module, but gets

I saw the link someone posted to SL (Scientific Linux) yumex rpm's. I grabbed the SRPMS, changed some references from SL to CentOS in the spec files and rebuilt the RPMS. I managed to get yumex up and running by manually configuring yumex.conf. What is the use of the yum-utils and the dozen or so utilities? Are there any docs? (Bearing in mind my hack may have damaged the SL installation)

When I start yumex as user it displays but stops with an error message that the backend is not running. However "yumex --root" starts and runs normally. It is Centos 6.5 64 bit and using XFCE running in virtualbox if that matters. Any suggestion as to what I am missing? Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod Box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

In case anybody is interested, I found a version of Yumex that will work with CentOS 4.2. It is from another RHEL clone, Scientific Linux. This is the URL. ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/42/i386/SL/RPMS/yumex-0.42-9.0.SL.noarch.rpm Cheers....Paul

Hi, I was using yum, which was working very well. Then I decided to try yumex, and installed yumex, which again worked fine. But, after that, when I came back to use console yum, it started giving error messages. So, I removed yumex and tried, in vain. Then I removed yum, and installed it with rpmforge repository. It works fine, but I only have rpmforge repository. How can I add CentOS

A bit of a new guy around these parts... I've done a bit of looking, and haven't found any newbie-friendly instructions on how to add the Dag repository to my CentOS4 box. Could somebody help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks... -- --- David Woyciesjes

I spent quite a bit of time setting up what I wanted to update and install via yumex. I left my system for a few minutes to attend to another computer. A helpful family member logged me off without checking. So can I recapture what I had queued? I cannot find anything that looks like a yumex queue file. yum.log does not have any updates from today.... :(

Hi, there isn't any version of yumex in 5.1 extras directory. Perhaps it is time for version 2.0.3?

Hi List, This morning while setting up C6 on my laptop this morning I attempted to download and install Yumex, but the repos returned no results for this package. Has this been discontinued and if so, what package manager should I be looking for? thanks, Mark

A little progress on Centos 6(.3), but.... Where is yumex? I have grown to depend on it...

Can Synaptic be used successfully on CentOS 4.4 instead of YumEx ? Are there any issues using Synaptic with the CentOS 4.4 repositories ?
