Hello. I burned a CD with the 5.2 netinstall iso, and installed it onto a laptop (Acer Aspire 3680). Note that I'm *totally* new to laptops. The install went fine. But, when I boot it, it errors at the user login. A screen comes up, stating that X11 cannot start, and that it's probably the mouse. A bit of investigating revealed that there is no Synaptics module installed. It will

I just installed 5.3 on a tower box. When I plug in a usb flash drive, the machine crashes. I don't know how to diagnose the problem; I used gnome-system-log, and got this (watching it as I plugged it in): Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 12 16:43:27

I saved pictures on an SD card with my Nokia phone (1 GB). Now, I'm trying to use the card on my Acer Aspire 3680 (laptop) running 5.3 and gnome. Popping the card in (until it clicks) evokes nothing from the system log or dmesg, and I don't see anything relevant in /dev. (What is the device for this?) lspci has this entry: 0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime

Hi! I have 2 questions : 1. I heard about an best and all policy with yum for 64bit arch .. how can i change the policy to best as is annoying to have doubled packages when i need only the 64bit ones ... 2. i try to update the apache and i have this : --> Processing Dependency: /usr/share/magic.mime for package: httpd --> Finished Dependency Resolution httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.1.x86_64

Hello. I'm setting up a computer that will run 'CentOS 6 server'. The MB is an Asus with a hw raid controller (Promise PDC-20276), which I want to use in RAID-1 mode. I noted (from a MB website) that it also needs a driver - which is probably why it's called a 'fakeraid'. So, I've been trying to determine if any recent kernels support this chip. Using

Hi, I have two very similar AMD based work stations running fully current CentOS x86_64.

I'm teaching myself about ethernet cards, and found a TLDP page. I have CentOS 5.3. In this section: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4 in the 'Driver as module' subsection, regarding PCI cards, it states that there should be a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net" [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 [mykolas at sr1220

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default

I installed CentOS 5.3 on a desktop box, and I'm having a problem with the splash screen resolution (during bootup). I suppose that it somehow got configged when I set the GUI's screen (I run in level 5). I think that, in finding the highest res for the GUI, I went past the monitor's capability. But it's good now. During boot, I get a funny 'double' display (2 pointers, 2

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great!

Hi, I just upgraded to the newest kernel and Flash. Hulu now "grays out" when I try to go to full screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the proprietary video drivers (no difference either way), so I'm guessing it has something to do with either the new Flash or the new kernel. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks for any pointers. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5

I have changed /etc/sysconfig/nfs to specify port numbers for NFS daemons. Somehow statd is still starting up at random port number. Other damons are starting at properly at specified port numbers Any clues on what might be wrong? Any other location/setting that takes precedence over sysconfig/nfs ? It's CentOS 5.5 64bit with nfs-utils 1.0.9-44.el5. -- Thanks, CS

Hi all, I'm getting contradictory results from bptest and ncvTest on a model calculated by GLS as: olslm = lm(log(rr)~log(aloi)*reg*inv, data) varlm = lm(I(residuals(olslm)^2)~log(aloi)*reg*inv, data) glslm = lm(log(rr)~log(aloi)*reg*inv, data, weights=1/fitted(varlm)) Testing both olslm and glslm with both ncvTest and bptest gives: > ncvTest(olslm) Non-constant Variance Score Test

Good afternoon folks. Earlier today, I started upgrading a few of our servers to 5.4 based on input from the list. So far, all has gone well. I have about 6 servers (not very many, but still) that need to be upgraded. Instead of taking precious bits from the mirrors for each upgrade, I was curious if I could rsync the 5.4 directory from a local mirror, and configure yum to use that repo, if

I am trying to test goodness of fit for my legalistic regression using several options as shown below.  Hosmer-Lemeshow test (whose function I borrowed from a previous post), Hosmer–le Cessie omnibus lack of fit test (also borrowed from a previous post), Pearson chi-square test, and deviance test.  All the tests, except the deviance tests, produced p-values well above 0.05.  Would anyone please

Dear Thierry, thank you for the quick reply. I have only one question about the approach you proposed. As you suggested, imagine that the model we end up after the model selection procedure is: mod2.1 <- lmer(dT_purs ~ T + Z + (1 +T+Z| subject), data =x, REML= FALSE) According to the common procedures specified in many manuals and recent papers, if I want to compute the p_values relative to

Hi all, prior to 5.4 upgrade, my two DNS servers would only get 'connection refused resolving .....' on rare infrequent occasions (once or twice a month) after upgrade to 5.4 I get 500+ per day. Google has suggestions for |logging category lame-servers null; ; ; |however this strikes me as severe overkill as it will mask genuine problems. Anyone else noticed this? Suggestions as to
