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 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

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

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! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk at a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd:

Hi all, One of our CentOS 5.3 randomly reboots, at different times of the day, and I can't see why it's doing it. I have looked through the logs, but don't see any thing in there that shows me why it has rebooted. How can I debug this? Here's a snipped from the log, around the time of the reboot: Jun 2 14:59:59 usaxen02 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data

Hi, I am using lmer to analyze habitat selection in wolverines using the following model: (me.fit.of <- lmer(USED~1+STEP+ALT+ALT2+relM+relM:ALT+(1|ID)+(1|ID:TRKPT2),data=vdata, control=list(usePQL=TRUE),family=poisson,method="Laplace")) Here, the habitat selection is calaculated using a so-called discrete choice model where each used location has a certain number of alternatives

Hi all, I am a beginner R user and need some help with a simple loop function. Currently, I have seven datasets (TOWER1,TOWER2...TOWER7) that are all in the same format (same # of col and headers). I am trying to add a new column (factor) to each dataset that simply identifies the dataset. Ultimately, I would like to merge all 7 datasets and need that column to identify what rows came from what

Hi all, Thanks is advance for any help you can offer - I just inherited a Samba file server in my new position, and am familiar with Samba, but no genius in it. The problem is that we need to upgrade our Windows 2003 domain, and our Samba server - version 3.0.10-1.4E won't connect to a Windows 2003 active directory. So, we have to leave a Windows 2000 DC running to authenticate to it.

It's OT but I thought it was funny enough to point out seeing this is a telephony list...... world wide data.....like the 'world series' of baseball if you ask me :-) Regards, Dean Collins dean at cognation.net +1-212-203-4357 (New York) +61-2-9016-5642 (Sydney) http://www.Cognation.net <http://www.Cognation.net/profile> ________________________________ From:

hello, I am absolutely new, means from non-IT sector but have attraction (developed recently) towards linux and have chosen the centos distro for the installation as an OS in my home PC for personal use. I went to the page: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386/ But don't understand amongst the variety of options there. I also don't know the technical terms like md5,

We have encountered an anomaly that appears to be related somehow to Samba. When users are moved to the new domain hosted by Samba4.3 then the numlock on their keyboards is always turned off when they log onto the domain regardless of its previous setting. This in itself is just a nuisance. However we have an application called SnetTerm, an ssh client, which will not recognise the numlock at
