Anyone know if mount_smbfs is broken in 6.1, I'm trying to run this: "mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.2 //nbritton@192.168.1.2/music2 /mnt/network/music/" And then it asks for my password, I type it in, and then I get this error: "mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error" I've had this same problem on another 6.1 box too... I can run this same

The Aspire One is one of those netbooks that have become so popular recently. I've installed CentOS on the hard drive model, and have been considering doing a wiki article about it, and probably will unless there are strenuous objections. The objections might come from the fact that outside drivers are required for wireless, webcam, sound, and even wired ethernet. I have an article on my

Hello: I've prepared information on the Acer Aspire One 522 netbook which I think is now ready to be added to the laptops section, http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops . I think that this model is different enough from the "old" Acer Aspire One that is should appear separately under the "Acer" heading. There are now over 20 different models called Acer Aspire One,

I tried isolinux 3.10-pre20 on an Acer Aspire 1501LMi notebook and a Shuttle FS-40 desktop box; it fails on both, simply hanging after printing the first line. Last known good version is 3.10-pre16; will try pre17-pre19 when I have some time.

Hi! I'm not a programmer, so I will try and be as clear as I can. I currently have an Acer Aspire One which has issues with syslinux 4.06 When I try and make a usb bootable install key using common automated programs under windows (Universal USB installer from Pendrivelinux, LiLi and unetbootin), they all fail when booted on the netbook. Now, I know it's an issue with syslinux for many

I'm hoping to get the VerbAce Arabic-English translation program (http://www.verbace.com/index.htm) running under Wine. I use an Aspire One netbook running the default Linpus OS. I installed Wine and was apparently able to install VerbAce (it shows up in the programs list on my desktop), but when I try running VerbAce nothing happens. This is a very small, simple program, and it should be

Hi, Anyone has tried to use pxechain with Etherboot? Here is my problem: The Etherboot client had no problem to get the list of install servers manual from the pxechain. But didn't matter which server was chosen, Etherboot client always tried to use the first server to do the installation. Etherboot 5.4 was used. What the problem may be? PXEchain or Etherboot? Thanks, Joyce --

So, I've mentioned that I've got an original netbook, circa 2009, and I'm going to put CentOS on it. 32 bit. Not huge disk, old Atom processor, not tons of memory. Any recommendations for a light-weight window manager? Before I went to KDE, I used fvwm2, and all I'm going to do is use it to read webmail and browse, read news, etc, so I don't need a lot. mark

Hi all! I'm running an up to date Centos-7 on my Acer Aspire One netbook. have been for, well, ever since C7 was released. Just had an event today that also happened 2 or 3 times with earlier systems installed, but I never pursued it. What happens is that suddenly while working away on the desktop the display suddenly goes black... not black as in turned off, I can see that the backlight is

:D Hi, I installed wine on ubuntu 10.10 to run a windows program as reported here (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22133&iTestingId=59338). After few trails I decided to reinstall Wine (now version 1.3.8 ), to configure it as instructed by the guide, and than to install again the windows application, Birthday Reminder. At present the application doesn't

I currently have my Acer Aspire One netbook set up with Fedora 11. I would like to change it over to Centos 5.4 if I can. I downloaded the Centos 5.4 i386 livecd image and made a bootable USB flash drive out of it. Unfortunately, when I boot off of that flash drive, Grub (I guess) immediately turns the screen entirely white. If I hit a key I can faintly see the outline of "Press tab to

I'm trying to run Heroes of might and magic 5 tribes of the east, All 2d and direct draw graphics works fine but not 3D graphics. Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit on an Acer aspire 5020 laptop. I have an ATI 700x Graphics Card. I'm not using the ATI Drivers

Hi, Folks -- I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection, consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry. How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0...? Thanks, -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing
