Does there exist *anywhere* a Java web browser plugin for 64-bit FireFox? The SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK (jdk-6u18-linux-amd64.rpm) does NOT include the Java web browser plugin library. java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.2.b09.el5.x86_64.rpm does not have one either. Should I install the *32-bit* SUN 1.6<mumble> JDK and use the 32-64 bit wrapper? I've searched the web and read the wiki

SOMEbody on this list must have this combination working by now. How does one enable the firefox jre plugin for Sun's x86_64 distribution? Every site that I can find refers to making a link to a now non-existent plugins directory under the jre installation directory. The official firefox plugin pages refers to the existence of a Sun x86_64 jre but provides no details on how to enable it.

I have a page where I document getting the increasingly popular AR5007EG Atheros wireless card working. (This is the card used in the Asus EEE PC). The current article covers several distributions, but would be modified to just cover CentOS. It does, however, involve getting third party software, as the rpmforge repos don't have the necessary drivers. (Apparently, it's a bit of a

Hello Group, I am trying to build one VMware VM for 5.7 centos. However, there are two DVDs. And all vms I have build so far are confined in one iso. How could I build complete 5.7 centos VM with two different Centos DVDs. I am sure somebody out there must have built one such OS. Please guild. thanks. nagrik

With invaluable help here, I've just gotten 6.0 onto a PC. I went through the listings in PackageKit, removing things I know I'll never use; ran yum update; installed Opera; went to the epel, rpmfusion, and one whose name slips my mind (It's a new name.); enabled them all; and tried to get a lot of my regular apps : [....] Setting up Install Process No package dillo

Akemi-san has suggested that I turn the following post into a wiki article. (The article would be a bit better organized, since if one bothers to follow the thread, you'll see that I found that one can use the pcf2vpnc in Dag's rpm without worrying about having a plain text password.) http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18444&forum=38&post_id=67625 If

A question on authorship and attribution policy for the Wiki. I originally credited Alan Bartlett for the page content on HowTos/ConfigureNewVideoCard, but he was not comfortable with that and the reference got removed in the edit process. I generally do not include my name on Wiki pages I create, but it is fairly common practice. Should there be a statement in the Guidelines covering this

I'm in yum dependency hell using epel, rpmforge and rpmfusion repos to install vlc on 32 bit Centos 5.5. Anyone have a better idea? Doesn't really have to be vlc I just want to be able to play a dvd and Movie Player complains about missing plugins without saying what they are.

I tried to install Google Chrome and received the dependencies error. Is Centos too old for the new Chrome or is there an older Chrome version that is compatible? Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Hi Please create a page on the wiki for a HowTo with the subject: "How to back up a running KVM guest" This will explain how to use LVM to take a snaphot of a KVM guest's virtual hard drive and rsync it to a remote backup server. I have a prototype running but there are still many issues to be resolved affecting performance, security, reliability, automation. I intend to
