Ekiga - camera
by Johan Vermeulen 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

dear All, when first installing CentOs some 6 months ago, I noticed this strange thing called Ekiga. Now, some guys at work use Skype and I heard that's owned by Microsoft. So enter James. I bought a webcam, actualy 2, to test Ekiga. Logitech Webcam c210. I saw this url :http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ on this url :http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/Webcams and in short : I think I have the driver i need --V4L2-- on my Centos6 machine. To make sure, I installed everything that came up under # yum search V4L2 with epel testing enabled. #dmesg | tail -n15 shows : usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0819 usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=2 usb 2-3: SerialNumber: CE6AA1D0 usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device<unnamed> (046d:0819) input: UVC Camera (046d:0819) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/input/input13 still in Ekiga i get error message ( translated from Dutch) : an error occurred with video device UVC Camera (046d:0819) an error occurred when opening the device blahblahbla check access rights or driver. under System - Preferences I can't find anything configurable ( is that even English ?) Can anyone help me configure something somewhere or whatever is needed ?

OKI B411 printer
by Bob Tennent 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

On a Centos-5.7 system, this printer works fine using a parallel cable but fails using the USB interface; the following appears on the CUPS page when I try to print a page: Unable to open device "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_6bc_268_AK11044671_if0_printer_no serial": Permission denied" Any suggestions? On a Fedora 14 system, the USB interface works, so it's not the printer. I've also tried another USB jack. Bob T.

Broadcom Wifi Problem
by Michael D. Berger 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g hardware on my dual-boot laptop. Note first that in the WinXP partition, the wifi makes DHCP connections to my router with no problem. Since this was not working in my new CentOS 6 partition, and remembering that there was a driver problem with the old Fedora partition it replaced, I followed instructions founs at: http://repecka.net/en/2011/04/19/install-broadcom-bcm4311-802-11bg-wlan- drivers-on-centos/ and http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt modifying for that fact that I use wlan0 rather than eth1. The wifi is now dead-in-the-water. The wlan light now remains red, and neither ifconfig nor iwconfig show any sign of wlan0 (contra to the situation before I installed the new driver). It still works in the WinXP partition. Suggestions for my next step in fixing this would be most welcome. Thank, Mike.

I can only find openmotif22 in centos 5 i386. x86_64 has a openmotif. A mistake I assume? Christian.

Broadcom Failure: Chg CentOS 6.0 to 5.7
by Michael D. Berger 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

After following various advice I received on other threads to get the Broadcom wlan0 on my laptop to work I have still not succeeded. Therefore I am changing from CentOS 6.0 to 5.7 . I think that I'll first try the fix at: http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod on 5.7 . Anyone have a reason why I should proceed differently? Thanks, Mike.

{SOLVED} Re: PDF Reader/Editor for CentOS 5.7 (32 bit)?

This is probably "overkill", but_it_just_works :-) Adobe Reader is only a "reader" as I assumed it would be. Some PDF readers can also fill in forms, do editing, etc., however not Adobe Reader. Another solution is to use a free online service, such as http://www.pdfescape.com/ and upload the file, fill in the form and/or edit the file, and then download it again. Possibly this thread will help someone else. Thank you, again, to everyone who replied and provided information and ideas! Lanny

6.1 Release
by TE Dukes 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

OK, So how can we help getting CentOS 6.1 released? This is a "Community" project. I'm not a programmer, IT person but I do ask a lot of help from this list. What do we need to do or how can the 'average person' help? Can you send us some files to test? What? I'd like to help but don't know how. Eddie
