file managementttttttttttt
by Michael Hennebry 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Last week, I installed CentOS 6 yet again. I took the default desktop: gnome. Whenever I open a directory, I get a new window. That gets rather annoying, especially when I have to drill down several levels. Is there around that behaviour? If it's in edit->preferences, I didn't find it. Eventually I expect to change desktops. Until then, any ideas? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily

Saving Workspace State
by Michael B Allen 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Is there a way to save the position and workspace locations of at least terminals on logout? I want to have many workspaces with 2-3 terminals each for editing code and scripts and ssh and so on. The System > Preferences > Startup Applications > Options > Automatically remember running applications when logged out doesn't work. And gnome-session-save doesn't work either. I used to use Fedora 14 and it saved the session state fine. But now I cannot recall how to do it. I know GNOME 3 removed that code (the GNOME developers now believe that the applications should remember their own state) but I was hoping CentOS still has this capability. Is it possible to save GNOME desktop session state in CentOS 6? Mike

Maybe you're opening files via Locations". Try Nautilus ---- Applications - System Tools - Filemanager. Greetings, J. Amit Joshi <fan_gnr(a)yahoo.com>schreef: >Its rather simple.

Its rather simple. There is an option to choose open all new folders in a browser window.

Re: [CentOS] [SOLVED] Suspend Failure on Toshiba Portege R935

So it seems any USB > connection breaks suspend. It seems I have fixed the problem! If I disable the following things in the BIOS, suspend / resume works: USB Legacy Emulation: disabled Bluetooth: disabled Web Camera: disabled Internal USB3.0 Controller: disabled I don't know which one was responsible. My guess would be USB 3.0. But it's 3 AM and I have to give up and declare victory. Hopefully someone finds this useful. Otherwise, sorry for the noise. Mike

Suspend Failure on Toshiba Portege R935

Note that suspend worked fine on this machine with the previous install (Fedora 19). dmesg shows the same sequence of "now offline" and then immediately "switching to UP code": sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Stopping disk sdhci-pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: PCI INT A disabled snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A disabled ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: PCI INT A disabled e1000e 0000:00:19.0: PCI INT A disabled e1000e 0000:00:19.0: PME# enabled e1000e 0000:00:19.0: wake-up capability enabled by ACPI i915 0000:00:02.0: power state changed by ACPI to D3 ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3 Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

Module signed with unknown public key
by Timothy Murphy 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

I recently had a hard disk failure on my CentOS-6.4 server. I re-intalled CentOS on a second disk, and this is working fine. But I put together the old system - most partitions on the old disk could still be read - and made a working system. But when I re-start this system I get the above message many times. (Also I can only login in text mode, and when I run startx I get the error "Fatal server error: no screens found." And ifconfig only gives the lo interface; it does not show eth0 and eth1, so I am unable to access the internet.) But how can one "sign" a module? I googled for this, but all the suggestions were about signing modules while compiling them. It seems odd too that the error message does not tell me which module it is referring to. But the error is repeated about as many times as the number of modules listed by lsmod, so I guess every module is wrongly signed. Any enlightenment on this subject gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

2 routes & 1 destinations

Hi, At office, we have I ISPs. I want to lightly monitor each link latency in order to decide several routing. For that, I have only one external server: 1 IP, it's an OVH dedicated server. The quick picture is http://s24.postimg.org/n3436z64l/defaul_route.png Default route is via ISP1. If OVH-server pings IP1: - the request will go through ISP1: it's OK - the reply will go through ISP1: it's OK If OVH-server pings IP2: - the request will go through ISP2: it's OK - the reply will go through ISP1: it's KO because the metric will involve ISP1 How could I tell the Office gateway (CentOS 6) "IF you reply to a ping request from the OVH server that came on IP2 THEN route it via IP2" -- +261 34 81 738 69

CentOS as Development Laptop?
by Michael B Allen 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hi, Is CentOS good for a desktop machine? I have been using Fedora but the whole GNOME 3 debacle has me scrambling for something else. I have a few "minimal" CentOS servers but does anyone here use CentOS on their laptop? Does wireless and suspend work ok? Are there packages for the usual desktop stuff like libreoffice, sylpheed and so on? Machine is Toshiba Portege R935. It's about a year old so it's properly "aged".
