No more support for chrome/chromium on rhel6
by Robert Arkiletian 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

https://plus.google.com/u/0/100132233764003563318/posts/Y1s6T44Soby Not 100% this is true but the problem apparently is that rhel6 uses an old version of gtk2. If this is true, then it affects my school and my students. I like google-chrome and it works very well with google services. I was planning on using C6 for a long time. Does anyone know of a repo that intends to keep Chromium working for C6? -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada

Re: [CentOS] sieveshell fails to start on CentOS 6.0

Try specifying both --user and --authname as appropriate. sieveshell can be misleading in its error messages, and you may actually have an authentication error rather than a connection error there. You could run it under strace to make sure. Devin

Size limitations in .htaccess
by Max Pyziur 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Greetings, It seems that I've hit a size limitation when adding unwanted IPs to a "Deny From" line. Is there any place where this is specified? Also, if I hit the max length on a "Deny From" line, can I add another "Deny From" line? (Running CentOS 6, and the following version of Apache: httpd-2.2.15-28.el6.centos.x86_64) Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Cannot get Centrino N 6200 wireless NIC to work Cento 6.4
by Selwyn Schultz Sr 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

I installed Centos 6.4 on my laptop and neither of the network interfaces will work. When I boot up to windows both the wired and the wireless network interfaces work. I have attached dmesg output for the wireless card. Reading through the messages it appears that OS cannot talk to the NIC. -- Selwyn Schultz selwynsr(a)gmail.com c. 616-836-8896

Need a Centos 6 USB hard drive recovery procedure
by Rock 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

My 15GB backup USB drive somehow got "corrupted" such that a "chkdsk /f E:" on WinXP removed the file allocation table (or whatever) making the NTFS drive appear empty. I tried Windows Recuva freeware to recover the files, and it has been working for 24 hours; but it has dumped about 65,000 files into a separate flat Windows directory. http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/12892041/img/12892041.jpg Since none of the files were deleted or written over, is there a method on Linux that will simply recover the missing file allocation directory structure instead of dumping a hundred thousand files into a single directory?

OT: Script Help
by James Pifer 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file. I have a long file that has lines like this: some text some text2 CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4 And this repeats, but XYZ changes. "DATA" is always called data. (it's being renamed basically) I need to change the middle line but leave the rest of the file as is like this: some text some text2 CN=XYZ_DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4 Anyone know a quick way to do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, James

Frustrated. Java on Centos 6 doesn't give an error message when downloading from a Samsung Galaxy S3
by Rock 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

SUMMARY: Maybe this all boils down to "how do we debug when Java fails on Centos 6? DETAILS: If you don't have the Samsung Galaxy S3, then you might not realize how frustratingly difficult it is to transfer multiple files from the smartphone to Centos 6. It should be as simple as hooking up a USB cable and dragging and dropping (which it is, on most other smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S2, which has USBMS mode still intact). Note: I don't have a microUSB card, so that isn't an option and I have no desire to transfer the personal photos to the cloud just to get them from the phone to Centos, nor to install Wine and/or a virtuoal OS just to do something as simple as transfer files. On the Samsung Galaxy S3, you can go all day to Settings->More Settings-> but there is nothing for "USB" anywhere anymore. Unfortunately, [url=http://androidforums.com/computers/499522-looking- linux-file-transfer-tool-android-4-0-devices.html]Google has apparently disabled USB transfer in the Android OS 4.0[/url] and above and replaced it with MTP file transfer. So Windows recognizes any ICS device plugged in, and Mac does too (via Android File Transfer); but Centos does not. Anyway, [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? topic_id=39977&forum=57&post_id=182904#forumpost182904]the workaround[/ url], is to use Kies Air to transfer the files over the air via WiFi from the phone to the Centos PC. This works - but that brings up the problem of [b]multiple[/b] files. The Kies Air gui for transferring multiple files at once is trivial (you just check "all files"); but it doesn't work. There is no error message. There are no warnings. There are no indications whatsoever; it just doesn't transfer anything. If you use the exact same procedure to transfer a single file, it works just fine. Googling for "Kies air won't download multiple files", I find a bazillion others have this problem - but most answers simply say to "install Java" on the host PC. For example: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIESAIR/JSP Q: I cannot send multiple files at once A: Need to install Java – downloadable from the Java homepage (www.java.com ) in order to transfer multiple files at once or to upload a file over 100MB. So maybe this whole frustrating task of downloading multiple files from the smartphone to Centos hinges on debugging Java. Here's where I'm lost though. I know nothing about Java. What does "install Java" mean for Centos 6? Is that icedtea? [b]Q: How can I get an error message if icedtea isn't working when I try to transfer multiple files via Kies Air?[/b] [img]http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/13140568/640/13140568.png[/img]

NCFTP eliminar directories no vacios
by Rodrigo Pichiñual Norin 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

Hola a todos, no se si esto es posible, la verdad es que ncftp me parece muy util y eficaz, pero lo unico que le puedo criticar es que no puedo eliminar directorios que no estan vacios... estaba viendo la documentacion y al parecer esto es posible si configuro el servidor al que accedo desde mi maquina local(CLIENTE) habra alguna manera? Gracias
