Opera is slow on CentOS
by Gergely Buday 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Hi there, I am running various browsers on my CentOS 6.5. Firefox is running smoothly, especially with blocking flash animations. I recently installed Opera and I use Seamonkey for long, both suffers from being very slow. Does CentOS have any role in this? For your information I send cpuinfo, some people on #centos said that this could be the problem -- but then why Firefox flies? - Gergely $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 95 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1808.292 cache size : 512 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow up rep_good extd_apicid pni cx16 lahf_lm svm extapic cr8_legacy bogomips : 3616.58 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc

Cento 7: Color is not known to server (FOREGROUND) [No such file or directory].
by Frank Cox 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

I have installed both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick on this computer. Using the "display" command (from ImageMagick) to show any image gets me this message: display: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. No image shows up. Using the "gm display" command (from GraphicsMagick) to show any image gets me this message: gm display: Unable to load font (-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1) [Resource temporarily unavailable]. gm display: Color is not known to server (FOREGROUND) [No such file or directory]. gm display: Color is not known to server (BACKGROUND) [No such file or directory]. In this case, the image does appear. What does "Color is not known to server" actually mean? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

CentOS-7 kernel trouble
by Timothy Murphy 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

When I re-boot I get the message "A problem in the kernel package has been detected". I am asked if I want to report this, to which I respond in the affirmative; but I have no idea where this report goes, or if it can be read in some way. The boot continues, and the system seems to work, although on the last occasion it failed after 2 days, and I was unable to re-boot it, so had to re-install it (from the KDE LiveCD). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Cemtos 7 : Systemd alternatives ?
by Always Learning 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards). Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ? -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Centos, Exim, Apache, Libre Office. Linux is the future. Micro$oft is the past.

C6.5 - combine two DVD isos into one tree?
by tony＠softins.co.uk 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I have the two DVD isos for CentOS 6.5 mounted as loopback, on the mount points /centos6 and /centos6a, and am trying to use them for PXE/KS installation. The problem I have is that the packages in /centos6a/Packages are not found by the installer. The host is a CentOS 5 system. Is there a way for me to overlay the second DVD on the first without having to copy all the packages from both isos into a new directory? Or is there a standard path I can use to mount the second DVD that the installer will use for packages that are not found on the first? Or any other ideas? I'm sure I can't be the first to stumble over this! Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony(a)softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony(a)mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

List attitude and content
by Karanbir Singh 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

hi folks, Can we please: 1) keep it civil, be polite - if you have nothing meaningful to contribute to the thread, then dont contribute anything 2) Keep it on context, this isnt the place to talk about old hardware stories and personal fluffery like that. This is the CentOS users list, keep content to whats relevant to the CentOS users.

Disable auto window maximize
by Steve 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Job #1 for me with CentOS 7 is to disable the automatic window maximization. Some googling found this command: $ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize false No such schema 'org.gnome.mutter' and this: $ gsettings set orh.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false but that had no visible effect. I couldn't find anything under Applications->documentation and I didn't see anything in the on-line GNOME help manual. I looked under Applications->System Tools and Applications->Utilities. I found the Tweak Tool but didn't see anything in there either. Can someone point me to some documentation on how to do this? Thanks, Steve
