gnome-terminal / mutt / chars mixed up
by Henk van Lingen 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi, I have a little problem with characters/lines getting mixed up and I don't know where to look or how to google for a clue. I've a CentOS 4 system on which I use gnome-terminals. When I use mutt (mutt-1.4.1-10) in such a terminal, in some situations it mixes-up the lines in the terminal. It seems in some way it fails to 'refresh' all lines. For example, if I have a line bind index M current-middle in my .muttrc and I press 'M', it happens. Any ideas? I didn't have this prob with CentOS 3, using the same mutt conf.

Repost ----DPMS or hardware
by Sam Drinkard 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

List, Did not get any response from the first attempt, so thought I'd ask again. I've been bugged by the fact that the dpms function will not work on this machine, and perhaps now I have some clue as to why. Looking at the Xorg.0.log, I see where "Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)" which tells me perhaps this is the reason why it won't turn off the monitor. Also, this line prior to the other. `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/". That part I can maybe fix, but I have no clue what should be in the /dev/apm. The only thing that will happen is the monitor will go into screeensaver mode, or if no saver selected, it will do nothing, not even blank. What should the /dev/apm contain? Where does it pick up the info as to what should be in there, from a probe of the hardware? That said, does the fact that I'm using a custom video driver from ATI make any difference? Thanks for any help..... -- Snowman

Help Wanted With kPPP
by Glen Roy 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hi all. Firstly, I apologize if this question has been asked before, which I'm sure it has. I'm only new to Linux although I have been 'dabbling' for awhile now with Ubuntu, Fedora Core 4, SimplyMEPIS, Xandros to name a few. I found Centos 4.1 on the cover disk of the September issue of APC Magazine and thought I'd give it a go. I want to learn linux and thought this one was the most compatible with RedHat. I know Fedora comes close but I had a few headaches with it. Anyway, what I need to know is the following. I need all users to be able to dial into the Internet using either kppp or whatever without being asked for a root password. I only have dial-up, thanks to Telstra. I've searched for days and tried various things but no luck. Please help me out with simple, step-by-step instructions aimed at a new user. I tried changing permissions, creating dialout group and adding users but no luck. Hope to hear from someone soon in regards to this issue. PS: It doesn't necessarily have to be kppp but any easy to use dialer.

Sata DVD
by Sam Drinkard 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

List, Are Sata DVD drives/recorders supported in CentOS, and if so, what needs to be done to read/write to them. On my initial install, the machine would boot from the drive, but I wound up having to use a regular ide cd-rom drive to do the install. The drive in question is a Plextor 716. Sure a waste of a good drive if I can't get to it. Thanks.. -- Snowman

Users logged in vs. not
by Sam Drinkard 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I'm seeing a user logged in if I do a "who" but I find by looking at "last" that user logged out after 28 minutes. Is something not being updated for some reason? Netstat does not find the user logged in, nor are there any processes associated with that pty. ??? Sam -- Snowman

OT: EVDO cards / service with CentOS
by Barry Brimer 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with using EVDO high speed wireless broadband service under CentOS? I am looking for high speed / low cost internet connectivity for an office that is in an area without DSL or Cable. My idea was to use EVDO from either Verizon or Sprint with a PCMCIA to PCI adapter card that I could stick into a CentOS machine that is used as the router/firewall. If anyone has any specific experience with these, please let me know. Thanks, Barry
