Accessing shell in CentOS 4 install
by Brendon Colby 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

Greetings, I'm having trouble accessing a shell when I boot into the installation of CentOS 4 (text mode). Alt-2 (which is where the shell should be started?) shows nothing (nothing any other console). How do I access the shell within the installation? Thanks. Brendon Colby

by Jay 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

Greetings When I start firefox or mozilla I get an hourglass for 3 seconds then nothing happends. Dropping to a terminal and typing firefox just returns to the command line. I re-installed firrefox and it installs fine until I quit then the same situation happends. After re-installing firefox it will run but the same situation happens where it won't start. I have installed int my home directory or into /usr/local/firfox. ( Cent OS 4.0 with all patches applied. Firefox 1.0.2 ) Ideas? Thanks -Jay

I created an account on the Forums this morning, but I got an error saying they were having a problem sending e-mail. I sent a message to the webmaster and no response either. So I can't post to the forum until my account is activated. Are the forums new? By the amount of traffic on the list, this must be where most people resolved their problems. I am thinkgng about installing CentOS 4 on my file server at home which is now running RH9. -- Lee Parmeter Emperor, linXos - The Flying Penguin http://www.linXos.com Linux Registered User #337161 'It's free.

Is this a known bug? Suprisingly google didn't turn up much. I'm running DDR RAM and a AMD XP processor on CentOS 4.

CentOS 4 and Intel P4 without Hyper-Threading vs. Intel P4 with Hyper-Threading
by Robert Hanson 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello Does anyone know of any possible concerns in moving a "production" CentOS 4 install from one machine to another where the "only" difference is that the processor changes from a 1.8 Intel P4 "without" Hyper-Threading to a 3.0 Intel P4 "with" Hyper-Threading ? I am guessing not, yet I "have to" ask. Regards, - rh

Where is .xsession-errors
by Hardy Beltran Monasterios 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hi Yesterday I was using OpenOffice Impress, doing many cut/paste operations with images, and without any notice/message/warning the application die. Then I look for ~/.xsession-errors file to see any signal about the problem, but I realized that ~/.xsession-errors is no longer present. This is a new behaviour of X.org ? I'm running CentOS 4 and XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 20040928112350 fabbione(a)fabbione.net) Release Date: 15 August 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.26 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 28 September 2004 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present OS Kernel: Linux version 2.4.27-2-686 (horms(a)charles.lab.ultramonkey.org) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-6)) #1 Thu Jan 20 11:10:41 JST 2005 Thanks for any clue -- Hardy Beltran Monasterios - www.hardy.com.bo hardy at acm dot org Usuario Linux #50949 - http://counter.li.org La Paz, Bolivia
