Re: Disk Error: failed command: READ DMA EXT

Thanks for your replies. I ran smartctl on the disks and no errors were reported. I also have another disk (same exact type) and it reports the same problems. Because three fairly new disks are all reporting the same problems, I'm somewhat reluctant to blame the hardware. However, it could be a cabl...

Disk Error: failed command: READ DMA EXT

I have an ASUS Sabertooth X58 system board (2010) and two newer hard drives (HGST 6-TB) running CentOS. After booting, the hard drives work well for some amount of time. Then, during heavy usage, I hear some loud clicking sounds, and after that access to the hard drives hangs for 20-30 seconds. When...

Play Audio From Line-In to Speakers

How can I play the audio that is currently coming into the PC on Line-In (or
microphone)? I want to output it to the speakers. What's the easiest way to
do this? (I'm running CentOS 6.4)

Re: Huge Fonts

I read the documentation. Did you? It doesn't say anything about obtaining large fonts.

Re: Huge Fonts

Yes, If I try OpenOffice, I can choose 80 point fonts as well. That's interesting. So, does anyone have an idea why OpenOffice has access to the large fonts, but an application like Perl/Tk doesn't?

Can I somehow make those large fonts available to Perl/TK?

Re: Huge Fonts

I'm on a Desktop system running CentOS 6.3 64-bit. I use Gnome. I want to use the larger fonts in a Perl/Tk application, not anywhere else.

Huge Fonts

I need really huge fonts on my CentOS 6.3 machine. Is there any package available via yum that has large fonts (larger than 36-point size)?

Thanks

Machine won't boot after fresh install

I have a two year old Intel-based machine with several hard drives and partitions. I installed CentOS 6.3 on a partition and everything seemed to go okay during the install process. However, at the end of the install, it asked me to reboot and I did, and the machine doesn't boot into CentOS, or even...

Re: xloadimage: Build flags?

Wait, never mind. I figured it out" rpmbuild -ba ****.spec. It's all in: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM.

That worked and was as fast as original. Thanks!

Re: xloadimage: Build flags?

Thanks again for replaying. I downloaded the src rpm file from EPEL, and built it, but it doesn't run any faster then the version I compiled already. What I'd really like to know is how was the version in EPEL built? What were the compile flags? The reason is that the xloadimage executable that inst...
