Am a beginner to linux coding, so was just wondering if anyone knows
how difficult it is to code a flashy site like this http://www.xbox360.com.au/
[..]Shockwave Flash. Yuck. Crashed Firefox.
Strange, works just fine for me. What ff version are you running?
I do not know what ff I was running. I am in process of upgrading to RHEL5
and it is sure a can of worms. It installs pretty quickly, but configuring
it is a pain between the back pockets.
Installed CentOS 5 some time ago and had no big problem, unless
the distro kernel was pretty unstable. To rule out any hardware
problem compiled a recent kernel.org kernel and had no problems
since then.
My old (RHL9) version of PowerChutePlus sort-of works, but I cannot change
the configuration of anything. I guess I will have to use another UPS package.
Lots of stuff is not there, which makes running GnuCash difficult.
Flash does work with current (for RHEL5) FireFox.
I cannot find an Acrobat Reader that works, so I downloaded Xpdf, but that
needs a non-RHEL5 library (libXp) that I got from xorg-X11-deprecated... and
when that was installed, it worked, but it immediately updated to
libXp-1.0.0-8 from somewhere else.
Strange,
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/acroread
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1
It is from Adobe, be sure to turn of java script at first, but
then it seems to work quite well.
At some point, a lot fell apart. I cannot login as one of my users.
Actually, it does login but I get a completely black screen. Ctl-Alt-F1 will
get me a console, so obviously it is working. I looked at what was running,
and lots of desktop stuff is missing. No idea why.
I can login as myself, but the Nautilus thingie does not know anything about
file types, and tries to open them all with the same tool that does not work
for most things. This works for root user, though.
Dunno, KDE works fine so far. I had to edit xorg.conf a bit, to
make Xinerama working perfectly.
The small changes aren't that obvious, it takes some time to
mention you can now for example move a window inside the kpanel
virtual desktop preview from one to another. That was really
missing.
Also, I cannot make launching icons on the desktop. I go through the drill,
but it makes defective ones. This works for root user, though.
Obviously some kind of permission problems, but I cannot imagine what I may
have done. I have SElinux turned off.
Generally a good idea, I got at one point somehow bugged by
auditd and related stuff. But in total a pretty easy update.
Replaced 80GB hds with 250GB to have some more space and
did a fresh install.
