[CentOS] clicking on link in Thunderbird fails to open page in Firefox
This worked fine for years until I updated firefox and thunderbird recently. Now, however, when I click on a link in an email in thunderbird, rather than open the indicated webpage in firefox, nothing at all happens. network.protocol-handler.app.http in tbird's about:config specifies the executable /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh and running the latter at the CLI with a URL as an arg does work as expected: the spec'd URL is loaded into firefox. So I suspect a bug in tbird. Anyone else having this problem? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, known to happen to some (or many?) users. https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=43984 You can find a workaround in that forum thread.

That's how I installed 6.5 in a roll-around relay rack test stand... though Anaconda still isn't very robust. If it hits a retry during the install, it just crashes and exits instead of offering you a choice to try the file again. Then it won't save the crash report to the thumbdrive's persistent overlay so it can be reported to bugzilla once the install is complete and an internet connection is available. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Remove/deactivate the session and language buttons in login screen
Hi, I could remove session icon modifying the file: /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop I delete all content but not the first line ( [Desktop Entry] ) Now I have to figure it out the Language icon because after remove all language options in gnome.desktop file gdm is showing it anyway with English language option by default. My goal is hide this icon and the universal access preference as well. On 12/22/2013 04:26 PM, cbul...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm using centOS 6.4 with openbox as windows manager.

I click on a link in a email & it actually loads it in Chrome but then it freezes the whole machine. I can launch a terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F2 but can't get a prompt in order to actually do anything. My only recourse is a hard reboot via the mains plug. This has happened for the last few updates. If you get any joy from the Thunderbird people, please let me know.

[CentOS] Centos-compatible motherboards
Hi all! I'm toying with the idea of spending some Christmas money on a new MB and CPU to upgrade my desktop. Although I've always been partial to AMD chips, I'm tempted this time to find something Intel-ish, I5, quad core, or so. In looking at mommyboards at New Egg and Amazon, I find so many I am unable to make reasonable determinations regarding suitability, so am hoping some of you who have new(ish) intel-compatible boards could offer some hints. Also, I'd like to keep the cost of MB, CPU and RAM to no more (or little more) than $300-350. (seeing as how apparently mid-range I5 chips cost over 200 each, that may be a vain hope.) I expect that the newest ones may work with something bleeding edge like Fedora (et al), but I like centos for my desktop since it doesn't have the ridiculous churn rate of the more aggressive distros. I can't bring myself to relish the thought of rebuilding my main desktop twice a year (or even once a year). So, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Its got a 450W PSU, which is plenty. the only people that need 600W+ PSUs are running two or more high end video cards -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
