Thanks. in the past couple of months, i read an article at att.yahoo.com that oos had started rewriting their software so that it would not be compatible with gnu/linux servers. so, if you have updated linux and oos systems within past few months, i would give thought to relation of updates of both systems and when you started noticing slowdown. just 'swag', but may prove out. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc,hago. g . ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

"places.sqlite" when backed up as a bookmarks-*.json file, i do not believe, backup "history folders". imbw. if correct, backing up bookmarks, then restoring from *.json would restore bookmarks without history folders. tho it would be easier/quicker to just delete folders under "History" in "Library" window. problems with firefox may be easy to locate by using logging of "Browser Console", which is opened with . after opening, click on [Clear], then close "Browser Console", then firefox. next, try opening a hot link, after firefox crashes, open firefox manually, open "Browser Console", read what is shown to see what may be causing problem. also see hot link #5 bellow. following are a few of bookmarks that i have related to your problem, _if_ problem is related to "places.sqlite", as suggested. 1a- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:History 1b- http://kb.mozillazine.org/History.dat 2- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite 3a- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Places/ 3b- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Places/Database 4- kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes 5- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad again, after you get this problem solved, i will post easy way of archiving mozilla progs. hth. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc,hago. g . ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

'any who', because sata0 had oos 95 and no longer to be used, i wiped, partitioned, and formatted sata0 for install of centos 7. hopefully, this evening my ulcers will be calmed down enough so that any new surprises will not cause an ulcer to rupture. there may be some who believe that the new install process gui is 'super fine'. there are other names i could call it, but as long as the centos devs continue as they otherwise have, i will maintain and contain my other thoughts. ;-) "God willing and the creeks don't rise", tomorrow i will be enjoying centos 7. as a side question, what is a good way to get a list of _all_ packages currently installed to centos 6.6 so that i can install them to new install?

[CentOS] network automatically connecting on boot after new service installation
2 weeks ago, i had my internet service changed from copper DSL to fiber DSL. now, every time i reboot, internet connection is automatically connecting on boot. before last update to 6.6, i could configure connection, now i can not bring up configuration window to disable auto connect. because of uneasy feelings about leaving computer up when i leave home, i disconnect 'bell line' so that when i am gone and have a mains failure and ups shuts down, i will not have internet connected when mains restore. also makes for uneasy feeling when retiring for night. :-) what do i have to do to change this? any and all replies / suggestions greatly appreciated. tia. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates.

well, i guess i have 'Network Manager' if it is the network icon, aka,
"doodad", in the system tray. but it does not give config menu in
center of screen as i used to see.
your reply got my 'chemo brain' to thinking again about what is
presented for right-click.
with right-click, a settings menu pops up with;
[ ] Enable Networking
[ ] Enable Wireless
[ ] Enable Notifications
(i) Connection Information {grayed out}
[ ] Edit Connections
(i) About
Enable Networking and Enable Wireless must be checked to enable either
when icon is left-clicked and network _will_auto_connect_ after reboot.
if both are unchecked, left-click activates a grayed notice of
'Networking disabled' and network _will_not_auto_connect_ after reboot.

if only it would with out auto connect on reboot.
thanks again for reply. open to more suggestions.

A rather "old > school" approach that's worked pretty well for me all these years. i never said you had to use one partition for any files. multi partitions for / paths is not really "old school". it is a feature of "custom". you define what each partition is use for. ie, partition for boot, partition for swap, partition for /, partition home, partition for usr, partition for var, partition for home2, partition for what ever. -- peace out.

i agree with you 100%.
op inferred that i told him to put everything in 1 partition, which
i did not. so i was just telling him if he wanted to be 'old school'
he could partition what every his heart desired. ;-)
for my 'base' os partitioning is /boot, swap, /, /home.
all additional installs are /, swap, /home. after install if/and
install part 2 boot, i restart to base, i log in as root, copy
grub.conf into /grub of base /boot as grub.conf-newosname. then i
cut/paste lines into my main grub.conf. make notations in 'title'
line. next i copy base /root files that customize user root so i
have same 'root' operation across all installs. the i reboot to
new install and set it up.

your drive may be flaking.
back up drive with errs, run a non destructive test on drive.
do you have smartd running? if so, check /var/log/messages or
/var/log/syslog.
if you are not running smartd, start running smartd.

[CentOS] using rsync to sync desktop /home/user of to laptop /home/user
greetings, i want to sync my desktop home directory to my laptop home directory. i am using KDE for desktop. a problem that i foresee is the different screens between the 2. i synced using; rsync -a -u -v -e ssh /home/geo geo@192.168.1.5:/home/geo.new with intent of in laptop's /home; mv geo geo.org mv geo.new geo what files and directories in 'org' directory need to be copied to the 'new' directory so that i will maintain screen setup in laptop? thanks in advance. -- peace out. -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.

The configuration for KDE? . also, thank you for kicking my chemo brain in the butt. ;-) yes, i forgot about X being the wise and wondrous now. iirc, there used to be a file under /etc/X11 that had specs for keyboard, mouse, graphics card, monitor, language, etc, that one could make custom changes to if needed. several years back that got changed with auto probe. yes/no? therefore, my only real concern would be for progs like firefox, thunderbird and what else that is not standard with distrib, and have special files in /lib, /lib64, etc. y/n? as for icons and KDE configs, icons should be same as they are under /usr/share and i do want to have same/similar desktop window settings. long story to short, just try it. y/n? -- peace out. -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.

[CentOS] wicd problem 0: i have started having problems wicd and network connections
greetings, system: CentOS = 6.6 - current updates KDE = 4.3.4 Network Manager = 0.8.1 wicd = 1.7.0 (bzr-r552) from what i have read in threads, it appears that 'wicd' is recommended network controller over 'network manager'. because of this, i installed wicd and tried to use. i find this strange because i see problems when using 'wicd'. in attempt to understand what and where problem may be, i have tried various ways of checking for problem. to post what i have found, i am posting in 6 parts to hopefully make it easier for help in troubleshooting by breaking down what i have found. comments and suggestions most welcome. tia. -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.

[CentOS] wicd problem 2: wicd does not sync when ifconfig commands are given from a terminal
greetings, during past week or so, i have been having problems with mozilla firefox locking up kde desktop and i have to open a terminal to reboot system. to insure that i get kde back to a desired state, i make backups of ~/.kde path when ever i change any settings of kde. after system reboots and desktop manager is displayed, i to terminal, delete current ~/.kde, then copy ~/.kde-backup to ~/.kde. while in terminal, i run 'ifconfig' to see if network is connected, which it is, so i 'sudo ifconfig eth0 down' to disconnect. after starting kde, wicd icon in system tray is showing wicd has connection to network, which it does not. when i click wicd icon and then select 'disconnect', and close wicd window, then reopen wicd and select 'connect', there is no connection. a 3rd problem i see with 'wicd' is in post "Subject: wicd problem"; 3: wicd blocking 1st attempt connection for firefox and yumex -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.

[CentOS] wicd problem 1: wicd allows network to be connected on reboot
greetings, i find this strange because i see problems when using 'wicd'. 1st problem is that wicd allows network to be connected on reboot, even when network is disconnected at time of reboot. such does not seem to be good because i leave system up 24/7/365 and if there is a mains failure and ups takes system down, system will come back up with network connected, which i prefer not to have happen. is there a way to set up 'wicd' so that it does not start connected? a 2nd problem i see with 'wicd' is in post "Subject: wicd problem"; 2: wicd does not sync when ifconfig commands are given from a terminal -- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.
