Re: [CentOS] Auto-installing security updates?
pfff only for office, if you wound a multimedia sistem with the reason mentioned in the mail before this reply centos is not for desktop, i preferred fedora 10, fedora have only 1 lack, have the software too much updated for my taste, but this is minor problem 2009/5/20 Ralph Angenendt ra+cen...@br-online.de ra%2bcen...@br-online.de Equinox86 wrote: yes centos is not for desktop it's guaranteee, if you don't have much time and want a distro updated at last release, if you have much time to spend to recompile dependences i advice use slackware, is fast and desktop friendly, similar to swiss knife. I still call this bullshit. CentOS is perfect for a Desktop which is used for Mail, Web and writing Office documents. Much better than all the distributions which you have to completely update every year or so.

I don't think it is the right distro for non techies. Why? I set up my in-laws with Linux Mint (running KDE, of course) and they could even handle installing the codecs and other non OSS stuff. Mint is a nice distro based on Ubuntu. And force them to update the complete Distribution every other year?

Re: [CentOS] no snd-hda-codec.ko in CentOS 5.3 is that ok ?
did you try see the permission on: ls -l /dev/dsp ls -l /dev/audio and ls -l /dev/snd/ ? alsamixer what say? lsmod provides the correct module of your soundcard? 2009/5/16 Colonna Francois francois.colonna_ces...@upmc.fr Hello, When I was running CentOS 5.2 (and other Liuux distribution) on an Asus W2J laptop, I never get sound. I upgraded to CentOS 5.3. Now the sound card is recognized and plays the test sounds. I checked channels with alsamixer, mix, kamix I still have no sound using aplay alsa command or whatever else audio display. Trying to check my configuration I discovered that the snd-hda-codec.ko is missing : modprobe -l | grep hda gives /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko Is that the reason why I have no sound ?

I don't want it repaired, now, but maybe later on. I can't shutdown the system and reboot in single user-mode.
