I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect my results. Yves I have no objection to your request, Yves. Unfortunately I am unable to edit the acl line for that page, so we'll need to wait for Ralph. (Unless Tru or Johnny will oblige?) Alan.

This is on a brand new installation of CentOS 6.2 x86_64. I suffered the same problem with Fedora 19 too. I have several Ubuntu Mac OS X machines that suffer no network connection problems I can connect to the InterWeb just fine (via two HP Procurve 2426s). But can you connect to the 'net via the newly-installed CentOS box? brian Yep, no problem at all. Ping all other network devices are working too. You have network connectivity but yum does not work. ping works, but yum does http. Maybe you need to configure a proxy? Have a look at a working Browser's Proxy Configuration. Another idea: check if you are able to resolve names via DNS. -- Markus ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That is what it looked like to me also, not that I could move anyting. In any case, [ESC] had no effect. I could use cntrl-alt-backspace to kill the session, but that seems too much like giving up.

Did you try unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in? (Obviously, if wireless USB, unplug the receiver) If you have gpm running for console mouse services, try restarting (or just plain stopping) that. It hasn't happened to me for a long time, but at one point for me gpm was occasionally getting into a bad state and turning off the mouse device, which would cause the X server to lose track of it as well. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Firewire 800 PCI-E card?
Hello All, I need to add a few Firewire 800 ports to the box I have running CentOS 6.4. I have an available PCI-E slot. Does anyone know of a Firewire 800 PCI-E card that is compatible with CentOS 6.4 out of the box? Jason ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
