, but still no real cause for alarm. However, if that number of sectors increases over time, then you have a sign of a failing drive and obviously would want to replace it ASAP. hth, ken ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] reading -- and editing -- ebooks

Last week I bought a couple books, not ebooks. I considered buying the ebook, but don't want to need a special device/appliance to read it. I'd much prefer to read ebooks on the Linux (CentOS) machine I'm already using. Also, I'd like to be able to programmatically convert the ebook into a format

[CentOS] totem: something wrong with gstreamer-plugins-ugly

When running totem to play a move (e.g. mpeg-1 file), it fails with the message: "A MPEG-1 System Stream demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed." After reading docs and trying various things I've reduced the source of the problem to the package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.
