cant swith to text mode consoles
by Roger D Vargas 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

After installing xfce I switched to runlevel 5 to have a graphic login. But The login box (and xfce) doesnt let me switch to text consoles with ctrl+alt+F key. Also, xfce is the desktop for root, but for normal user still is an ugly windows manager. -- Roger D.

I need to setup my laptop external monitor at 1366x768 while my LCD is only 1024x768. Is this done by dual head selections in the display configuration? How is that accomplished? Thanks, Jerry

Re: [CentOS] SELinux threads, cynicism, one-upmanship, etc.
by Brian T. Brunner 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Thanks, Mike. What I read is that SELinux is still 'beta', and while the need for good security is decades old, we (CentOS/RHEL folks) should not be presumed to be willing beta testers. "Enabled by default" presumes I'm willing.

Yes, but when the box gets cracked _because_ they are using the latest new thing their distribution added under the guise of increased security, as happened with ssh a while back, it also produces the attitude that new stuff should soak a long, long while in a distribution like fedora before going onto production boxes. You want to at least wait until the surprises stop - and I take the flurry of reports of broken apps at every update as an indication that they haven't stopped yet. Your analogy to a weapon was a good one. When the experts tuning the distribution still can't keep it from blowing up in peoples's faces some of the time, normal people should keep their distance. When the fedora and Centos lists go several months without a mysterious app failure caused by SELinux it will be time to reconsider. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
