gconftool-2 not setting exec_ats
by Jerry Geis 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I am using gconftool-2 to setup exec_ats and it is not taking it? Specifially I am doing: gconftool-2 -t list --list-type string --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/startup/exec_ats "[/home/user/myprogram]" then when I look at it in the gconf-editor nothing is there... What is it I am missing... I have many other bool type settings that work fine. Thanks in advance. Jerry

Boot hangs at Initializing hardware...
by Phil Schaffner 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Anyone else having problems with 4.2 with the boot hanging at Initializing hardware... storage network ? Booting to single user or typing 'I' for interactive startup does not help. Not a timeout problem - hangs 'forever' - days at least. Did a complete reinstall and rebooted OK, did updates and the boot started hanging again. Same problem with either the 4.2 standard installed kernel-2.6.9-22 or the updated 2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported kernel. May be related to audio as that is the next thing to be initialized after network. Looks like BZ 172920 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172920 Both Knoppix 4.0.2 and Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 live-CD distros seem to work OK on the same hardware, as have RH 7.3-FC1/2/3, WBEL3, and CentOS 4/4.1. The problematic system is an IBM A21p notebook with (according to Knoppix lspci) Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 using module cs46xx. Doesn't really need sound as it is currently acting as a print-server for a color Laser, but haven't figured out how to get it to boot under CentOS to work the problem. Will try mounting the disk from a Live-CD boot and play with config files next. Phil

John, I realize I can change the setting there using the mouse to select the applications, system setting login screen, etc... (i am also using 4.2) - however, I wish to do this with gconftool on the command line. When I setup a machine I do not want to take the time to set it up using the mouse. just run a quick command that uses gconftool to do it along with other things.... Jerry

gconftool
by Jerry Geis 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I am using gconftool to set a number of parameters up automatically... However, the one parameter I cannot find is under root you should be able to set the "automatic login" on first boot up. This found under "Applications", "System settings", "Login screen", then automatic login. Can someone point me to that setting? THanks, Jerry

rsync to a port other than 22
by Ed Morrison 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I am trying to use rsinc to tranfer my ftp directory from one server to another. I have port 22 closed off due to port knocking and I am trying to direct rsync to use another port. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to use the specified port. Here is my command, if someone could point out my error I would appreciate it: rsync -avr --port=XXX xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/ftp /var/ftp The error this generates is: ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359) Thanks, Ed

John, Sorry for the missunderstanding... I am not trying to have root auto login. I am trying to auto login a differnet user. I was just pointing out that root had to set that setting up. The user cannot do that... Sorry for the confusion. Jerry
