Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.3 - KDE login screen configuration problems
by Mike Watson 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

The last reply to this subject said to modify /etc/sysconfig/desktop to change GDM to KDM. This would then enable the KDE login screen instead of the default Gnome. However, when I checked my CentOS 6.3 system, there was no such file, no /etc/sysconfig/desktop. I've not been able to find any method to enable KDE login in 6.3. The method mentioned in the earlier reply was for CentOS 5, not 6. Any further suggestions? mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

Possible repo polllution
by Tony Molloy 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

Hi, I've just been checking my local copy of the CentOS repos. I found 200+ i386/i686 packages in both the updates/5/RPMS and updates/6/Packages directories. I checked with my rsync site ( ftp.heanet.ie ) and the equivalent UK site ( ftp.mirrorservice.org ) and they both carried these packages also. Is this a case a repo pollution, it can't be necessary to have i386 packages in the x86_64 updates. Just checking before I delete these packages. Thanks. Tony

Eventually got it installed on my older Fujitso/Siemenns laptop. The DVD1 did see the card but refused to activate. Yes I have the time but not the know-how to rewrite "bad" software. Centos software not as user friendly as I expected. Will now move on. Now busy downloading Fedora 18 Beta. Yesterday got a Linux Mag with a DVD containing Mint 13 KDE, Bohdi 2, Pear 5. Saw on the mailing list that Debian wheezy Beta4 now available. Will download and test. Have plenty to keep me busy. Thankyou for your time to let me have a look see. Regards JohanS.

libreoffice
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

CentOS 6.3, libreoffice-core-3.4.5.2-16.1.el6_3.x86_64, running kde I had a couple of documents up. From a terminal window, I ran soffice to look at a document I'd just received in an email*. Looked at it. Killed the soffice session... and the other docs closed, and libreoffice shut down. Anyone else seen something like this? mark * For extra measure, I know that I've put *.docx in system-settings->file-associations->applications, yet if I try to open it with a click from t-bird, it tells me it has no clue how to open it. What have I missed...?

The installation was a DVD1 install. The internet is via a direct cable out of my laptop direct to a DSL modem. Even tried my cell-c modem (cell phone provider) which works on all the below OS'ses. I am a pensionar and have lots of time. Experimenting with different flavours of linux each on a external USB drive. Like suse, mandriva, debian, mint, debian-mint, ubuntu, fedora, magaia, bodhi, arch-linux, centos. Up to date only arch-linux and now centos refuse my internet connection. I appreciate your responses but if it can not be done, that is a pity, then it is fine. Regards JohanS

opennx wants to replace nxclient on all my CentOS 6 servers
by Greg Bailey 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Looks like opennx appeared in the extras repository some time recently. Because the extras repository is enabled by default, all of the servers where I have nxclient installed are showing opennx as available which will obsolete nxclient. I went ahead and upgraded on my laptop but the resulting opennx installation didn't launch properly. I'm now modifying my yum configurations everywhere to add exclude=opennx Without diving into the merits of whether I should be using nxclient from nomachine.com or the open-source opennx, I'm concerned that I ended up with a broken NX client and I don't remember seeing an announcement that this software package was added to extras. Is that information communicated via a mailing list that perhaps I'm not subscribed to? thanks, Greg
