Are these steps for re-installing Gnome correct/safe?
by Dave Gutteridge 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in X, like my xorg.conf file. I just want to reset my Gnome interface back to how it was when I first installed it. I'm thinking the steps I need to take are roughtly these, but it would be great if someone could verify that these will be a non-destructive way of getting Gnome back to it's original state: 1. Stop X (By running telinit 3 at a command prompt?) 2. Use YUM to remove Gnome and KDE (#yum remove gnome kde?) 3. Use YUM to install Gnome (#yum install gnome?) 4. restart X (#telinit 5?) Could someone clarify if I have the commands right, and if this process is safe to undertake? Dave

trying to recompile
by Andrew Zahn 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi All, I am trying to recompile the stock kernel to include XFS. At install time of the OS I select to install the kernel source code however I do not have a /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-smp directory. I then learned you must run "yum install kernel-sourcecode" to properly install the source. When I run the command this is what happens ( see below) . The error I get is: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 443e1821 public key not available for qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3.i386.rpm does anyone know what to do at this point?

by duffmckagan 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I know that this is not a Cent OS centric question, but still. I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 on Cent OS 4. Does anybody knows the solution for the Kicker Bug? Whenever I Log-Off, I get an Error saying that Kicker has crashed. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

YUM and RPM often freezes my computer
by Dave Gutteridge 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Sometimes when I attempt a YUM install, it will get to the point where it is looking for packages to install, and my hard drive will make a lot of noise, but there is no progress. My mouse cursor freezes, and I can not switch between programs or kill the process. Eventually I have to reset the computer in order to get control back. The same thing will also happen when I install an RPM. When it checks for dependancies, it will freeze up my computer in the same way. This happens about 50% of the time. However, after resetting and rebooting the computer, if I attempt the same install again, it will work fine. Also, this may or may not be related, but in the case of YUM, when it's installing multiple RPMS, sometimes it will install only some of them, and then stop, without any explanation. If I repeat the install, then it will install the remaining packages, and complete the process. Any possible explanations for this behaviour? Dave

Poprelayd parser released for Dovecot on RHEL 4
by dan1 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi all. For those of you who are interested by using Poprelayd, I just made a fix today for using Dovecot and sendmail with poprelayd. Poprelayd allows you to log the IP addresses of people logging in through POP and allowing them to send e-mails using your smtp server (allowing relaying) for 15 minutes. It is very handy. You can download the parser here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=21494 It is just a little info that might be useful for some people. Kind regards, Daniel

configuring a program vs installing rpms (giftui)
by Dave Gutteridge 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

I decided to try the program giFT, and went to their web site to see what to do. It wasn't clear at first that any RPMs would be available, so I tried installing it using configure, make, and make install. It was only after trying to find a GUI interface, and I decided on giFTui, that I discovered that RPMs were available. So I downloaded and isntalled them, and then found an incon in my Applications menu. Unfortunately, clicking on the menu to start giFTui doesn't start the program. I get a little notice in the bottom of the screen saying that giFTui is starting. And then it goes away and the program hasn't started. Is it just that giFT, or giFTui, is unstable, or did I mess things up with my previous attempts to manually install the program? And is it possible for me to tell which is the problem? Dave
