Vncserver not serving up my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal!
by Lee Parmeter 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

I have the vncserver running on CentOS 4, but when I log in using vncviewer from another box, I don't see my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal. I suspect I need to edit the ~/.vnc "xstartup file, but what do I add to fix this. On all other distros I have tried, the vncserver serves up my gnome desktop by default. -- Lee Parmeter Emperor, linXos - The Flying Penguin http://www.linXos.com Linux Registered User #337161 'It's free.

It's working fine to just re-compile the .src.rpm, except desktop-file-utils is not listed as a build dependency (but is required to build it). Best regards Michael Boman

OT: Powered by CentOS
by Franki 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any powered by CentOS logo's available for use on websites that are 'powered by CentOS' Sorta like this mandrake one: http://htmlfixit.com/icons/medbutton.png Always a good idea to promote the cause so to speak and once I've ugpraded my web server I'll be changing the icon and if there isn't a CentOS version, I'll have a go at making one. regards Franki

How do point releases work?
by Steve Snyder 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

I'm new to RHEL-like distros. When, say, CentOS 4.1 is released, will it simply be CentOS 4.0 + released updates in new ISO images? Or is it more than just the updated packages integrated into the full distribution? Put another way, if my 4.0 installation is kept up to date with YUM, will I basically have a 4.1 installation? Thanks.

Centos EOL changes
by Michael Rock 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Hi, has the end of life and yum update process changed for Centos? I want to stick with a release, but receive security updates to maintain stability on my critical servers. Last year I remember the plan being that if you picked 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 you could stick with it and automatically receive yum updates without changing anything. Then when 3.4 came out the Centos readme said if you were on 3.3 you would automatically be updated to 3.4 through yum. That never happened and I remember reading some where here it would not. Which was fine by me since I assume that was due to sticking to the original plan. But now it seems I have a 3.3-1 server that all of sudden looks like it wants to update to 3.4. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
