I've been a big fan of CentOS for a while, and didn't have many issues with CentOS 4.X over the past few years. However, since moving to CentOS 5.1 a few weeks ago, I have received more problem reports from my users than in the last year and a half on CentOS 4.X. I've previously reported the problem with gnome-terminal crashing (and since there is a single gnome-terminal

Ever since I upgraded all my systems to CentOS 5.1 I have been getting reports from users about "all their windows disappearing". A little digging revealed that they meant all gnome-terminal windows. Since there is only one gnome-terminal process by default for all your open terminal windows and tabs, a crash of that process means losing all your terminal windows. These

Hello, I just tried a gnome login with an empty home directory on a samba mounted directory, and this resulted in several files with strange characters in the filenames in the end. (as created by the initial gnome login) I cannot reproduce this by hand, and it certainly does not happen when I do the login on a local directory, or when I copy that local directory to the samba directory. I use

Hi, Does anyone know how to set umask such that nautilus actually obeys it? I have umask 002 added to the end of .bashrc, and if I touch a file from a gnome terminal, I correctly get -rw-rw-r--. However if I right click in a nautilus window and "create document" then "empty file" I end up with -rw------ which is obviously going to be a royal pita for group working! --

CentOS 5.1 - I have already executed 'yum clean all' but the error persists. What could be the problem? $ yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Group Process Setting up repositories Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Package gnome-panel - 2.16.1-6.el5.i386 already installed and latest

Hi, Today I noticed something strange. There seem to be a series of duplicate desktop menu entries in /usr/share/applications. Example: gedit.desktop and org.gnome.gedit.desktop Other example: nautilus.desktop and org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop This is annoying, since I usually edit some custom menu entries for my users. Now, if I edit both files for a single application, I end up with duplicate

I tried out KDE for a while, but eventually found that it was not to my liking. I've switched back to Gnome, but it seems to me that options I used to have in the panel aren't available anymore. I'm not totally sure, but isn't there supposed to be some sort of Gnome (Nautilus?) control center? A place where I can adjust the themes, screen savers, and that sort of thing? I

Hello, all my data are hosted by a server and exported with nfsv4. For example if a user logs in on a client, /home and /data are exported with nfsv4 and autofs. Now if the user delete some files, the trashcan under gnome doesn't change its status nor doesn't show the deleted files if opening the trashcan window. Also the user isn't able to copy or move files between the exported

Hello, I've on my home PC CentOS 6 and Fedora 13 on different disks. When I log on the gnome enviroment at Fedora knows exactly which programm was started at which desktop (for example: thunderbird on desktop 1, firefox on desktop 2, nautilus on desktop 3, ..). The same procedure on Centos takes all programs on the first desktop, so I must arrange the programs on the right desktop.

The gnome2 port is broken?

Does anyone have remote desktop connectivity working in CentOS 5.3? I'm using the Gnome desktop and have configured the Remote Deskop Preferences to "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop". The configuration dialog box says that "Users can view your desktop using this command: vncviewer

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me a little help trying to figure something out: I presently am running CentOS4.1 with GNOME as my desktop (It runs quite well, I must say!). I just have a little curiosity: I have a few audio files (.wav, .mp3 and .ogg) and I like to "preview" them. When run my mouse over the .wav files (and mp3 files) the

I am still trying without much success to get a desktop on my minimal + virtualization install of a CentOS-6.3 kvm host. When I run startx I get a desktop but other than the icons for computer, home and trash there is nothing displayed. I can right click the mouse and from there I can open a terminal window and creat a folder on the desktop but I have no title bar and no status bar. There are

I have a file which contains non-ASCII characters (umlauts, accented characters, etc.) both in its filename as well as its content. The only way I have been able to see these characters is inside vim, where they are displayed correctly no matter what I have LANG set to. My default LANG is en_US.utf8, but I have tried de_DE.utf8, de_DE.iso88591, and various others. In the output of a
