similar to: gdm won't start

Here's another data point regarding the GDM problem I'm having. Once again, I get this on the console: There was an error loading the theme Default Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png' Yesterday I needed to edit some graphics I had done for a job. I use gimp. Now gimp tells me: Image type 'png' is not

I'm doing a new install, and everything seems to have gone fine apart from the incredible amount of time it's taken. It does have 6 x 4TB drives in RAID6 and I am installing from a USB DVD drive as I had no SATA ports left, but this is getting rediculous. I chose a simple install (the one above file and print server) and added Postgresql but that was about it. It took over 5 hours

CentOS-6.0 I created an lv (120 Gb) to hold the image of a KVM guest instance. I mounted this at /var/lib/libvirt/images/lv_guest01. When I do a df I see the lv is mounted at the desired location. When I run the virtual machine manager from the desktop I am given the option to install the image into the root directory tree or to browse for an alternative location. When I browse to the mount

The permissions are apparently set incorrectly on the vnc SRPM in the FastTrack repo on mirror; I get "permission denied" when I try to mirror it. Thanks. Josh Kelley

We upgraded from Samba 3.0.24 to 3.0.25a over the weekend and rebooted all of our clients afterwards. Since then, some of our clients are randomly getting the following error: "Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied." Unmapping and mapping the network drive fixes the problem, but one

I am using a Samba 3.0.21a share to centrally access my source code from multiple Windows workstations. Everything works as expected (in Samba), but there is a slight (but annoying) problem with the modification timestamp of the files on the Samba share. While I have verified that both server and workstation are synchronized to the same time (using NTP), it seems that there is a few milliseconds

i''ve managed to get 2009.06 installed in a Xen DomU on Linux Dom0. it''s currently ''up'' with a static IP, and i can successfully ssh into the box as either root or ''myuser''. all network/login settings seem to survive reboot. i''ve set up for VNC to the DomU. i can connect, and am at the Gnome login window. but, neither

Hi, I'm trying to install version 4.0 from the CD that came with my GPS unit. I'm able to run Setup.exe and get to the initial startup menu. The links to visit the Garmin website and exit the installation work fine but when I click the one to install the app I get the hourglass cursor for a fraction of a second, like it's starting to do something, but nothing happens. This is my first

Hi, I have a problem with R; it won't start! I've installed it fine, no problems, but when I try to run it the mouse cursor changes to an hourglass for 1 second and back to normal, and that's it, it doesn't start up. No error messages or nothing. I run Windows XP Pro. by the way. I'd be thankful for any help. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm running Samba 3.0.21a (blastwave build) on Solaris 9. The Solaris servers have no printers attached or accessible, just file service. Samba users authenticate off a Win2003 AD controller and get printing from that. I got rid of the "Unable to connect to CUPS Server" errors by adding to smb.conf the line printing=bsd but I am still getting smbd[4809]: [ID 702911 daemon.error]

I have two computers both of which are running Windows XP SP2. R 1.9.1 runs just fine on one but not the other. Both installations of R came from the same installation package. When I click on the desktop icon an hourglass shows up then disappears. Similarly, if I start RGUI the process shows up in task-manager then abruptly disappears. Interestingly, I can access R in Excel via the D(COM) Server

Is anyone using sk98lin Gigabit Ethernet adapters under CentOS 4.x? The version of the driver that ships with CentOS 4.x kernels was too old to support the onboard NICs on some Intel server boards that we recently got, so we installed a newer driver using DKMS. However, we're having problems finding a stable driver to use: the first version that we tried (7.09) gave a kernel panic when I ran

I'm having a very strange permissions problem with Samba 3.4.7 (installed via backports.org) running on Debian Lenny: If a Windows 7 or Windows Vista client tries to use Windows Explorer to access a user's home directory with permissions 0700, the client gets a permission denied error. If the directory is made world readable, it works. (For one user, group readable also works. For

I'm not sure when this problem first occurred - it is many months since I last editted a sieve filter. I am certainly several versions of Thunderbird and, probably, a few versions of Dovecot on from when I last editted a sieve filter. However, I do know that I have done so in the past. I have just built Dovecot 2.2.13 and Pigeonhole 0.4.3, installed and running on Slackware 14.1 x64. I

Since upgrading from 3.0.24 to 3.0.25a this past weekend, network drive connections are randomly being closed and immediately reopened. This creates "Delayed write failed" errors for Firefox and Thunderbird, various errors for Outlook with its PST files on network drives, and errors from programs like InDesign that "The network connection was lost for the file, or the file was

Hi i need to create a model from 250 + variables with high collinearity, and only 17 data points (p = 250, n = 750). I would prefer to use Cp, AIC, and/or BIC to narrow down the number of variables, and then use VIF to choose a model without collinearity (if possible). I realize that having a huge p and small n is going to give me extreme linear dependency problems, but I *think* these model

I am trying to install the Watchtower Library 2010 for my mum. When i try to run the program from the link on the desktop, i get an hourglass icon for a few seconds, then nothing. when i try run it from a terminal, i get a ton of errors about mfc90u. so i tried to install vcrun2008 with winetricks vcrun2008 when i do that i get a pop up dialog saying "could not write to installation log

Greetings When I start firefox or mozilla I get an hourglass for 3 seconds then nothing happends. Dropping to a terminal and typing firefox just returns to the command line. I re-installed firrefox and it installs fine until I quit then the same situation happends. After re-installing firefox it will run but the same situation happens where it won't start. I have installed int my home

I just downloaded rw1041 (the latest windows binary). Everything installed fine. When I start a new Rgui, and type "demo(graphics)", after pressing return to start, a graphics window appears. When I get to the second prompt: > opar <- c(opar, par(bg = "white")) > plot(x, ann = FALSE, type = "n") Hit <Return> to see next plot: at this

Hi, Sorry if this is already known... contour() sometimes draws contour lines that intersect. Is there a temporary fix? A dataset which causes problems is at http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~adrian/dumpdata.R If you try just source("dumpdata.R") image(huh) contour(huh) the 100 x 100 matrix 'huh' contains an hourglass-shaped region of values around 0.8.
