I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i

I downloaded the jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin files and then run it as ./jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin. It resulted in an rpm file. and then i used rpm -iv jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm Everything went fine and I didn't get any error. But when I do java -version ......i don't get any output. I would like to know whether java is installed on my system or not. PS: I have

I am currently into Engineering, and I am working slowly on my Knowledge / Know-How of Linux. I am eager to know about the Job Opportunities for people who have considerably good knowledge in Linux. This thought has popped up in my mind, due to the reason that I was watching out my Local LUG, and somebody quoted like..."There aren't much Job Opportunities for Linux Knowledge compared to

I have Cent OS 4 with KDE. How do I enable an option of starting a new session with the current running? What I want to do is.....If I Lock my Screen, the other user should be able to Login to a new session on the Same computer. I hope this is clear. Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin.

Back in the day (read: before the latest firefox update), I used to be able to ssh to a remote box, run 'firefox -local', and have that box fire up its own firefox session even if I was running firefox on the system from I which I sshed. Those days seem to be gone. No matter what I try, if I've got firefox running on my local desktop, the remote firefox command just fires off

Can I define a default session for each user seperately? Or do they compulsorily have to follow the Default system session. If this can be done, tell me what all files need to be edited. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

I have downloaded the required KDE files (version 3.4.2)(I know what all files are required), and tried to simply upgrade using the rpm -Uvh command. But i began getting dependency problems. Now, what I did was searched google like a mad buffalo :P to find that missing files, and was successful to a great extent. But the weird thing was I got a few conflicts, which I can't around with. Please

I have Cent OS 4 installed on my computer, with cable internet. My ISP requires me to login to the account before I can access the Internet. I require to type some commands to get it working. (It comes with a software which I have installed) But that requires root access. I have many users on this computer, who can't access the Internet without my permission ( And I can't tell them the

I am using Cent oS 4 and I would like to setup the YUM repositories. Can anybody help me setup YUM? THat would be to install software, add repositories, and such necessary stuff. I know how to use apt-get, but not on Cent OS ( I will use either YUM or APT, at a time, but learn both of them, sooner or later.) Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

Previously when firefox went catatonic to the point that I could not even scroll, its CPU usage had gone to 100%+. Now top tells me that firefox, Web Content (with a space) or sometimes kswap... has process state D, uninterruptable sleep. Any suggestions on how to deal? I often have a lot of tabs open, so discovering the right one was hard enough before. Usually, it was something relatively new,

I've been struggling to get Firefox to render text in a sans-serif font. So far, I've only been able to do that by setting the default font as sans-serif. DejaVu Sans Mono and DajaVu Sans are the only other listed fonts that I'm reasonalbly sure are sans-serif. Helvetica and Arial are not there. sans-serif does work on Konqueror. Does anyone know how to affect the font-family on

Hi all, I'm setting up an LXC container for Ubuntu 13.10 where the X server is started in the host on vt6. The unix socket and authority file are then mounted in the LXC container. I can start X sessions and applications from the container but I can't get LightDM to use this server. I would really like to have the container's LightDM/Ubuntu greeter to automatically start on this

Adding title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 to /etc/grub.conf has always worked for me on every dual boot Win2k, XP, 2k3 / linux boxes I have ever built. Install Windows first then install Linux. You do not need a kernel that has NTFS support and you don't have to play with NTLDR. I know that this goes against just about every Dual-Boot HOWTO you will

I am doing some testing with XForms and I really need a separate instance of Firefox, one that shares nothing with my primary instance that has various reference works and web sites open, to test forms. Is this even possible? I have a sense from the small bit of testing that I have done that even with separate profiles and invoking the firefox process manually from different terminal windows

I need to run a Java-enabled Firefox on my CentOS4.1-powered laptop and it *was* running fine. Then yesterday I up2date'd the box and Firefox went from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6. And I lost Java. I can't seem to re-install it, whether from the original (1.5.0 I think it was) or the latest downloads. This is crucially important as I need to access my Dell RAC. Can anyone advise how to get

Hi all I am using CentOS 4.3 and my default language is Japanese. I am using firefox with Japanese language. I installed firefox i386 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 update 15 M on my computer via yum yesterday. CentOS 4.3 has been acting strange! Japanese language on firefix has gone and English seems to be default language on firefox. I simply removed firefox 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 and
