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."

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 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 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.

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

What should i do to run multiple instances of Firefox? I mean whenever I click on the firefox to start a new window, it asks me to create a new profile. I use Firefox 1.0.6 on Cent OS 4. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

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."

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 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."

Hi All, First off, I've just started using compiz and its fantastic... I'm using compiz with KDE (on FC6), all is OK apart from one small niggle which is when I use the scale or switcher plugins it includes my kicker windows (the desktop panels) in the list, which isn't so pretty. I don't know much about gconf, but poking around in the settings for compiz and found that these

With current git, gtk-window-decorator quit when kde start :( Another way to make it quit: dcop kicker kicker restart => gtk-window-decorator quit.... Cedric

Listmates, Woking with compiz 8.2 on kde 4.3 beta 2 on Archlinux, the plasma "kicker" pager widget does not work correctly after compiz 8.2 is started. Before compiz is started you see the 4 small desktop representations stacked 2x2. After you start compiz, the panel only shows a single large pane 'Desktop 1' no matter what desktop you are on. The strange part is that

I love Centos. Have in on my data centre servers, my home servers, my laptop and my netbook. Yes there are serious and continuing security concerns relating to Gnome and KDE but they are not Centos. Currently running 5.6 and would like a two set DVD of that version. However none of the mirrors offer pure DVDs only Torrent versions which involve the possibility of bits being tampered with and

How do I add Wma support to my Cent OS 4 distribution? I would also like to have GS streamer installed. Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

Scenario 1: Package-centric Have the .deb package for NUT install a single-user/single-UPS configuration, with the .deb asking for the UPS type and dispatching on that to set up ups.conf for the correct driver. Package installation could even create a nut user and group, so there wouldn't even be a security compromise. I don't know how to do the equivalent with RPM, because RPM

I recently installed C7 from a C7+gnome CD. Gnome was awful enough that I promptly installed KDE. KDE is not doing so well either. Text in text editors invoked by "opening" a file is flakey at best. E.g. pieces disappear and duplicate. Terminals seem ok, including vim invoked from the terminal. Firefox text seems ok. The sidebar text in file-browser windows often has "black

Dear all, I just went through the process of installing R on an eeePC 900 running Linux. As a Windows useR utterly ignorant about Linux, I'd never have done it without reading your posts and the R Wiki, so first of all: thank you! Next, taking up your thread from some weeks ago, I thought this could be useful for somebody else too, so here's what I did: 1) I followed wolfgang's
