similar to: Are these steps for re-installing Gnome correct/safe?

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

Is am searching for a command line program that I can run to setup options for users in gnome. Is there one. I want to automatically setup the Applications -> Prefences removeable storage remove desktop screen saver and sound values. Is there a command line control program? Thanks, Jerry

I'm trying out different music players. One that looks promising is called Quod Libet: http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet I downloaded the tar file and attempted to install it. I got this message: [dave at localhost quodlibet-0.13.1]$ ./quodlibet.py E: You need GTK+ 2.6 and PyGTK 2.6 or greater. E: You have GTK+ 2.4.13 and PyGTK 2.4.0. E: Please upgrade GTK+/PyGTK. I tried a YUM update,

I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why.

Last time I asked for some recommendations on this list, I was told about some great software that I hadn't been able to find myself, so I'd like to ask again. I've been having a hard time finding software that satisfies in the following 2 areas: 1. MP3 player and play list manager. Something that can ideally generate smart playlists based on MP3 tags. (I've tried XMMS, Amarok,

Following advice on how to ensure that PHP and MySQL are on my machine and working correctly, I ran the following YUM command, with the subsequent error: [root at localhost ~]# yum install php php-mysql httpd mysqlclient10 mysql- server Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route

When I was installing CentOS, I noticed among the list of components that PHP and MySQL were available. I made sure they were selected because I develop a lot of web sites in PHP/MySQL, but I always do my testing on the server side. I thought it would be kind of cool if I could do the testing and development on my home machine. Which is a long way of saying that I think I have PHP/MySQL on my

I've tried to create a Linux swap file, but when I run fdisk, it looks like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdb5 3645 3737 746991 82 Linux swap Why is this W95 partition existing in the

I have been all up and down my Firefox options, and all up and down whatever sound card configurations I could find in Gnome. And I just can't get sound to work. Whether it's a Flash animation, a Quicktime movie, or anything, they all run, but no sound. All other applications that run sound, like Xine or XMMS, work fine (although mysteriously XMMS every now and again loses it's

I have a USB card reader that handles various card media, like SD cards, Sony Memory Sticks, and two other formats that I can't even remember what they are. I pretty much exclusively use it for SD cards. With Fedora, when I plugged the card reader into the USB port, and then inserted an SD card, it would automatically come up on the desk top. However, this is not the case with CentOS.

I've been hunting this down on the internet, but haven't had any success, so I'm going to ask here. Does anyone on this list know anything about giFTui? I've tried running it, but get this error: giftui: error while loading shared libraries: liblinc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I can not determine how to get this shared library on my system.

I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script. My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command: #!/bin/bash #

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I need to remove an entry of inittab which is used to (re)spawn a process: mydemon:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mydemon >/dev/null 2>&1 So, I would comment out that entry and reload init running ``telinit q''. IIRC, this would lead to the currently running daemon being killed. I don't want to /try/ whether I'm right, as

Note that you can actually do 'telinit 3' and telinit 5' with systemd. I do, even

Does anybody know how to remove gnome integration for firefox? I want to use native firefox open save dialog.

On Centos 6 - how do you disable the control-alt-delete function in GNOME? Editing /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf works for console mode but not for GNOME. Thanks, Jerry

I'm looking for any easy way to make gnome a little more like KDE so my KDE apps look nice under gnome. I also want some extra gnome themes. Does anyone have any links on how-tos, or any ideas on where to start?

This was a problem I had a while back. I lost the "Preferences" menu item in my "Applications" menu in Gnome. After much discussion, the following commands got my "Preferences" menu item back, along with all the applications inside of it: rpm -e redhat-artwork redhat-menus --nodeps --allmatches yum install redhat-artwork redhat-menus But... For some reason it

I'd like to install "Gstreamer" so that I can get MP3 support in Rhythmbox. At least, I'm led to believe MP3 support comes with installing Gstreamer from Rhythmbox's FAQ. But when I get to the Gstreamer download page: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ ... it says: "Do not compile from source yourself unless you are certain you have to or want to" Okay,
