similar to: Vncserver not serving up my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal!

sorry i figured this out after deleting the other parts of the thread. just run vino-preferences as the user who runs the main x display. it will have various options to enable and as soon as you do that you can get to hostname:0 via vnc. works quite well.

I downloaded and installed apt and synaptic using yum ok, but are there corresponding apt repo's for the yum ones?

I want to mirror an existing 40GB data only drive using software Raid1 on my new CentOS 4 server. The existing drive is connected to a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 controller (non-raid). I have read about mdadm and understand how to create the Raid1 on /dev/mdxx devices. However I would like to know if the existing data on the orignal 40GB drive in the system will be destroyed when I create the raid with

I created an account on the Forums this morning, but I got an error saying they were having a problem sending e-mail. I sent a message to the webmaster and no response either. So I can't post to the forum until my account is activated. Are the forums new? By the amount of traffic on the list, this must be where most people resolved their problems. I am thinkgng about installing CentOS 4 on my

Greetings: I'm just installed Centos-4 on an IBM T-21 laptop. So far so good. Now I'd like to pop in a wireless lan adapter. I'm looking at a buying a Linksys WPC54G adapter (although I haven't done so yet). After doing some searching, it looks like the best way to get this card working is via ndiswrapper [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net] and then to use Windoze

I started the named server on CentOS and it seems to resolve DNS request OK, but it does not seem to retain the info for very long. From what I can tell using "dig", a domain's ip address is retained for less than 12 hours. So in the morning, it takes 4+ seconds to resolve again the first time. Is there an adjustment somewhere for this or is the caching named support not enabled by

The Vino package is installed on my CentOS 4 server, but I am unable to connect to it using vncviewer (vncviewer srvhost:0) from a client. However, I am not sure if it is "running" or how to "start" it if this is needed. The client machine in this case is running Ubuntu Hoary (gnome 2.10). The connection is just rejected. So, I am now wondering what else needs to be done to

While working on getting software raid working, I was unable to shutdown CentOS normally. After a forced power shutdown, I noticed that my gnome background was missing and I could not change the background image or color. Trying to shutdown the server normally did not work either, it would just hang. I suspected that the file system was damaged and was not fixed automaticly on boot. I tried the

I am trying to plot two density lines on the same graph. Using the functions on the base package, I would go: plot(density(x), col = 1) lines(density(y), col = 2) And I get two distinct (one-bump) density lines. When I try to do it using lattice, I get two two-humped lines. (In other words, I think the smoothing function is taking the next set of data points and smoothing them in the same

I have gone through all the "new" setup for VNC server on 7.1 (goodness - that certainly is not easier than the previous way) Anyway - I have my port on 5901 and that is working. However - when I VNC into a box I get a different screen - I want to be on the same screen as the user that is on the console. how do I do that? Thanks, Jerry

Hi! I'm using the Naive Bayes classifier provided by the e1071 package ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071) and I've noticed that the predict function has a different behavior when the level set of the columns used for prediction is different from the ones used for fitting. From inspecting the predict.naiveBayes I came to the conclusion that this is due to the conversion of

Hi all, I'm looking for pointer for setting up VNC so that access to the system is via gdm/kdm. Yes, I know about vino, and /etc/sysconfig/vncservers but what I'm looking for is a sertup that allows me to see the *dm login screen instead of being dropped direct into a desktop. Thanks in advance

hello, all. in my previous research, i have always used existing data. i am trying something new as an exploratory exercise and have never create my own variable form scratch. essentially, i am creating a variable for party affiliation. here is an example. var =party. levels= democrat, republican, other. respondents will indicate which category they fall under. for the sake of ease, i will

http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.1/ipv6.html IPv6 support in VNC Server E4.1.7/P4.1.2 VNC Server E4.1.7 & P4.1.2 are fully IPv6-aware, but is shipped with IPv6 support disabled by default, for security reasons. IPv6 can be enabled by setting "InTransports=IPv6,IPv4" (the default being IPv4 only), either on the command-line when starting vncserver under Unix Ok.

Hi all, When using the "vncserver :1" and then "vncviewer :1" to see it so far so good. then when I run a program I get the window outline until I move to the position I want and click - how can I just skip that step and lets say have my new program go full screen (in the vnc window). Is that possible and how? THanks, Jerry

I installed RHEL 5.8 x86_64 today. To my surprise, when I connect it using vnc viewer it does not start gnome-session automatically. The last line in .vnc/xstartup is twm& Before I removed RHEL 6.1 a few days ago, vncserver always starts gnome-session every time I open vncviewer. Is that related to RHEL version or vnc-server version? Best Regards, Yawei

I am trying to log into a desktop that is running CentOS 4.2 by tennelling VNC through SSH.. The desktop auto-logins a user, then sits there waiting for me to login. On the client side, I fire up SSH tunneling ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:5900 The client spits back the error vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused Unable to connect to VNC server The server says channel 5: open

What is the difference between the GUI (system->Preferences->Remote Desktop) under centos 5.1 and editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding the vnc in the modules section? Is one better than the other? Jerry

Hi, I''m trying to get copy/paste/cut working between my Xen host (FC8 64) and guest OSs (Centos 5.1, Windows 2000). I''ve tried the viewer in virt-manager, virt-viewer, and vncviewer. None of them seem to transfer clipboard contents between host and guest, even with both clipboard checkboxes selected in vncviewer options. Does anyone know how to get this working? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out how to use lmer to fit models with factors that have some nesting and some non-nested groupings. For example, in this paper: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/published/parkgelmanbafumi.pdf we have a logistic regression of survey respondents' political preferences (1=Republican, 0=Democrat), regressing on sex, ethnicity, state (51 states within 5
