similar to: RHEL 4 + 5 wallpaper?

Hi, I just installed CentOS 7 + GNOME on my Asus S300 laptop. So far everything runs very nice and smoothly, and I'm quite happy with it. Curiously enough, I can't seem to be able to set a custom wallpaper. I tried various locations like /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome and /usr/share/backgrounds/images, but the images don't appear in the wallpaper selection

Hi, I wonder where - and eventually how - GNOME 3 stores its user preferences. I'd like to create a custom user profile, with slightly different settings than the default ones: * don't show home folder on ~/Desktop * don't show Trash * use custom default wallpaper * stretch wallpaper instead of zooming * use different default icon theme * etc. Until now I've done this

At work I have an ADDC in Samba4.8.2, and I have set an institutional wallpaper. So far so good... I don´t know why, in about 15-20 days, after that, the wallpaper gone missing and the wallpaper go black... I have checked all the logs in samba but nothing showed up so far related to this issue. I clear all the logs, restart the server, and the issue continues, checked all system logs and

Hi, I'd like to get my microphone to work (mainly to use it with Skype). I've just been looking for a simple audio recording app, as I vaguely remember having seen such a thing before, only I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm using the default GNOME desktop with the latest CentOS 5. Any suggestions? Niki

I don't know if I really like this background though it is kind of neat. Where do I find the app to change this?

Note: The Wiki for Skype needs a tiny update. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype It's not a Beta now. Last night, I downloaded and installed skype-2.0.0.63-centos.i586.rpm The Skype web site calls this a "Gold" release. I'm having the same problem I had when I tried to use the Skype Beta. It's not picking up audio from the microphone. The hardware works fine, when I'm

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, Our Anaconda Slide rendering environment is near to be functional, so I'm wondering if you'd like to add new slides and if translators could take a look at the translations we have now ? Actually we have two Slide designs to choose from: 1. The common Title, Content slides [1]. 2. The common Title, Content slides plus related icon

Hi! I'm getting difficulties with wallpapers on roaming profiles on a samba 3.0.9-2.3 under SuSE 9.2 with Windows XP Professional Clients. I discovered, by reading other postings concerning this topic, that Windows won't use jpegs as wallpapers on roaming profiles (converts them to bmp and stores them in "Local Settings", which doesn't roam). So I converted the pictures

Hi, I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to work on my CentOS 5 desktop. My soundcard seems configured OK. I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav I can record speech from my microphone OK: $ arecord > ~/test.wav ... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's quite fuzzy. Other

Hi, I've been contacted by a local training center specialized in Oracle databases, to train a group of four administrators to use Linux. They're supposed to use Oracle Linux (more exactly "OL5"), which I understand is some specialized version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I'm reasonably proficient with CentOS. I've been using it exclusively on desktops and servers

I've recently set up two workstations running CentOS 6, one with an nVidia card and the elrepo drivers and one with an ATI Radeon card with the elrepo fglrx drivers. Both work well, but one aspect of the systems works different from CEntOS 5 on those systems: I cannot get a wallpaper image to span the two monitors. I have tried both with and without xinerama and there is no difference

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok

Hi, I'd like to use SSH without password so I can use it in scripts (for example in combination with rsync to do backups). I have Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook" and I'm trying out the various receipts, but the one for SSH without a password doesn't work. The book is slightly dated, and I wonder if SSH included in CentOS works differently. Any suggestions? Niki

Hi, I recently made a CentOS install on a machine with an unsupported network card. I had to add the driver for it later, once I finished the install. For now I have this: [kikinovak at localhost ~]$ hostname --fqdn localhost.localdomain Q: how would I change this to something like calimero.local? Here's what I *would* do, but I prefer to ask before. 1) edit /etc/sysconfig/network and

Hello I have a question related to Samba + Win2k Workstations. I have replaced a Win2k server by Samba (2.2.4). Everything was fine: the users could login and access shares, but they could not connect to printers shared on another Win2k workstations and even could not change their wallpapers. Since I needed to do that work fast, the solution I could find to this situation was to give to all

Hi, I have a bit of a tricky question about rsync. Let's say I want to backup a bunch of configuration files with rsync, in a script. What I don't want to do : a full snapshot of /etc. What I want to do : backup only those files I need, in an otherwise empty directory tree. In my script, I'd begin with a list of the files I effectively want to backup. Something like :
