Hi, So first daft question with Centos 6 (someone had to be first!) I've setup Centos 6 as a Server but as with Centos 5 it used to boot into the GUI but v6 doesn't do this, startx etc doesn't seem to work to launch the GUI Any suggestions on how I can get this to work? Thank you Keith

I have a CentOS 4.3 workstation I use for experimentation on my desk at work. It was plugged into an old LG 14" monitor, and I switched the video cable to a Samsung 17" LCD without rebooting. The screen resolution was set to 800x600 on the 14" monitor, and the display worked fine at 800x600 after switching to the Samsung 17". When I changed the resolution to 1024x764, the

Hi, folks, So I installed xfce on my Netbook. While I was in Chicago, I worked out how to tell it to bring it up. It came up. As root. With no obvious way to tell it to show a login screen first. Did I miss something? mark

I decided to upgrade from openSuse 10.2 to openSuse 10.3. I installed xen things, but when I boot using xen option the system is blocked. It appears the green window, with little suse logo in the middle, and mouse cursor, but the system crashes. My computer is a Pentium 4 1,5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. I attached "diff boot.msg boot.omsg" (as diff opensuse-normal-kernel opensuse-xen-kernel)

When I run system-config-services, it shows vncserver set to start at boot. in /etc/inittab I have init 3 vncserver does not start at boot. I log in on the console as root and service vncserver start and it starts with some warning messages about bad display name in "add" command, but I do not see where these are logged to copy them into this message. Once I start it from the

I've got a new VM installed for me by a sysadmin who apparently did a minmal install. As a result I've installed a bunch of things to try to get X going, including yum groupinstall "development and creative workstation", "Desktop platform" "mate desktop" but so far I've not found the incantation to get it to start up X at boot time. As far as I can

I installed xen 3.3.0 on a etch box from sources. I just modified the standard kernel cause of some hardware drivers. I installed xen-tools from backports (3.9-3~bpo40+1). To create a domU ist not the problem. I can connect via ssh and everything works fine. But when i start a domU with "xm create host.example.tld.cfg -c" to login to console from domU it hangs after the message

I installed CentOS using the option for a GUI Server with GRUB and GNOME. When it boots it stops at a text login screen, which is not desirable in our setup. I want it to start at the GUI login screen and not have to press 'Ctrl Alt F7' to bring this screen up. I thought this was controlled by /etc/inittab but it is setup correctly for runlevel 5. How can I correct this setup? Mark

I have a server with all the x-windows stuff installed. But it's giving me a text based login prompt on the console. I can log onto the console, and run gnome-session and GNOME comes up fine. How do I turn it on so that I get a X-Window GUI login prompt? === Al

Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

Centos 7 doesn't use runlevels set in inittab like previous versions did. I see that fact is actually noted in /etc/inittab, along with the expected way to do it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~

Hi all, I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this: x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels?? Many

Hi All, How does one best turn of X-Windows? I dont need it, ssh works just fine for me. I seem to recall it was complicated and since I know enough to do my stuf and not well versed yet in fixing things I break, I dont want to blow this up. Best, -ML

Amazon (or perhaps Amazon's configuration of Xen) forces a machine to come up at run level 4, regardless of what's in /etc/inittab. I've looked through /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc, to determine which (if any script) looks at /proc/cmdline and forces a particular run level, but to no avail. It seems that /sbin/init does the forcing. Can anyone confirm that /sbin/init reads

My AsteriskNow box was updated to Centos 5.6 (2.6.18-238.5.1.el5) and DAHDI doesn't want to load. I've tried building it from the sources, but get this error message: CC [M] /root/Desktop/dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.1.1+2.4.1/linux/drivers/dahdi/xpp/card_bri.o In file included from /root/Desktop/dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.1.1+2.4.1/linux/drivers/dahdi/xpp/xpd.h:31, from

Hello, Earlier this week I installed a test server with CentOS 5.6 with Virtualization enabled during the installer. Today I installed another server using the same method (they are identical servers). I just did a yum update and I found something curious. Both servers have a different kernel. Server 1 is at 9.1 version and server 2 at 5.1. How can this be? How to I get the latest version on

One of these days, RedHat might actually run me off!!!! AAAARGH!!!! Can anyone tell me how to get CentOS 4 to simply boot to the console in text mode? If I wanted a stinkin' GUI I would have installed winders! Now, my KVM and 25 foot cord is just too long to send a GUI signal across the room and I'm missing 50% of the screen.. striped vertically.. at about 1/8th inch spacing. Not
