similar to: [OT] Where did my Skype icon go?

I have java-1.7.0-openjdk installed on a CentOS-6.3 x86_64 system. On my desktop I have a jar file containing a calculator program which runs fine on CentOS-5 and on MS-Windows machines. On the CentOS-6 system when I right-click on the jar file and say open with java nothing apparently happens. When I double-click on it then I see a file browser window offering to extract the contents but there

generic way to find where something is being called, if you known the name of that something: enter as your user in terminal: # su - youruser $ grep -irs skype . | less now just need to parse the output, find where its being called (probably .X?? or .x?? or .gnome??), remove it. --Virilha ----- Message from "James B.

How does one configure Skype/Gnome such that one can have Skype installed but not auto-start when the Gnome desktop opens? I have looked in the 'System/Preferences/Startup Applications' menu but Skype is not listed there. There are no options in the Application itself that allow this setting either. If there no other way then I will remove the application package and re-install when I

I have installed Skype 4.0.0.8 on my new workstation running CentOS-6.3 (kvm) and the Gnome DTM. This host has an Intel DG43GT motherboard with on-board audio. The sound works when tested in the sound preferences in the desk top. Skype runs and the integrated usb video and microphone both work (I infer this from the mic test in Skype options showing movement on the intensity bar as I can hear

I had cause to install the Skype for Linux package from the NUX repo. I discover that this package is configured to automatically start Skype whenever one logs on to the Gnome desktop. This behaviour I do not wish. However, there seems to be no option in Skype to turn that 'feature' off. Is there any way to disable this in Gnome or elsewhere? I will be removing Skype shortly when the

Earlier last year I had a 5.7 system running with skype. It worked fine. Later last year I had to reinstall my entire system. I didn't install skype then. Yesterday I tried to find a version of skype to use on 5.7, but couldn't find one on skype.com; there's no version for RH/CentOS 5.7. Does anyone know where a working skype can be found? Thanks.

I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

I changed the entries in smb4.conf (smb.conf) to this: [global] . . . dns update command = /usr/local/sbin/samba_dnsupdate nsupdate command = /usr/local/bin/samba-nsupdate -d -g And this is what results when I run: samba_dnsupdate --verbose -d8 --all-names . . . update(nsupdate): SRV _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.ForestDnsZones.brockley.harte-lyne.ca
