Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used. Any other suggestions? mw ======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it: DESKTOP=KDM I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a quad-four box. The model only indicated dual core but CentOS is telling me there are four. This is the first multi-core Linux installation I've had. What is the best way to utilize the multi-core CPUs? I'd like to distribute the load but I'm unsure how to do that. mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites

I'm replacing my old Fedora 7 mail server with a new one running CentOS6.3. The old server uses plain-text logins and password for pop3 and IMAP. I'm unable to get dovecot to authenticate. It's failing the password check. Trying 192.168.1.50... Connected to orion (192.168.1.50). Escape character is '^]'. +OK orion.crucis.net Dovecot ready. user joe +OK pass abcdefg -ERR

I have an established server initially created with CentOS 6.5 and updated weekly. Last week there was a massive update that I believe upgraded my server to 6.6. I had a number of issues after the upgrade---like my firewall being turned on and blocking all inbound ports. (I have an external firewall.) I've fixed all the issues created by this upgrade except for one. I have a number of samba

Hi, everyone. I wrote a guide for installing and configuring BackupPC on a CentOS host using rsync as the primary backup method. As best as one can proof read their own writing, I did so, but please read through and feel free to correct and change any typos. <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC> Regards, Max

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a new system. I've a nagging problem that I'm trying to fix---the screen resolution changes. I've a flat screen monitor that has 1600x900 capability. However when I logout and then log back in the resolution changes to 1280x1024. When I looked at the xorg.conf.d directory it was empty---both in /etc and in /usr/share. Where is xorg.conf and

Hello, We generally use CentOS for some servers, and so do not use a GUI interface. However, I have recently installed CentOS 6.3 onto a PC with KDE. I am familiar with KDE as I use it with Fedora for my work PC. The problem is that we would like to configure the login screen, so that it does not show the user list, that it does not allow the shutdown or reboot commands (from the login screen),

http://kegel.com/wine/qa/#app is a list of "must-have" Windows applications for various vertical markets (at the moment, just k12 schools and churches). These are the Windows apps that really keep a school, church, or other organization from switching to Linux. I'm hoping that this list will help focus Wine QA on those key Windows apps, and thereby increase the number of groups who

Can I directly upgrade (update?) from my current 6.5 box to version 7? Or, must I wipe my drives and install from scratch? mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

I have been asked by my church to recommend a VoIP system which can do the following. They do internet radio shows which are sometimes broadcast on radio. They are looking for a system which does the following for about 5 agents, exactly as they have described it. 1. Take incoming calls 2. Put them on hold if there is no one to handle the call immediately, or transfer them to an available

We have several people in our church that recently became disabled. I am thinking of setting up an asterisk server and several phone lined so that they can call in to church during services to listen to the service. The phone lines at church are also used by our private school during the week. So I am thinking that I need to setup a schedule so that the lines used for the service will

This is a simple question, but I'm going on the supposition that the only stupid question is the one not asked. 1. I have many sets of 5 proportions that are different from each other (prop.test), and want to know which proportions are different from each other. In other words, I want the equivalent of Tukey's HSD test, but for proportions rather than anova. Here is one of the

Hi all, I've built a new backup server for our linux-clients. Is Amanda the way to go for a backup-solution? It seems to be pretty powerful, if a bit finickety to set up initially. The way we currently do backups is to use rsync from the clients to two folders on an older server that rolls over every other week. This worked fine for a while, but the rsync is cumulative and the users

For me differential is backup from last full backup. Other users says that to perform a differential backup I must include in rsync command: --backup --backup-dir=/some/path but from manual page of

What do you guys recommend for backing up a small CentOS server in a business environment. It will have (3) 300gb drives in a raid 5 array but I don't anticipate more than about 25gb of data that needs to be backed up each night. I want a lot of backups with a rotation scheme that included daily, weekly, and monthly copies. I want the daily copies of the data kept until the next week, and
