Do you happen to know of somewhere other than rpmforge where I can find hexedit and gqview for el6 ? Epel has them for el5, but not el6. Fortunately, installing them from rpmforge didn't drag along any dependencies. -- Bob Nichols

I''ve just uneventfully installed SLES10 as an HVM DomU (after finding out, the hard way, that OpenSUSE 10.3 won''t install on Intel VT). This almost went without a hitch, but I''ve been banging my head against a brick wall for a few hours trying to get VNC working. I can get a remote desktop, but a few seconds after I log in to the remote desktop, the screen goes

Hi, Environment: I am using CentOS 5.3 operating system. I upgraded xorg of centos to 7.3. I am using intel 945 GM board. My xorg server version is 1.4.2 and inetl driver version 2.4.3. gnome-screensaver version is 2.16.1-8.el5. Problem: I connected another system of same hardware using VGA output. Now I can see clone of my system on secondary display. I enabled screensaver with 1 minute period

Hi Friends, I am trying to configure screensavers settings on Gnome and KDE running Centos 5.x 32-bit environment. I need to prepare a script which will be push by Puppet and this script should be able to change settings like idle_delay, set customized password-protected screen saver, enabling lock etc.. I have tried below commands for Gnome and somehow the settings are not taking place. The

Hi, I tried some windows screensavers with Wine. Most screensavers start with the configuration screen without a possibility to start the main screensaver part. It's the same thing when I rename a screensaver file from 'somewhat.scr' to 'somewhat.exe' and try to run it with a doubleclick on my Windows 2000 PC. (*.scr: the screensaver starts, *.exe: the configuration screen

Hi List, Currently running a couple of CentOS 6.3 workstations / laptops with gnome as the default window manager. Since the original 6.1 install the behaviour of the screensaver has changed. I use the cosmos theme and have this activate after five minutes of idle. Initially, when the five minutes were up, the screen would start to dim and if one moved the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard it

I've built some CentOS 5.5 64-bit systems straight off the DVD, full installs, and the Gnome screen lock (manually invoked or automatically via the gnome-screensaver) does not allow the user to unlock the screen. The only fix appears to be ctrl-alt-F<1 - 5> then have the user log into the tty session, type pkill -f gnome-screensaver, log out, then ctrl-alt-f7 to return to X. These

I'm at the stage of poking at a C7 install in Vbox, and am struggling to figure out how to control the screensaver. there doesn't seem to be a gnome screensaver package (like there was in gnome2), and I can't find any installed packages that control it. gconf-editor doesn't have anything that looks promising... how does one control the screensaver in Gnome 3? thanks! -- ----

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.

Dear everyone, I have a simple and silly question. I'm using pxelinux in a small LAN - I'm using it to boot a few universal profiles based on Linux and DOS. I have a simple DOS-based "screensaver" (winter background theme with snow falling down) that I'd like to hook up as a default profile (say after 5 minutes timeout) into the PXElinux boot menu. That works - the

Hello all. The best screensaver of all time in my opinion is E-volved cultures, available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~notnot/E-volverLUMC/screensaver.html Not only are the images it creates highly aesthetic, but they can seamlessly tile, so they are perfect for many applications. My current desktop was generated by this screensaver. I've tried everything though and it won't show up. I

People "usually" suspend their laptop, so that they can continue their work when they open the laptop. OK! Two choices [GNOME]: 1 - Menu -&gt; Shut Down -&gt; Suspend in this case, the gnome-screensaver locks the PC. but the gnome-screensaver is just a "normal process", and it could be killed e.g.:

A Large Wine Company in Upstate NY is considering leveraging EScreenz, A software application that allows companies to deliver messages to all employees and workforce via idle computers screensavers. The administrative back end allows for the uploading of slides and content that is broadcast to all networked PCs through the screen-saver. This application was first adopted by

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source

Hi, the C5 updates to openoffice.org-2.0.4-5.4.26 are available on the mirrors, but no announcement has come through the centos-announce mailing list yet. Also, upstream has released gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-5.el5_1.1 and gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5 (FasTrack channel) beginning of April. Neither is available yet for C5. Best regards, Bernd.

Hi, is it possible to use "encrypt passwords=yes" in the main server configuration and "encrypt passwords=no" in the virtual server configuration? My current smb.conf looks like this: workgroup = AGPC101 netbios name = AG-pc101-Server server string = PC101-Server # The include file contains encrypt passwords=no include =

Hi I installed samba 2.2.0 as PDC on a Pc running Debian 2.2rev2, kernel 2.4.3. One of the winnt user reports this error: sometimes it happens to him to leave his PC and after a while the screensaver starts running. when he comes back to work on the PC he is not anymore able to use Pc resources, he had to reset and restart the computer. He told me he did not have this problem before of being part
