Hi all, I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows at runlevel by default.

Which is the correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels?? Many

After testing the beta of CentOS 5, i was a little surprised to notice that the display manager part of the prefdm file in /etc/X11 was exactly like in CentOS 4 / RHEL4 and previous versions including RH9. it reads like this (added line numbers for reference): 14 # Run preferred X display manager 15 preferred= 16 if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then 17 . /etc/sysconfig/desktop 18 if [

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.

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

A customer is looking to replace or augment their Sun Thumper with a ZFS appliance like 7320. However, the Thumper was used not only as a protocol storage server (home dirs, files, backups over NFS/CIFS/Rsync), but also as a general-purpose server with unpredictably-big-data programs running directly on it (such as corporate databases, Alfresco for intellectual document storage, etc.) in order to

OK, I know what I'm doing is "officially unsupported", but perhaps someone has some suggestions... I have a CentOS 5.6 system running as a virtual machine using VMware player. I cloned the system, booted the clone to make sure everything worked after cloning, it did. I then booted off a CentOS 6 ISO and did an upgrade (I know, unsupported!). I've got the system to the

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),

Currently we install a systemd service named firstboot.service and a SysV service named virt-sysprep-firstboot. On systems where systemd is the init system and runs with the SysV compatibility, the different names make systemd handle them as different services, and thus trying to run the firstboot script runner twice. Rename both the systemd service and the SysV one to guestfs-firstboot: the new

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 ;) ).
