I was editing a file in gvim when I inadvertently pressed some key combination that caused the vim window to disappear from the desktop. I looked in ps and found that it was still running. Checking the tool bar at the bottom of my display I noticed that a large rectangle now occupied the second of four boxes on the extreme right hand side. Clicking on that box brought back the gvim instance but

I have installed a minimal kvm host system. I wish to provide a graphical login on the host. To this end I performed the following group installs: yum groupinstall "general purpose desktop" "x windows system" I can login on the host system as root and then run 'startx' which gives me a desktop, sort of. The top menu bar with the various tool sets is missing as is

I have a couple of oddities that I hope someone here can clarify for me. OS = CentOS-5.2 all updates applied to date. 1. On the gnome desktop in the top panel (or menu bar) I have an icon for "System Monitor" which runs the application "gnome-system-monitor". On my other desktop CentOS-5.2 system I have the same thing. However, one one system the icon gives me a real time

We deployed our first CentOS-4 based workstation this past spring to see if we can conveniently replace all, or at least most, of our MS-Win based user systems with Linux boxes instead. Generally this trial unit has proved a success but there is one lingering problem that I cannot seem to find a straight-forward answer to: Is there an administrator override to a user's password protected

I am still trying without much success to get a desktop on my minimal + virtualization install of a CentOS-6.3 kvm host. When I run startx I get a desktop but other than the icons for computer, home and trash there is nothing displayed. I can right click the mouse and from there I can open a terminal window and creat a folder on the desktop but I have no title bar and no status bar. There are

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 the following gnome terminal profile settings: Backspace = ASCII DEL Delete Key = Escape Sequence If the logged in session in the terminal window is my own user id then the delete key does nothing. If however, I su -l in the same terminal window then the delete key removes the character under the cursor and left shifts the rest of the line. I am fairly confident that the delete

So, 1. I installed a minimal CentOS-7. 2. I then installed epel-release. 3. I then installed etckeeper from epel. 4. I then ran yum update -y. 5. I then rebooted (kernel update). 6. I then ran "yum groups install "X Window System" 7. I then ran "yum groups "MATE Desktop" 8. I then ran startx. Result: Graphical destop wallpaper appears, spinning disc in center for

I am experiencing a problem with gnome terminal, most likely caused by something that I have done and which I need to undo. The problem is that somehow the gnome configuration has been changed so that the "Contents" menu item under "Help" in Gnome Terminal has the character "space" mapped as a keyboard accelerator. I would prefer that this be mapped to just about

I am trying to put the dvd iso image of CentOS-5.4 onto a DVD. I have an LG multi-writer installed. I have used this device on this host to created CDs in the past but this is my first attempt at creating a dvd. When I put a blank DVD-R media in the drive then I see a desktop icon for "CD-ROM Disc" created. When I open the bittorent folder and click on the iso image

CentOS-5.4 i86_64 I have a calculator applet on my desktop (superbcalc.jar). When I double click on it I get no response. If I right click and select open with java I get no response. If I open a terminal window and cd to Desktop and type java -jar superbcalc.jar then the applet opens. Does anyone have any idea why I am seeing this behaviour? There are no messages in the syslog file relating

What is the correct combination of packages to configure and manage VMs via virt-manager undet CentOS-5.4? If I use qemu then while virt-manager works I obtain SELinux alerts with respect to the real-time clock. If instead of qemu I use kvm-qemu-img then virt-manager simply does not work. It starts but it does not find any form of qemu and the selection boxes are all greyed out. Further, do I

i86_64 CentOS-6.5 sernet-samba-4.1.7 MS Windows Advanced Server 2000 We have a very old MS-Windows Domain Controller running on equally old hardware that we wish to replace with a Samba4 installation running on a virtualised CentOS-6.5 . Other than most user desktops this is the last remaining MS based system here and we would really, really like to shut it down. Our plan is to join two Samba4

hdwr HPQ DC7700S ix86 Core Duo I have just updated this CentOS-5.3 box to 5.4. This process was not satisfactory. While the update packages all downloaded without problem the update process itself stalled at several points. By stalled I mean that at some point the entire process stopped for hours. The packages at which it stalled included evince, evolution, totem and vinfo. There may have
