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

Is there a writeup somewhere detailing how one installs a non-gnome desktop? I have installed both KDE and Mate and both fail with the same error. (EE) no screens found. I am a bit bewildered that neither the official KDE from centos nor the semi-official mate from epel pull in as part of their install the Xserver. I am also bothered by the fact that installing a desktop other than gnome 3

i86_64 CentOS-6.5 I have installed a Windows instance as a kvm guest on a host running CentOS-6.5. I can access the desktop through the virt-manager console and everythign seems to work, although the mouse cursor seems to get lost from time to time. The virt-manager console display supports various resolutions but when I re-size the desktop display remains essentially a square inside a letter

CentOS-6.6 Does anyone know of an application that would provide a 'mute' buttons for video and audio that could be used from a desktop panel? Ideally this would show the status (muted/cloaked or open mic/recording) of each. Presently, turning audio and video pick-ups off and on is rather cumbersome. And I often forget what state I have left them in. Which occasionally makes for some

I am a newcomer to CentOS and I appreciate the discussion. It would seem to me - and I am sure I am not the first one to state the obvious - Fedora is primarily a desktop OS while CentOS is primarily a server OS. The user needs are very different, the features needed are very, very different, hence many of the current features, or future features, should remain in one or the other and not cross

We have noticed significant desktop/UI lag on CentOS7 workstations using Mate when the CPU usage is high - i.e. the mouse pointer lags and moving windows (e.g. terminal windows) become jumpy (not smooth) We didn't see (or notice) this issue with CentOS6/Gnome2 This can easily be shown by running something like 'cpuburn' (https://patrickmn.com/projects/cpuburn/) and moving a

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

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

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 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

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
