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

I would like to have my lab workstations logout a session after the person has been idle for a certain period of time. After some searching on the web, I got into /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas and set the default value of max_idle_action to ?forced-logout?: <schema> <key>/schemas/desktop/gnome/session/max_idle_action</key>

Fedora 10 ships with compiz and launches it as: compiz --ignore-desktop-hints glib gconf This causes compiz to load the glib and gconf plugins at startup. This works fine. The problem arises when the gconf database does not include those plugins in /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins. What happens is that the plugins get loaded at startup, and after all the

I pushed out some changes to gwd that makes it possible to properly set an overall opacity value for any metacity theme. Making the complete decorations translucent can look bad with some themes. However, I've made it possible to have the opacity fade from opaque to the selected opacity value in a similar way to how the built-in decorations look. This usually looks a lot better. I'll add

In CentOS 6 gconftool-2 (command line) is used to enable/disable items. In CentOS 7 I found "settings->power-> blank screen" as something I wish to configure by the command line? How is that accomplished? I brought up gconf-editor and searched for power and blank and found nothing. How can I control this setting from the command line? Thanks Jerry

When I run X as root in centos 6 I get a nice little message that "your currently trying to run as root super user" and are you sure you want to with a checkbox. I do this for a reason as a post install step, then the system reboots and it never happens again... I am trying to find how to set this checkbox which says "never ask me again" and move on... I was trying to

I just did another compiz checkout and installed but now compiz won't work I'm starting compiz like this: gtk-window-decorator --replace & export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --use-cow gconf move resize minimize place decoration cube rotate scale switcher zoom fade screenshot dbus This was working earlier but not anymore.

Hi. I have just installed latest git vanilla compiz under fedora core 6 and I have run into two problems: 1. Metacity theme support does not work. As soon as I type in gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/use_metacity_theme -t bool true the window border disappears. I have tried it both under KDE and Gnome with the same result. the window border can be brought back by setting the above value back to false. 2.

Hi, I have recently upgraded to Opensuse 10.2 from 10.1 and all the changes that I am making in gconf have no effect on compiz. I am running compiz as a window manager in kde and I have followed the instructions for running compiz in Opensuse 10.2. However if I change in session manager the preferred window manager to kwin and then put compiz.desktop in Autostart directory all the changes in

Hello there! I've recently switched from Fedora 11 to CentOS6. Now my SD cards (automatically mounted on plug) contents is displayed as UPPERCASE filenames. I well see in mount's man that vfat's shortname option can be set to either lower, win95, winnt, mixed. OK, that's for entries in /etc/fstab or when mounting manually. I'd like to change the defaults for devices that

I centos 5 I can run this command: su myuser -c "/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/mypic.png" and this works fine. under centos 6 it does not appear to be working... I can run the similiar --get command and it tells me its set to what I asked for. However the screen is not showing mypic.png I can use

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

I am writing a configuration front end for the compiz gconf plugin at the moment, but it's proving harder than it should be because gconf does not record what type of compiz option the key is. For example, say i want a color picker for each color option the only way I can tell with gconf if it is color is if it has a # at the beginning, but there could be string option which also have a # at

Hi there, I would like to enable the desktop user to create shared folders, for example using protocols like Samba, nfs and sftp. For the user to make this possible, the user needs (on a Linux machine configured with the defaults of most current Linux distributions) root privileges. However. In a desktop environment, in my humble opinion the possibility for a normal user to configure a simple

Hi all, I use virt-manager as a way to give customers direct access to their (virtual) servers. This is important for things like OS installs or when do admin work where the network is down. This means I have to install a little linux machine though as none of my clients are linux shops. So I got to wondering; If I understand, virt-manager is more or less a hypervisor-aware VNC client,

Hello, I noticed that the control+super key kombi no longer works with the rain plugin.. I went to check why and found out that its disabled in gconf. so I tryed to change it back to <Control><Super> (which is the default) but it changes itself back to disabled... any idea why?

Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the "Suspend", "Restart" and "Shutdown" options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change
