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

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 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.

Any suggestions as to what I am

I posted this to the Jitsi users mailing list on Thursday last and have received no replies. Does anyone here have any idea of what is causing this and how to fix it? One other bit of information. When I first installed Jitsi it initially worked for a non-privileged user as I ran it from the gnome menu of my login account. However, at some point it seemed get 'confused' and hung.

To get the server working again I reinstalled the previous version of openssh and the service came up without complaint. cd /tmp; rpm -i openssh-4.3p2-41.el5.i386.rpm --force --nodeps cd /tmp; rpm -iv openssh-server-4.3p2-41.el5.i386.rpm --force --nodeps cd /tmp; rpm -iv openssh-clients-4.3p2-41.el5.i386.rpm --force --nodeps cd /tmp; rpm -iv openssh-askpass-4.3p2-41.el5.i386.rpm --force

Question: If I use mock to build package rpmA from tarballA but rpmA has a dependency that can only be satisfied by package rpmB which must also be built from tarballB then how does the rpmB built from the tarballB get pulled into mock when building rpmA? I am trying to build httpd-2.4.7 from Apache and that needs apr-devel and apr-util-devel > 1.4. I can build apr and apr-utils in mock but

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

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

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
