similar to: How can I get .xsession-errors back?

OK, after 3 tries I got CentOS 6.6 installed (don't ask). Now something very odd is happening. My regular user, me, can not login to level 3 without odd errors. I get /home/<username> not found when it's there and setup with correct permissions -- well here I am using it in run level 5 just fine! So, my normal user is left logged in at /root. Even if I move over to the correct

Most of my users are on kde, as am I (I really don't like gnome). I've got one on gnome, though, CentOS 6.4, and I have a problem: I have to start an agent running ->on login<-, so that the same one is in the environment of every term window he opens. In kde, no problem, I modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common so that code in there calls our (newer) ssh-agent instead of the stock one.

My Update Applet keeps giving me messages to install an update to a package I do not have installed. To make matters more confusing, when I actually try to install the package it wants to update, there is a problem with the installation. Any tips on how to resolve this? Is this somehow caused by the repositories I have enabled? -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "We can

If I choose to do a fresh install of CentOS 6 with "replace existing Linux systems", will it also wipe out my /home directory? In the past when I've done this with another Linux distro, /home was not affected. Or, would I need to do "fresh" install and then muck with partitioning using a Custom Layout? Right now, it's kind of looking like the latter to me, and if so,

hi all, I've inherited a server with CentOS 6.4 the VNC Server starts up with the OS and its screen resolution is set to 800x600. I found that I can set the resolution by specifying the -geometry switch, but I can't find where the call to start the vncserver is set in order to change it. I know that it's not in /etc/xinetd.d (the only file there is rsync) here are the contents of

What they do is bring me to a login prompt -- this is NOT what I want. This change to vt1 for my GUI, in this case, Gnome is a change with version 7 of CentOS due to some

Hi Yesterday I was using OpenOffice Impress, doing many cut/paste operations with images, and without any notice/message/warning the application die. Then I look for ~/.xsession-errors file to see any signal about the problem, but I realized that ~/.xsession-errors is no longer present. This is a new behaviour of X.org ? I'm running CentOS 4 and XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian
