I had cause to install the Skype for Linux package from the NUX repo. I discover that this package is configured to automatically start Skype whenever one logs on to the Gnome desktop. This behaviour I do not wish. However, there seems to be no option in Skype to turn that 'feature' off. Is there any way to disable this in Gnome or elsewhere? I will be removing Skype shortly when the

Not sure why, but it wouldn't affect make your system automatically start skype. Read 'man prelink.conf': -b --black-list=PATH This option allows

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

generic way to find where something is being called, if you known the name of that something: enter as your user in terminal: # su - youruser $ grep -irs skype . | less now just need to parse the output, find where its being called (probably .X?? or .x?? or .gnome??), remove it. --Virilha ----- Message from "James B.

I am running a Xen installation on a Centos-4.4 based test box, my desktop unit, and I am having intermittent problems installing certain pieces of software. Some time back I posted to this list regarding my inability to install Adobe Acrobat on this unit and was advised to essentially repackage the software and try again. This is beyond my present means of knowledge or time to acquire same and

I had not thought of that, probably because I never encountered the need before. None-the-less, there is no entry in that list which appears related to Skype. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a

OS CentOS-6.2 with updates to present. I use git on this host to manage configuration changes and to monitor package alterations. This is not meant to be a security check. It is simply a way for me to easily recover from fumble fingered configuration changes. Yesterday git status reported that the following files had changed since the previous commit: # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb #

I have installed Skype 4.0.0.8 on my new workstation running CentOS-6.3 (kvm) and the Gnome DTM. This host has an Intel DG43GT motherboard with on-board audio. The sound works when tested in the sound preferences in the desk top. Skype runs and the integrated usb video and microphone both work (I infer this from the mic test in Skype options showing movement on the intensity bar as I can hear

CentOS-5.7 Skype 2.1.0.81beta Formerly, when I opened Skype a green Skype icon would appear in the upper menu bar of the Gnome desktop. Now it does not. I must have moved or modified something on the Desktop to cause this to disappear although I cannot recall what that might have been. It certainly was not a conscious modification and I would like to get the icon back. The absence is not

Can't remember if I posted this before... We're getting warnings from rkhunterWarning: Checking for prerequisites [ Warning ] All file hash checks will be skipped because: This system uses prelinking, but the hash function command does not look like SHA1 or MD5. Now, googling, I find people saying to rm /etc/prelink.cache, then run rkhunter --propupd. Works. And then,

Is it possible to use this exploit against a kvm guest to read memory used by the host? In other words: if an exploitable service, say httpd with mod_ssl, is running in guest system 'vm1' hosted on system 'virthost' then what implications does that have with respect to guests vm2 and vm3 and to virthost itself? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James
