similar to: setting up auto logout in CentOS 6

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

Hi all, I've written a tool that configured Virtual Machine Manager, but I've got a condition that I am now sure how to handle... If the user isn't logged in and I configure their ~/.gconf/apps/virt-manager/*, and then they log in, everything works great. However, if they've already logged in and there was no prior virt-manager configuration, the custom config is overwritten

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

It says what it is my original post; that?s the output from audit2allow ?w (which is audit2why): Was caused by: The boolean allow_ypbind was set incorrectly.

Well, if I just run audit2why again, it always tells me the same thing. However, I have now discovered that if I unset allow_ypbind, and then reset it to 1, audit2why then says

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

I have two HP dc7800 convertible minitowers that are exhibiting the following issue: every 5-10 minutes, they will "freeze" for about 30 seconds, and then pick right back up again. During the freeze, it seems that nothing at all happens on the system; the clock doesn't even advance (it just picks up again with the next second, and that 30-or-so seconds are lost). I've tried both

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

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

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

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 asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years. His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user feature). Is that feature available or is it planned? Thanks.
