I am getting a strange font problem (see attached screenshot) for a user logging in over VNC Server, I am also logged in over VNC however I am no experiancing any problems... This was the case on CentOS 5.3 and on 5.4. I have tried removing the .vnc dir in the users home dir and re running vncserver so that it recreates it, I found this in the logs:
1. (nautilus:14718): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically
2.loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly.
3.This probably means there was an error in the creation of:
4.'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
5. You should create this file by running pango-querymodules.
6.Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
I recently lost the default panel from the top task bar, a message appeared on boot up saying a config file was missing or couldn't load - or something to that effect. I didn't realise to what it was referring until the computer (an Acer One) completed its start up and I could see the desktop
How can I restore the panel? (graphic from my other Ubuntu laptop attached showing the default panel appearance)
I created an Ubuntu 10.4 iso with the kickstart cfg on it, trying to boot it with the ks=/cdrom/pathtoconfig (tried even ks=cdrom:/path) parameter in VirtualBox but it refuses to load the file and just launches the generic install.
I'm trying to create new RAM image file to get my server load raid1 module upon start, I was following redhat documentation & it suggested to use the following command mkinited --with=raid1 inited-raid1-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) However after running this command I'm getting this message No Kernel available for 'inited-2.6.18-128.el5"
I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 with OpenSSH, trying to create an ssh tunnel (for web traffic) to it from my (also Ubuntu) laptop. This is the command I'm using to create the tunnel:
Code: ssh -ND localhost:8080 george@192.168.1.20 I had it all working on a virtual machine.. which was deleted What settings/lines do I need to change/add from the default OpenSSH config files to get tunnelling to work? I've Googled and AllowTcpForwarding is set to yes, as is X11Forwarding.. but it still doesn't work. Chrome can connect to the server, but says the connection was closed before any data was sent.
I have downloaded NETINSTALL disk from debian.org burned it and during installation it says that error and inst will not continued. This disk havent error replace disks and reburned them. On this computer debian 6 has been installed two weeks ago. "Running post-installation trigger fontconfig" on this stage i have fail.
For security reasons I need to ensure all of my users screensaver is set to come on after 10 minutes of inactivity. My thought was to find the screensaver config file, modify a setting in the file to 10 minutes and change ownership of the file to be root (so the user can't undo my changes either in the file or via the gui). However, I can't find the screensaver config file to do this. I'm running Centos 5.2. Anyone know where I can find the screensaver config file?
i have a VPS server running centOS 5 and i need to edit the boot loader config file but my VPS does not seem to have the usual suspects of grub.conf or lilo any where on the system.
where the boot loader config file might be or what it might be called ?
If it helps to know, the VPS was setup instantly the moment i bought it.
I did a yum update this morning that included a dnsmasq update. Subsequently, for an unrelated reason, I restarted dnsmasq, but it failed because /etc/dnsmasq.d didn't exist. It looks like my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file now includes "conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d" at the end. Since dnsmasq was starting and I didn't remove dnsmasq.d, I assume this line was added by the update. Commenting the line resolves the issue.
An alternative hypothesis, given that I don't really know what the state of /etc/dnsmasq.conf and /etc/dnsmasq.d/ was before the update, might be that the directory did exist, but was removed by the update. I find this the least likely of my 2 stated hypotheses. (There are other hypotheses, but I think they are even less likely). Am I correct is concluding the conf-dir line was added by the update? If so, shouldn't the updated RPM create the directory during install?
I am using ubuntu 9.10 and I updated by ubuntu machine. It updated but at the end it gave me a message that "You have new mail in /var/mail/root". When I checked it via the command "tail /var/mail/root" it showed me this.

I've been racking my brains over the past few days trying to figure out why my NIC card (network interface card) won't show up in the ifcfg-eth0 file.When I configure a new server (like this one) I always go to:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and from there I usally see the name of my NIC's manufacturer's name and the hardware MAC address.Then it's only a simple process of entering the server's IP address, netmask and gateway and I'm up and running in no time...But not in this case! the ifcfg-eth0 file is completely blank! There's not ONE single line of config info in it... (?)The server runs an Intel core 2 duo (dual-core) CPU with 1 gig of RAM.
I've even re-formatted the drive and re-installed Centos 5.1 on the darn thing 3 times and it simply won't work.The server cannot resolve when I do a wgetIt also gives me a 'resolution problem in the named configuration'.What I don't understand is that the 2 small LEDs on the Cat 5 cable lights up and flash at what appear to be regular intervals here.
We have been struggling with a problem with the mysql-server package. This might be in the wrong category because our problems are with it on x86_64. Where the problem happens variables that should populate from the my.cnf don't, on other servers, they do, the my.cnf files are identical except for the server-id
The problem occurs on some of our machines but not others. All are using the mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5.x86_64 The ones that work, when you connect with a client respond with server version 5.0.45-log source distribution The ones that don't work respond with 5.0.45 source distribution
It's unclear what the differences are between the two source versions and how we wind up with two different versions. One thing that might be involved, the mysql package is installed with both the i386 and x86_64
After a kernel update, the system always updates the GRUB menu, and the newer kernel is the default boot option.However, after an update on my F13 X64 system, the GRUB menu was updated, the config file still sets the default to "1" but if i left the automatic boot it will boot the previous kernel... am I crazy or missing something here?Here is my /boot/grub/grub.conf file:

Which file system uses Centos 5.6 by default, Ext3 or Ext4? I have installed on Ext3, it's upgrade from 5.5, but howto convert into Ext4 without damage or lost data?
I've installed Fontmatrix. It deactivates fonts correctly, but when I try to reactivate them, it does not do so, and gives this error message: "Fontmatrix has been unable to load the font in file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf. Please check missing files." It is still possible to reinstall them using Gnome Font Viewer. Does anyone know what to do about this?
I am a long time Unix system admin and this one has got me stumped.When I try to run the system-config-network (or any of the system-config-xxx programs) from the links on the GNOME interface, I get a message pop-up that says, "Unknown error" and no additional information. I have also opened a terminal and run it from the command line (/usr/bin/system-network-config) and I get the same "Unknown error" pop-up. I was not the one who originally configured this server, so I am not sure of the history or how it might have been broken. I can't seem to find any debugging information or even any command line parameters that might give me a clue what the complaint is. There is no error number or any other helpful hint as to the cause of the problem.
I have been manually editing the config files so the server is up and running but it is tedious to manage the server without the GUI.Has anyone seen this before? I assume it is a configuration issue, but I am not sure where to look.uname -aLinux xxxxserver 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17 11:30:06 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux/etc/redhat-releaseCentOS release 5.4 (Final)
I was working on a shell script to change the permissions of large directories and subdirectories because of an exploit discovered in the programs that run in those said directories that allow a client to upload and download files to the server. Loan behold I accidentally added a space and had something along the lines of "chmod -R 770 ." run on / logged in as root.
Yes, it was an incredibly noob move on my part, but nothing ventured nothing gained. I am surprisingly calm about this. I tried sliding in my CentOS installation disk and "Upgrading" CentOS but that only made it worse, beforehand I made everything owned by root so I could at least log into GNOME. This does not work for obvious reasons, namely having to change the permissions back for every user and every group, which far beyond a possibility.
I downloaded Go-OpenOffice from SlackBuilds.org, but I can't build it. make terminates with configure error: checking for C compiler default output file name. configure: error: in `/tmp/SBo/ooo-build-3.1.1.5': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.
(I can't find config.log anywhere) I use a quite 'light' installation (no xap, ap), and I suspect that I have some unmet dependencies, but the error message provides no information about what software is needed (I've installed all dependencies listed on SlackBuilds.org). I'm using Slackware64-13 with Xfce
I install a Bind 9 with chroot in Centos 5, but the issue is the Reverse Name Resolution Zone File didn't create by default like other zone files, so i look into /var/named directory i don't find the reverse name resolution zone file even if i add this zone on named.conf
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "1.168.192.testsip.com.zone"; allow-update { key "rndckey"; }; notify yes; };
For the last week alpine has been refusing to load a remote config files using the command alpine -z -p {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=username@gmail.com}remote_pinercit just ignores the -p flagbut will work if alpinef is used (alpinef calls alpine set to use function keys for issuing commands).
