CentOS 5 :: Initial KDE Desktop Settings On An Existing User?
Aug 30, 2009
Does anyone know how to install the Default KDE Desktop settings in an existing user? I copied a user's home directory from another Linux and when I added the user using adduser on the new intallation, it did not copy any of the Desktop or other .rc/.profile settings.
Is there a script that is run by adduser, or a list somewhere of the files that are needed for KDE Desktop to work correctly? Or, do I delete or rename certain files and then, what executable do I run to get the Desktop?

However, the option to upgrade to 11.04 has recently become available in the Update Manager.
If I choose to follow this upgrade path, will my existing user settings such as nautilus shortcuts, wallpaper and other personalised settings be changed or reverted to default in any way?
Or will the upgrade execute, and leave everything looking and working exactly the same?

I have an existing unix user that some how didnt make it into the copy over to our LDAP server. How do I add an existing unix user to an existing LDAP directory? Will ldapadd work? I was under the impression ldapadd required an ldif file to work properly.

what is the correct way/procedure to re-create a user home directory. For instance, on a Mac/Windows machine, i would just rename the existing user profile [home dir], and then just log back in as the user - job done. On OpenSuse/Linux, it seems it does not work that way..?! When i try to rename my home folder to say me.old via root, and log back in as me, i get all kinds of errors. Opensuse does create a new home dir, but it appears not properly.

I accidentally promoted my initial account to admin and now I want to revert it but I don't remember the specific initial user privileges.So there are 2 questions:
1) First, is it safe to "downgrade" the account, logging in with another one? In general what's the best way to do it?
2) Could someone enter Administration->Users and Groups->[select initial account]->
Advanced Settings->User Privileges and list the privileges that are on by default?
I repeat I want the privileges of the initial account, which I suspect are above those of basic users (that are added later) and below admin...

I'm running Suse 11.1. MySQL is installed. I downloaded and installed the software for MySQLAdmin and MySQLBrowser, this was one software package so both got installed at the same time. My question is this; When I log into MySQL to use the Admin Tools it doesn't like my root password. So I log in as 'localhost' with the id of 'root' and no password and I get right into the main Admin menu. Why doesn't it accept the root password and how can I change the root login to need to have a password. Will just changing the password in MySQL Admin do the trick?

I'm looking for the easiest or cleanest way to copy a user's settings to a new user's settings. I don't need to copy any files from the original user, but setting up a home directory would be great.
If it's done at the command line, that would be just fine. I'm very familiar with working at the command line.

Due to a problem I had with a 10.10 upgrade [URL] and the need to access data on the pc I upgraded, I downloaded the live CD and installed on the same pc. Now I have two versions of 10.10 on the same pc but in different partitions. Is there any way I can copy my settings from the partition that is not working (the upgraded one) to the one that is working?

Yesterday I downloaded 10.10 desktop version and burned an image to a CD. After installed to a Dell Dimension E510 machine successfully (I wiped out windows completely), the first update found 315 items to update. After downloaded, ubuntu asked to reboot the machine. Since then, the machine is stucking on the ubuntu startup screen. I suppose it is applying the updates; however, it has been over 12 hours. Is it normal to take that long?

I've been running Fedora Core 3 on a P4 450 as a personal Samba server and domain controller. It's worked so well that I never gave any thought to upgrading. The other night, I noticed that Up To Date wasn't working, and that Firefox was acting strangely. I made the FC 13 installation disks, whereupon I found out that the system didn't have enough memory.
Rather than mess with the P3 450 any more, instead I swapped main boards and decided to do an upgrade. it even possible to do an "upgrade" from 3 to 13? Is it possible to maintain my existing partitions/settings. I've backed up everything that I'd be too unhappy to lose. It's a two drive system and the second is nothing but data, none of it catastrophic to lose, but at least disappointing. I'd like to keep the data and settings on the primary disk, but won't cry if I can't.

If I log out of my initial login session, the login w/ username+password screen is *sometimes* shifted to the right (so that the power icon on the bottom right is off-screen, and I have a black column on the left). When I log back into an account, the same shift *sometimes* happens, independent of whether or not the login screen was shifted. User switching *sometimes* results in the same behavior (it's not just logging in and out).
I have also logged in using a different desktop manager (openbox), and have had no issues (so far) with shifted graphics. Logging back out from openbox, the login screen still *sometimes* has the shift.

im talking about the .adobe, .amsn ..........
How can I copy the .* folders from one user home folder to another and then give the correct permissions to the new user.

ive just ported another system over to CentOS however when I went to run the initial set of updates using the graphical tool it asked me after downloading if I wanted to import a new public key which I dont remember ever being asked this before? Is this right or has there been a problem with my downloads?

I am configuring a new installation of CentOS 5.4 with the goal of setting up a server. Ive been through the installation and set up everything that I thought that I had to setup. Im getting into CentOS because my work utilizes this distribution. I do have some debian experience, and I have used Ubuntu on both server and desktop platforms.
Now, when setting up Ubuntu, I found that I was able to get networking up much easier. During the initial installation it had asked me to choose between DHCP or manual configuration. As this is going to be a server I want it setup with a static IP. But for some reason no matter what I do I can not get the machine connected. I go so far as trying to do a 'yum update' and I can not make a connection.
A few things Ive noticed that might be applicable here . . . . .
For DNS servers, I am unsure exactly what I need to put here. My ISP is Cox. I am not sure what NS's to put there for them, so I thought that I would be able to use third party DNS servers such as OpenDNS or the Google Public DNS. I know that I have setup my debian server like that with no issues. Also when setting up my debian server it prepopulated certain areas that I am required to fill when setting up CentOS. Example, when setting up localhost.localdomain -- I would choose my hostname and local domain was prepopulated as ph.cox.net. I dont know if this is something that I have to use, or if it would change if I am using third party DNS.
My resolv.conf file looks like this
search ph.cox.net
nameserver (IP address of third party dns either opendns or google)
nameserver (IP address of third party dns either opendns or google)

I'm trying to create a user account for my children in Ubuntu 10.04
When creating their account, I have turned off the 'Connect to ethernet and wireless' option of the Advanced Settings.
However, when I log into their accounts, they still have full access to the internet through both the wireless and ethernet connections. Is this option for some other purpose?
Is there an alternate way to limit internet access for childrens' accounts in Ubuntu? (I'm used to MS Family Safety as a filter for internet access - is there an eqivalent for Ubuntu?)

I am looking for a procedure to recover the initial installed state of my system with out over writing user data areas. The install procedure has the phrase "will remove all linux partitions" which interpret to mean data partitions, not just /bin and /. Additional background - Was attempting to build a 32 bit cross compile of Mozilla/Firefox on a x86_64 configuration and had a conflict with libgl. Online advice was to remove duplicate libgls from the system (that was bad advice). This led to running yum update.
When I restarted the system I know longer had wireless networking, ntfs mounts and possibly other features I had installed. Further, attempts to update, re-install, erase and reinstall have had no effect on the situation. My assumption is that I need to start with a clean install - which will be about 10-20 hours to reset all the additions I made. But I don't see another solution.

This applies to users of 10.04 (64 bit), but I would like to hear from those running 10.04 (32 bit) and 9.10 (64 or 32 bit).Would you be good enough to answer this question: Do you have an �enable scanner option� (or a variation of that phrase) in (GOTO) System-Administration-Users & Groups- [Your Admin Account]- Advanced Settings- User Privileges?It would be immensely helpful of you if you could do this and post me your answer.

After updating to ubuntu 11.04 I have a problem with one of my existing user-accounts. When l log into the "ubuntu"-session I can not see the top panel and the launcher. But when I click, e.g. left where I would expect the launcher, an application e.g. LibreOffice is started. So unity is there but invisible. Other and new user accounts do not have this problem. Does anybody know how to fix this? - I already tried "unity --reset" but nothing changed.

I am trying to run a cron job as an oracle user. I put the user in the cron.allow file but it still won't run. Other users are able to run a cron job though. I think it's the way the oracle user was created and I wanted to recreate it. However it owns a lot of other file systems as well as the database. Is there a way to recreate or reset the oracle account without impacting what is currently in place?

I recently installed likewise 6.0 on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and I was able to login as a Domain user. However my domain user account is not showing on the "User Settings" panel (I can only see locally created accounts). And if try to change login shell by typing "chsh", then it tells me user "DOMAINusername" does not exist in /etc/passwd.
Does anyone know a way around this?
