CentOS 5 :: Xwindow - Changing The Locale?
Dec 21, 2010
I run KDE 3.X and for the life of it, can't figure out how to assign the "ALT+SHIFT" to switch between keyboard layouts? The default AL+SHIFT+K switches from EN to second one and after that it (obviously) doesn't work. saw a few posts [URL]....alt-shift.html), but the flag is not changing in the tray.
I also tried to go thru "Keyboard shortcuts", but for whatever reason, it doesn't want to accept the combination of "alt+shift" and expects another key ( i guess).
I'm using Centos 5.2 and the the keyboard model is "MS natural keyboard pro" with US and two Cyrillic layouts - one of them is phonetic.

I am trying to install X window on my dedicated server. This is the first time I am doing this and I had several issues which I was able to fix through searching the forum. This is a CENTOS 5.6 x86_64 standard and I am using WHM 11.30.1 (build 1) on it. Through accessing SSH as root I maneged to install X window and Gnome. #yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Maverick 10.10 is unable to create Japanese locales on my wife's laptop (Acer Aspire 3000). This machine previously had no such problem. The install is a fresh install, since the machine froze during the upgrade (no fault of Ubuntu's). A possible complication is that it froze several times more during the install, and I have gone through many recovery boots and iterations of dpkg configure. All relevant packages are installed, I believe. Everything else works. Through System, Administration, Language Support, I have installed all components of English and Japanese. Currently English is selected. Japanese should appear in the list but does not. Japanese text appears properly, and I can write in Japanese,But all the menus are in English. Fine by me, but my wife will want Japanese when she uses the computer again (not soon).This mostly likely is a glibc/libc6 problem, as far as I can tell. I can't find any other Ubuntu user with this problem recently.And now, some outputs:1. dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...
en_AG.UTF-8... done
[code].....

I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
LANG=ja_JP.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.utf8"

I know this is maybe a basic question while can UTF8 charset include all the language around the world?if it can ,then what is the difference between en_US.UTF8 and zh_CN.UTF8? what is the difference between en_US.UTF8 and zh_CN.UTF8 in the centos locale setting?

I've been reading a lot of articles on Xorg XWindow System having the ability to allow 6600/tcp for remote screen connections and I've been trying to find a way to remove the functionality without having to just dump XWindow and settle for CLI on my server. I heard it was disabled by default, but I just want to get rid of that ability completely by cutting it out of it's code and yes, I'm feeling very, very paranoid.

I am trying CentOS (as a change from openSuse), I have downloaded DVD and have loaded it as a Virtual Machine. So far so good. It did a "quick" install, which leaves me with Gnome as my desktop, I am used to using KDE, so I tried to use "Add/Remove Software" to load KDE. I also want to load other software which I have as RPMs.
Two questions:
1. My VM is not connected to the internet and when I open the package manager it tries to retrieve information from on-line repositories - I have tried disabling on-line repositories. I do not want it to look on-line, so how do I get it to just look at the installation DVD?
2. Is there an easier way to swap to KDE?

We just got a dedicated server from 1&1 which came with a 64-bit CentOS 5 minimal system install. Only later, we found out that it's partitioned in a strange way:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 950M 902M 0 100% /
/dev/md5 4.7G 1.1G 3.7G 22% /usr
/dev/md6 4.7G 897M 3.8G 19% /var
/dev/md7 221G 4.8M 221G 1% /home
none 998M 0 998M 0% /tmp
How can we get it re-partitioned so that all available disk space is allocated to the / directory instead of /home? Is it possible at all?
The 1&1 support is saying that this is a standard install and won't help.

I am having trouble changing the resolution in my Computer,I am new to Linux and somehow, Lucky, I got this program to install, I installed it on a Dell PowerEdge 1850 with a Radeon 7000 Video card,I had another one set-Up before which gave me a resolution of 1400 x xxxxx? Was great, this one only offers 800 x 600 and some other very low resolutions, The programing allows me to change it and demands I log out, Restart x and log in again, took me a day to figure out what was "x" and how to restart it, but no response. Still the same.
In reading the Forums I see this command allot "/sbin/lspci -m" But, too bad, nobody tells exactly where to type that series of digits to get any response,

I am currently using an M-Audio 7.1 PCI sound card on a headless non-GUI Centos5.5 install. MPD is running in the background for jukebox usage. The problem is, I seem to be at 100% volume output on the jukebox and I can't figure out how to change volume. Using alsaunmute to set volume sets some kind of volume on the soundcard, from what I can tell, but it's like that new volume setting is not being respected by ALSA. I can also set the volume using 'alsamixer' which also produces no noticable effect (100% is the same as 0%, as loud as could be from the PC).
I'm using the digital coax output from the soundcard for this - not the 3.5mm jack (due to stereo reasons beyond my control). Perhaps I'm not modifying the master volume? Thing is, when modify volume settings via an MPD client, such as Minion or one on my phone,�the volume setting does change in the ALSA software, but there's no audible difference. It makes me think alsa is not being used for sound control, but I'm stumped as to how to check otherwise. At least sound plays!

Once you have VLC open, select file, it only lists certain file types. Now if you go down to the bottom you can tell it to use other types (like *.*). How does one set it so one does not have to go down and change the file types every time? So that it shows all file types, all the time, by default.

this seems silly but I am changing ISPs and need to change my notification email address (for here). Under User Menu -> Edit account it shows my email but does not allow me to change my email. Since I am able to post I assume I am logged in correctly. So what did I miss?

How can I prevent users from changing their own password? I was surprisingly unsuccessfull in finding a solution for this on google. Lots of stuff about hardening ssh access or dealing with password aging using "chage" but nowhere could I find an answer for my question.

Where is the system locale set?When /etc/profile is run it sources /etc/profile.d/lang.sh which sets envar $LANG but /etc/profile is only used by login shells so -- AFAIK -- modifying $LANG in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh will not change the system locale for processes started by the boot scripts.There are no *locale* files under /etc./etc/inittab has nothing about locale.man init has nothing about locale.man 7 locale describes locale.h and its usage.man 5 locale describes the format of locale files./sbin/init (as investigated using the strings command) may call nl_langinfo but man nl_langinfo only describes how to query the locale, not where it is set.

I'm looking to find out exactly how to go about changing the encryption method of shadow passwords from MD5 to something a bit stronger, like SHA. I've been looking around for a bit now and haven't found out how to do it. I've gathered that I'll most likely need to change the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file. Right now, there is a line that looks like this:
password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok.I'm guessing the md5 should be changed to something else, like sha256. What else? I know I'll need to reset all passwords once the change is made, but I thought there was someplace else that controls how the passwd command encrypts passwords.

I have setup a VPS @ Strato with Linux Wheezy.Since I'am in the Netherlands I got a Dutch language package installed.I like to setup into englisch all the way.Via dpkg-reconfigure locales I have installed en_GB.UTF-8 UTF8 language packages and deïnstaled nl_NL.utf8
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_GB.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
But a lot of the commands are still in Dutch like: h2458377:~# uitgelogd.And quite often I got:
-su: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (nl_NL.utf8)
How do I get ripped off this error?Just working with/on the command line

Somehow my language/locale setting has gotten messed up, and I don't know how to fix it. Several applications complain with a message like: "No matching locale found for 'C'."
The contents of /etc/default/locale is code...
How can I fix this?

I have been having some trouble using the Esperanto locale in Xmonad for sometime. I used this locale mainly in the terminal, because obviously Xmonad is a tiling WM and doesnt need a specific locale itself. I found that Esperanto locale prevents Xmonad from starting, but that if the LANG locale is exported after Xmonad is already started, it will turn my xterminal into an Esperanto terminal. Thus opening mutt mail will show Esperanto-Mutt, and for instance "command not found" becomes "komando ne trovita". I enjoy seeing this.
So the trick then is running "export LANG="eo.utf8"" just after xmonad loads before any other programs are run. I tried various things, and now wonder is it possible to just have the terminal itself running it its own locale? I could run this manually in every terminal, but wonder about automating it. I use the Xfce4-Terminal.
I tried .bash_profile, .xinitrc, .bashrc, and I tried adding the export to a bash script set to run by xmonad after it starts up. None of these cause the desired effect. I also notice it is temporary. If I open a terminal and do the export, that terminal is Esperantized. If I open a new terminal it is back to english.
Another thing I noticed is that after xmonad starts, if I manually add the export to .bashrc, all the terminals are in Esperanto. So I am thinking of making a script that does a find and replace of the .bashrc to add the export. Its tricky, some kind of sed-grep action. Another idea would be to put the .bashrc in a weird location so it isnt found on startup. Then make a command to symlink to it in the user folder after Xmonad starts. The main Slackware system would be English locale in order to prevent Xmonad from barfing on startup.
