My X-windows *server* is a Cygwin box. I installed the entire X11 packages. on the centos machine, I installed xterm and emacs.xterm comes up fine and the characters in the window are fine.with emacs, the characters in the windows are empty boxes.Do I need to install some things on the centos end to get the characters to render?
View 1 RepliesIn CentOS 5.4 (Final), emacs is displaying characters as little boxes. see attached screen shot. I searched the Web and found others have this same problem with emacs in CentOS 5.4 but have not found any solution. I installed emacs in a base CentOS Amazon EC2 instance as follows:
yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
yum -y install emacs
yum -y groupinstall emacs
This issue does not arise for me in Amazon EC2 instances running Red Hat, Fedora, or Ubuntu when I install emacs as I did here. I am not X font savvy
My question is: what option can I set in vim to see the colouring inside the editor as I would get it in my terminal (and switch off any additional syntax highlighting)?

I booted the computer up with a spare 20"idescreen monitor on a portable desk to install Ubuntu and make sure all was well with the newly installed power supply and graphics card.It worked perfectly.I moved my old tower out from its slot under my desk and put the new Asus tower under there. I plugged it into my 23" widescreen monitor and booted the computer.Ubuntu (9.10) boots just fine... but the login screen is all boxes!! There are no characters, just little white boxes. I can put in my password and log in. Once logged in the system is fine - all characters display normally from within Ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed some programs, such as Terminal, would instead of having the default font, all the characters were boxes (as if they were undefined chars). Then I restarted and then ALL TEXT ON UBUNTU WERE []S. I can't even read what anything says. I'm in Windows now posting this because I can't read anything on Ubuntu.
How can I fix this font issue? (Preferably without reinstalling?) I noticed using recovery mode I can use a non-GUI version of Ubuntu which is basically Terminal as an OS in which I can actually see the font.
What I want is to be able to type something like "camin" (with the accented ") in Emacs, and get it to work after latexing it. An alternative would be to type "cami'on", but the first alternative would be much better.
After googling it seems that this (or at least the second option) should be possible with not much hassle, but I just can't get it to work (maybe because I haven't got much sleep last week).
i installed kde on my centos and now all of the text is boxes, im guessing its a missing language pack or something.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install CentOS on one of those BSI portable boxes. When installing, it gives this error:"Errno 30 Read-only file system." Which is weird because it's obviously not read only, and doesn't fail right away. It's an IDE optical drive, and a SATA hard drive. I thought it was the SATA optical drive to IDE HDD install issue that has been seen before, but not the case here. The disc is in known-working condition.

The servers are not in a cluster (the email software does not require it). What filesystem could be used to distribute/replicate the files between the two servers? I have tried NFS, GFS, and GlusterFS. All of which work but result in a latency that is unacceptable to the end users (webmail clients).

I've just been handed a network with 20 identical servers (they're ~4 year old HP quad-Opteron machines with identical hardware configs). They're currently running a mishmash of stuff and I've been told I can re-purpose them. I'd like to create a generic kickstart and pave over them all with CentOS 5.4 with the only difference being the IP address for each machine. I have physical access to the machines and already know the MAC address for each one. Sadly, they are racked up and have no floppy or optical drive, but they DO have an exposed USB port on the front panel.

Just done a yum update and emacs's fonts seem very strange. Additionally all "" characters are displayed as a bizarre horizontally barred "W". Edit: I think it's nothing to do with emacs but with the fonts update. The default fonts are now "Baemuk Gulin", by changing them (SHIFT-LEFT_MOUSE) to, eg, Arial I can display things correctly. But I think the times fonts are now missing. Very strange.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy first time installing centos server and adding it to xp home network. I am new to setting up my own network in general. I have a home windows wired ethernet xp network (simple linxs router) with 2 xp boxes and one centos5 box all connected to the same router. I just set up the centos box running tomcat on port 8080. I need to do two very basic things at this point, but am not sure what I need to do:
What do I need to do so I can:
1. Connect in firefox on one of my xp boxes and call the tomcat server running on my centos box?
2. Be able to ftp to centos box from either of my xp boxes?
I'm having a bizarre problem with FTP transfers from my CentOS 5.3 boxes, All of my CentOS boxes appear to be limited at ~10kb/s when connecting to any FTP server outside of our network. We have no network infrastructure which would cause this, however when I use a windows based machine it is able to connect fine.
I took my laptop running Vista, and rebooted it onto a CentOS 5.3 LiveCD, and same issue.
I have checked our iptables, cleared the rules, removed the kernel modules, checked CBQ/TC it looks like nothing is limiting this. Also, other protocols work fine. Both the windows and linux boxes used passive transfers for it.
Is there anything other than iptables/CBQ which would be on a out of the box install of CentOS I should check? Is there any kernel settings for NAT connections which may cause this?
After upgrading to CentOS 5.3, emacs is unable to locate its default font. (I've been able to supply emacs with a command-line or config-file link to a different installed font, but that's a workaround, not a solution.) I'm not sure if this is a packaging error, an error in our repository configuration, or something else. Below I've inserted some info that seems relevant. I'd be happy to post other information as requested. I've also attached a probably unnecessary screenshot of emacs displaying little blocks instead of characters at the very bottom of this post. Here's the command-line error thrown by emacs on startup:
[Code]...
whether one of emacs's needed fonts has been moved from one package to another in the latest upgrade. Or (most likely) it's something else I haven't thought of.
As far as I can tell from browsing around, I should be getting 256 colors in my Emacs, but I'm not. I'm running CentOS 5.4 on an ec2 instance. I'm running Putty 0.60 on Windows 7. Putty is set to send xterm-256color for its terminal string. Putty is set to allow 256 colors. On CentOS, my $TERM is set to xterm-256color.
tput colors shows 256. I recompiled Emacs to 23.2, making sure to install libtermcap-devel beforehand, because someone claimed they needed that. But still, when I M-x list-colors-display in Emacs, it only shows 8 colors.
I have a strange problem with IpTables.after a server reboot, the complete rule-list of iptables is empty. After a manually start, all my old rules are there again.I checked chkconfig if autostart of iptables is enabled:chkconfig --list iptablesiptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a server running Fedora 6, which I wish to upgrade to Centos 5.4. This will be a lengthy switch over because of all of the apps I need to convert etc. As a precaution, I would like to keep my old Fedora running as multiboot. I have a boot partition, a fedora partition (root), and an empty partition for Centos.
Can I run the Centos installer and direct it to install onto the empty partition (I don't care if it formats it)BUT only add to the boot partition (not reformat it).? I don't want to lose the kernels/images on the boot partition, and from what I've seen most installers wipe out the boot partition prior to adding their own files.
I was checking my server and found a /net directory with nothing visible inside. The mysterious directory is /net and I checked to make sure nothing was mounted to it:

CentOS amd64 fresh installed two weeks ago. Turned off nightly per company policy. Turned on this morning, logged in, started firefox, surfed a bit, minimized, and then noticed that the bottom toolbar is empty except for the trashcan in the far right end. No alternate desktops, no minimized firefox screens, nothing.

I am having a problem editing / decoding files and characters in UFT-8 on my CentOS installs. I have a single FreeBSD server where the problem does not exist. Basically, what happens is that Danish special characters, as well as other non-ASCII characters, come out garbled when processed on the system. As an example, if I open a vim editor and type characters like � it comes out as ø
If I try using nano, the characters come out as Relatedly, if I import UTF-8 encoded files from other sources, they also appear broken when edited locally. I have tried updating the system language using system-config-language. Also, I have no desktop environment installed, I access my servers only through the command line. Here's some information that may or may not be relevant, (I have googled the problem a while and have come up empty except for references to some of these things that are already set):
[Code]....
What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.
I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?
While modifying the definition of my PS1, I saw that "[" and "]" markers should be added to help bash to compute the right display lenght.
