CentOS 5 :: Session Management Appears To Be Broken In 5.3 And 5.2
Jun 8, 2009
Session management with gnome-session-properties and GDM appears to be broken in CentOS 5.3 and 5.2. I can't comment on earlier versions.Activating "Automatically save changes to session" does work--for example, on the next login, the terminals that were open at the last logout are reopened.
But if "Automatically save changes to session" is not selected, according to help,"when you end your session the Logout Confirmation dialog displays a Save current setup option."This does not happen. No "Save current setup" is offered, regardless of whether or not "Ask on logout" is selected.
Also according to help, if one has added sessions with gnome-session-properties, then
when one logs in "on GDM, you choose a session. When you choose a session, you can
select which of the multiple sessions to use."This does not happen. No matter how many sessions one may have added with gnome-session-properties, none of them appears in the list of sessions that GDM presents.
So it appears that only a small fraction of session management functionality works in
CentOS 5.3 and 5.2.

I have Firefox 3.6.13. I cannot manually rearrange bookmarks. The help file says to open the bookmarks in the sidebar and manually drag entries to the desired position. They do not drag. In times past, clicking on bookmarks/manage bookmarks opened a window where one could drag entries to desired locations. That no longer works as well. Short of editing the html file directly with emacs, how do I rearrange my bookmarks?

Alright, I edited "/etc/default/isc-dhcp-server" and set "eth0" as the only thing listed for interfaces. I also have the code below in "/etc/dhcp/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf" and I even copied it to "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf" for good measure, and I can't get the DHCP server to start. As an intermediate to advanced user, I am under the high assumption that it is broken since everything in the docs has been set. I have googled for two days and cannot find a fix, so before I report it as a broken package, would somebody with more experience with the package chime in?
Configuration file:
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.254;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
[Code].....
I hid my wireless setup because it contains my WiFi network info including key. This box is routing, doing DNS resolution, and firewalling just fine. I just cannot get the friggin' DHCP server to start no matter what I try.
Oh, and is it safe to delete "/etc/dhcp" or "/etc/dhcp3"? They appear to be duplicates of each other...

I JUST got back on my laptop now that I have my new A/C adapter, and guess what? The package management system is broken! Which sucks, because I have quite a bit of updates to install.
Here's the details provided by Synaptic when installing the new version of AWN:

I have been playing around with quickly, and installed the package for my application. The install failed. Worse, none of my package managers can install anything anymore - I get the error
Code:
E: The package swift needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. This seems to be the same problem as here [URL] But I cannot fix it in the same way as there is no online package for me to reinstall. When I try to install the .deb I get a message that it is either corrupted or the permissions are wrong.

I am trying to install the bucktooth gopher server on a Windows xp laptop. I have cygwin 1.7 installed, and I recently installed the xinetd and perl packages. I successfully (?) configured bucktooth, but I have had trouble with the connection cutting out partway through (partial directory listings, half-blank pictures, etc.). I used tintin++ to get the connection's data directly, and found that in addition to occasionally missing lines, some lines are duplicated.
I then ran the bucktooth server directly (to bypass xinetd), and found that the server was giving consistent, correct output. I then added a test service to xinetd (m4), but after connecting to this test service (through tintin++), xinetd would respond with one line of unexpected data (such as "gf" or a line from a recent bucktooth directory listing) and close the connection. Could this be a broken xinetd? My xinetd configuration:

I am putting together some new systems for my customer and I'm having some trouble with a script that we use to back up files to a DVD R. The problem is that I can't write a 2nd session to the DVD unless I eject the disk and reload it. The drives are slimline type drives, Sony BD-5730S and Teac DV-W28S-V93, so they won't reload without human intervention. Opsys is CentOS 5.4 or RHEL 5.4. I've tried both AMD and Intel based mother boards. If i try this on Fedora 11 or 12 it works fine. This works on IDE attached drives but not a SATA attached drives. Fedora appears to use something called genisoimage instead of mkisofs. I can't get genisoimage to run on CentOS or RHEL.
Here's the code to setup the test files:
rm -f /tmp/BDtest/*
mkdir /tmp/BDtest
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/BDtest/blank.iso bs=10M count=1
for NUM in {1..160}

Whenever i click on an icon in the Places pull down menu (except Computer, Network, Connect To Server and Search For Files) nothing happens except I get Ktorrent popping up and claiming it cant open the selected Drive or Folder because it is not a valid torrent file. Which is fair enough, 'cos its not a torrent. Its the entry for my Desktop in a pull down menu in my O/S, and it does this even when I haven't been near Ktorrent in the previous hundred clicks of the mouse, or if Ktorrent is not running. If i un-install Ktorrent, the error message changed, but the correct windows did not open when asked from the Places pull down, and the error returns when its re installed- well, tried it once, in a very basic fashion through the software center.
I think the problem has been caused by two containing folders of torrent data files that have become stuck as entrys in the Pllaces menu- cack handed off me folks, was playing with new mouse settings as I was playing with new mouse settings. Problem may also be something to do with the problems I have been having with Ktorrent- it refuses to accept torrent files unless through a magnet link, bringing up the same "parse error- not valid torrent file" error message as comes up from the Places menu, only of course citing the torrent i just tried, when I know for sure the file is valid and operational because Transmission has no problem with it.I really hope someone can help me fix this, as formatting and re-installing will be a real ball ache, as I'm a new user who's spent the last week learning and starting the customization process, and I was just getting to think about backing it all up.System is Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, Pentium quad core, one 250Gb system drive and another larger drive called storage that appears under Media path both SATA2, no DVD drive as connector is in the post.

I recently removed Winblows Vista from my laptop and replaced it with Kubuntu 10.10 (I left the recovery partition on there, just in case). When I turn on the computer, the GRUB menu appears, I press enter, then a little flashing underscore appears on the screen in the top left hand corner. After a few seconds, the Kubuntu logo appears and I can log in.But yesterday I replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu 10.10. The Boot process is the same, but the little flashing underscore in the top left hand corner flashes for about 10 seconds longer then Kubuntu 10.10 did, and then a few paragraphs of text appears for a few seconds, then I am logged in automatically.Is this "unusual" boot process anything to worry about, or am I just being a noob.

I am trying to install Sun JDK, to test the file i am trying to extract the RPM using following command:
$ . ./jdk-6u10-linux-i586-rpm.bin -x
I always get this response :- Checksumming...the download file appears to be corrupted.What I've tried so far :-

jdk-6u10-linux-i586.bin
jdk-6u10-linux-i586-rpm.bin
jdk-6u11-linux-i586.bin
jdk-6u11-linux-i586-rpm.bin
- Using Sun DL Manager.I am aware of specific instructions for JDK on Centos but it seems I can't get past the first step.

I have a fairly simple iSCSI setup using two devices, but they have swapped names on different machines. running CentOs 5.3 ia64, and using iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.18.el5
vm1:
[root@vm1 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/xvda: 4194 MB, 4194304000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 509 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[Code].....
Any way to get iSCSI to mount the devices as consistent device names ?

I have to set up a box which can manage all the logins in our company and has the feature to manage every possible permission with as much comfort as possible. We are using Linux and AIX therefore my Boss is willing to switch from our Windows DC to a Linux DC. And here lies the problem, I don't really know what is needed to set the Box up to manage the Unix, Samba and LDAP accounts with one tool maybe?
I would like to know which Software exactly is needed and how to manage to get the thing to work together with a security aspect. I configured a Samba DC with LDAP, Kerberos and TLS but it looks like I overdid it because Kerberos is not able to manage the things we need in a manner that the other Admins in my Company would get things done in a short time.
Therefore I would like to get listed all the Software needed and maybe some How Tos how to get thing working, because I am losing my nerves on this matter.
In the last 3 weeks I have set up several test boxes but every time something doesn't work. My biggest Problem is to get Samba and LDAP to work together with TLS or another security scenario.

I have to run a graphical session for using something with wine on a server (unfortunately :((( ) and I'd like to run a TWM session. As I would like to lock the session, I settled things to log on from XDM. However, I can't find anyway to lock the session. Is it possible (I guess yes) ? How can it be achieved?

following situation and configuring authentication for Windows users on my CentOS clients please:IHAC WIN2003 R2 Domaincontroller with ALL my users and groups maintained there. For Usermapping (SID to UID/GID) I want to use IMU which is included with WIN2003 R2 srv and extends my Active Directory schema for UID, GID, NIS Domain etc. I want now authenticate my Windows users on my CentOS clients via their "domainnameusername" and passwords on the CentOS clients.
I also have a NAS server which has usermapping integrated and resolves the Windows SID's to the UID/GID's configured within the IMU schema extensions. Now I have no idea to setup my CentOS clients to use winbind, PAM and LDAP (IMU supports LDAP queries for UID/GID resolving) WITHOUT needing any Samaba Server or functionality.
* Do I need to configure the smb.conf file because my usermapping is done on the NAS Server and I want to resolve my Windows Users/Groups UID/GID's from IMU via LDAP?
* Do I (just) need to Join the AD (2003 native) or even using Kerberos with generating ktpass.exe keytab files (what is needed/recommended and what is the difference?) Can I authenticate the users without using Kerberos?
For e.g. my username is "domainuser_a" and within the IMU the UID is set to "12345", I don't want Samba/winbind to do usermapping again based on the configured values in the smb.conf file. Some hints would be really nice for me to understand how exactly it works and what is needed...

I am in the process of creating a kickstart configuration file for some RedHat 5.5 and Centos 5.5 servers (Production and test respectively).I have googled about a bit but I cannot find a good list of the bare minimum packages required for a command-line system.If anyone knows how I can trim this list down anymore it would be much appreciated. The aim of this kickstart.cfg is to get the system booted to a bare minimum required to install Chef (Server management software). Chef will then setup Apache, Ruby on rails environment etc.
All this server will need to do is, from a static IP, Host a Ruby on rails app, send emails, send data to a server on the web, accept ssh and occasionally and connect to a SMB/CIFS share This list was taken from the anaconda-ks.cfg file after a RedHat install of what I thought was a pretty minimal system onto a VM but I noticed that cups, the avahi daemonsand gam_server are installed and running which I do not believe are needed for a pure web server.I know that these types of questions are hard to answer without a complete knowledge of the operating environment and what "minimum" is in this case ("@core only? but I wanted yum damnit!")
@admin-tools
@base
@core

I am using CentOS 5.4. I created a bash script that does some checking before running any commands. If the check fails, it will simply exit 0. The problem I am having is that on our server, the script will exit the su or ssh session when the exit 0 is called.
#!/bin/bash
# check if directory has contents and exit if none
if [ -z "`ls /ebs_raid/import/*.txt 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
echo "ok"
exit 0
fi
Here is the output:
[root@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]# . test.sh
ok
[russ@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]$
I was removed from my sudo session, if I wasn't in the sudo session, it would have logged me out of my ssh session. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here or where to start.
