I'm looking to customize the environment for new users by changing the items in the GNOME menu, change the panel layout, add some shortcuts, and do a few other things. I looked in /etc/skel and there doesn't seem to be anything GNOME related in there; I also tried to put .gconf, .gconfd and .gnome2 from my home directory into /etc/skel and that didn't do what I wanted.
i have created a wordpress user with a symbolic link from his home (/home/wordpress) to /usr/share/wordpress but when wordpress ftps to wordpress home dir it does not follow the sym-link. is there a way to set default ftp dir for the wordpress user to /usr/share/wordpress rather than /home/wordpress?
Howto change default editor by live usb-hdd creation? Normally, I can change from the command line:# update-alternatives --config editorbut howto put it into live config?
I use Pidgin for Gadu-Gadu protocol. I use it almost entirely to communicate with polish people. Each time I open new tab i need to manually change to "polish" from the context menu.
Is there a way to change the default spell check language without changing the environment language? I don't mind if it is some dirty hack or requires recompiling but since I'm not the only one trying to do that some simple tweak solution would be nice.
I have installed CentOS on two machines. On both these machines the language won't change in gnome, but it changes on the login screen. In gnome, the langugare is always swedish. I want Swedish keyboard (this works), but everything else English. locale gives:
I got some trouble with suspending/hibernation using gnome or mate. None of them can suspend the T450 correcly neither to disk nor to ram. If I run pm-utils from a terminal pm-sleep and pm-hibernate work fine both. So I guess all I need is to change the commands which are run by clicking on the suspend or hibernate button, but how to change what is behind the GUI.
I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on our laptop. for convenience I also installed the dutch (gnome) translation and selected Dutch as the default language so all menu's and localisation is suitable for the Netherlands and the misses understands stuff. However I noticed that the gnome terminal is also translated so all output from bash is now in Dutch too. This is really inconvenient since I have been using bash in english on fedora and ubuntu for 10 years now. So is there a way to reconfigure gnome term (bash) to default back to english and leave the GUI in Dutch?
I've just installed gnome in debian squeeze and I can not find how to change gnome language. I've found that you have to change it in gdm, but i don't know how to add new languages to the current ones.
I am running Debian 6.0.1, GNOME version 2.30.2. For some reason the "language support" option is missing. What do I need to do in order to recover it?
A week ago I opened this thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=61580 in "Board index ‹ Help ‹ Installation" and asked for a moderator to move this to here. Because it hasnt happened up to know, I am reopening the thread here. It would be reeeeally great if somebody could help me with my problem!

How can I change the default file manager in GNOME? I've got these notes but neither methods work:
GUI Change under 'Session control' in 'Ubuntu Tweak' Delete nautilus and type in pcmanfm or another file manager such as thunar Apply Quit ubuntu-tweak Reboot
I recently went through a desktop crisis after removing unity from 11.04, installing openbox, hating it, and then installing Gnome 3. What's weird is certain applications like chrome and some other system things appear to use the theme I have (as in, they look nice) but windows like terminal, file browser, and most other applications including the default log in screen all look like windows 95.
you can see the square unstyled buttons. I'm just wondering how to apply a full on system theme to apply to all windows in gnome 3. tweak-gnome didn't look like it could do it, and after running through the themes (redmond, clearlooks, etc) they didn't have any impact on these windows.
I'm using CFEngine 2.2.8 to configure a network of Debian servers, the servers have two interfaces eth0 and eth1, how can I configure cfagent to take as the default interface eth1? eth0 is the internal interface and eht1 is the one with the public IP, I need to define classes based on lists of public IPs and it would be really helpfull if I could use functions as IPRange that only consider IP in eth0 interface.
After trying to backup my hard drive on my HP Mini 210-1054TU notebook PC, On start up the users menu comes up (A little changed) and when I sign in it comes back with a window flag that say: The configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly.I can booth with a stick and see my files and directory but, I am not allowed to open any. There is no access to a terminal or anything but, the users menu. It appears to take the password as, if not right, it would say so but, only comes back with same menu and window flag.Ironic, I was trying to backup my files so I would not lose them.
I have got Ubuntu with Xfce installed, and I would like to change default session to Gnome, or LXDE (depending on if my computer would run it properly). Looks like there is no options button while logging in, or anything similar.
I would like to make LXDE the default desktop for ALL USERS on my LTSP clients. There are about 60 users so far.On my server, LXDE is default for everyone.But on the clients, each user has to change to LXDE individually. How can I make LXDE default on all clients?I've been looking through the forums all day, but could not find an answer to this question, so hopefully we can get an answer and my title will help others.
I am *finally* getting around to rebuilding my file-sharing computer. I'll be sharing files with both Linux and Windoze machines. It's a home network, so there's nothing fancy needed. I know I have to tweak my smb.conf file until I'm satisfied with the features and security. I'm using SWAT and I'm starting with a bare-bones conf file. It's not secure but I can see the server and selected files/directories from my other Linux box.
My really dumb question is, do I have to reboot both the server and the client machines every time I change the SAMBA configuration? I thought I just had to stop and restart the SAMBA service in the SWAT software - but then the server disappears from my client. It looks like I need to reboot both machines for the client to see the server.
I have restart the apache and varnish services. I have also rebooted the server but varnish will not listen on port 80 (or other non default ports). On port 6081 the application works fine. But how can i fix this ?
Source Varnish port 80
I can use the application with the following command
Code: Select allvarnishd -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -a 0.0.0.0:80.
But why is this not working with the normal config file. Varnish are than listen to port 80. With every server reboot i need than to run this command. So i would like to use the config file.
I run Debian Squeeze on my Lenovo ThinkPad W500. Today I tried to use the expresscard slot on the device and was disappointed to find that it didn't work. A bit of digging revealed that the pciehp module was not loaded (but is required for hot-plugging these kinds of devices).Can anyone explain to me why this is the case? All other hardware on my system has had the module auto-loaded on boot-up, but why not pciehp for my expresscard slot?
I know that in an xterminal I can redefine the default colour with something like !!red URxvt.color1: rgb:cc/00/00 URxvt.color9: rgb:ef/29/29 Is it possible to do something similar in the Linux (framebuffer) console?
So far I've tried to add a number to 'GRUB_DEFAULT=', but it wouldn't want to boot in anything other than Debian or Windows, same with StartUp-Manager...
I currently have the liquorix kernels installed, but I can't get to use them as the standard Debian kernel is always picked. So is there any way to change this behaviour?
I try to change the default character encoding in gnome-terminal. I want to use UTF8, but every gnome-terminal i start uses "ANSIX3.4-1968".
In the menu, when i go in Terminal => Set character encoding i have a list with two items: [x] Current Locale (ANSIX3.4-1968) [ ] Unicode (UTF-8)
I don't know why the first item appears, i have another debian box and it has only the UTF-8 encoding available. I cannot remove the first item in "add or remove" sub menu !! Probably because it is related to "current locale"
Here is the output of "locale", if it can helps: boulzor@antec:~$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
I installed it from the packages list and the eye candy has been good.
However, in trying to fix an error showing up in syslog
Feb 1 17:37:38 host ntop[30764]: **ERROR** Buffer too short @ dataFormat.c:144 (increase to at least 56) [230982 years, 187 days 7:107374]
I started looking at the configuration files; well attempted. It asks for a login. It isn't any user or root, but apparently is admin, but IO don't ever remember setting it.
Various web search suggests it is done at compile(downloaded compiled) /installation, but I have no recollection of entering any.
There is a Redhat/Centos wrinkle ntop -set-admin-passwd=password; but that puts out a lot of lines, then hangs and has no effect.
Note, despite message(old version of ntop), it is up todate in packages.
