General :: Dim Display On The First Installation Window Of RHEL 5.5?
Oct 5, 2010
I am trying to install RHEL 5.5 using rhel-server-5.5-i386-dvd DVD on my DELL Inspiron 1464 Laptop. However, after probing the hardware, I see a message at the bottom of the screen regarding xwindow, (cannot read it as it disappears fast) and then the first page of installation loads.(this has a redhat logo and a forward button at lower right corner) BUT this page is extremely DIM. Its as good as its not there.I have
I use putty to get to my RHEL 5.3 workstation from my Windows laptop.
Typically, if I want a new terminal on my windows 7 workstation from another terminal or mc, I have to type start and I will see a new terminal window running the default shell.
QUESTION : What is the equivalent command in RHEL 5.3 (and or solaris) to create a new terminal window from the command line ? I will be entering this command from the shell prompt or mc's command line.
In Windows, if I want to start another terminal and in that terminal, I want to run a program, I can do "start program.exe arg1 arg2". this will create a new terminal window and runs program.exe in that terminal window. I don't have to create a terminal and then in a separate step run the program. How can I do this in Linux ?
I have RHEL 5.3 running on Cray CX1. I am trying to connect to HP LP3065 30" monitor and not getting any video display (no response at all). Monitor is working fine on Windows system. Monitor has only DVI-D ports and my Cray system also has DVI socket to connect with. I checked for drivers at HP site and I couldn't find one anywhere else. I have NVIDIA quadro FX4800 video card and NVIDIA driver installed.
I've checked gdmsetup and there isn't anything that I can see that keeps my general users from getting in remotely. I can get the Gnome to login as root but not as a user. SSH from PuTTY works fine for all users. The error I get actually says that the username or password is incorrect - checked using SSH and it is fine.
I am RHEL 5. I just installed it and when i try to config display it how only two resolution by default 640x480,800x600.No other resolution option is shown. I tried by editing xorg.conf but of no use.
can not ping from host (RHEL 6) to RHEL 5 in (virtual)? I have stopped iptables on both machines. But still not able to ping from host machine to virtual.
We have a client that is currently running Ultramonkey on their RHEL4.5 server (these are oracle application servers) for load balancing. We are currently busy with a project whereby we are upgrading their systems and one of the upgrades is to take their operating systems to RHEL5.4. I have downloaded the Ultramonkey rpm's from the website however this is specifically for RHEL 3. I am trying to get hold of the correct rpm's and installation process for RHEL5.4.
I am trying to download RHEL 5.4 AS version for testing..But under [URL] There is no specific link for AS version or ES version..How can I detect which iso is for AS and which one for ES..? There are separate links for AS and ES version for RHEL 4.x version but why is it not available for RHEL 5.x versions?
I am having trouble writing an Xlib application that displays a window. The most frustrating thing is that I've written applications like this before, and never had any problems. For some reason I cannot get this program to work properly. I'm running KDE and when I launch the program, a "button" for the application will appear on the application panel, however, no window will display. It is possible to right click on the panel button and select the Close item which will successfully close the window.
The following is source code that when built will exhibit the behaviour described above code...
I don't understand why after a successful installation of RHEL 5.3 in my PC (dual-boot with Windows XP x64), the hard disk just reads continously and my monitor.just went blackout. This happens (3x) everytime I setup it for the first time, re:detection of hardware,network, creation of a new user, etc. Although my GRUB is working perfectly.
I am trying to install and configure nagios on RHEL 5. I have apache 2 installed and php all working as exepected. When i install nagios following the these steps [URL]. The nagios folder that is suppossed to be placed under apache2's httpd is no where to be seen. So when I try to open localhost/nagios/. It says: The requested URL /nagios/ was not found on this server. What can I do for the nagios to work on this system. The apache and php are working fine.
I had rhn supported system and there I cant find any respos in /etc/respos.d/ directory. If I enter yum list still I can see the list of rpms. Now my question is I need to install request tracker in this system. I had d/l the .gzip file and extracted too. Its asking to make a repository. Now I had made one repo in /repos.d/ dir. But didn't able to find out what to write in baseurl (had also extracted the packages in /var/ftp/pub/ so do I need to write ftp://ip/ or what). ftp/http. I had extracted the packages in /root.
Im trying to "ssh -X" my university server for accessing cadence, but i get this:
HTML Code: *Warning* X Window Display Initialization Failure *Warning* (DISPLAY "<not defined>") Apparantly i need to assign it my machine IP e.g like: HTML Code: setenv DISPLAY machine:0.0
But unfortunately it still doesnt solve my problem. All it does is stop printing this warning message as a result.
I've been experimenting with the system and as these things go I've done something and I can't undo it through lack of understanding. I've managed to disable the display of minimised windows in the panel at the bottom of the screen. To compensate I'm using a Widget which allows me to get back to the window as I need it. But I'd prefer to be able to simply click on the panel.
I am trying to write a small gtk+-2 program to display whatever image it is given and I was wondering if anyone out there has done something similar. I am not too familiar with writing programs for gtk and its been a while since I've fiddled with C. I went over the tutorial for gtk and it seams pretty easy to get a window to display, but I do not see anything that refers to loading an image or displaying it in the window. I am wondering if this can be done purely with gtk or will I need to use some type of image library like imlib2?
Usually the menu bar, and menus, are displayed within the applications main window. With a small screen this obviously wastes space so my idea is to reserve a location, small square space probably on a corner, on the screen that when clicked it will pop out the current selected applications menu, allow selection, and then disappear again. The application itself would look fullscreen, or if windowed will still not have a menu bar but access available via the "square."
Likewise instead of the usual task bar and "applications/places/system" menus (ala, ubuntu) a second square would be reserved which would pop-out and show the running tasks, followed by the menus, and allow selection, then disappear. Is this possible with GTK+ as it stands, as I'm guessing that by default everything must be contained within an applications main window?
Although having said that, gimp allows the tool windows to be external to the edited document, so perhaps it would be possible to make the menu bar into a toolbox? I guess the difficult problem would be how to make the currently selected applications "tool square" be on top when there could be multiple applications running. The "tool square" and "task/menu square" could be transparent (maybe just an outline) so that although always there they wouldn't hide any underlying windows/programs/etc.
Basically the idea is to get rid of wasted screen, in ubuntu (on gtk/gnome) a minimum of 5 "bars" is wasted screen real-estate:- 1, Running aplications: 2, Ubuntu's main menu bar: 3, Applications status bar: 4, Applications menu bar: 5, Applications description (min/max/close) bar. Take all the above and replace it with two clickable, potentially invisible, squares say where the default "hide all windows" and "deleted trashcan" icons currently reside.
During the installation of RHEL it asks that you may enter the installation number to get packages , updates .....etc, now my server is up and running and i need to get the number that I added during installation

I wanna configure RAID 1 within TWO HDD in RHEL-5 during installation moment .I have the following questions regarding software raid vs hardware raid :
1) What is the basic difference between hardware and software raid
2) In software raid , If I use two HDD as RAID1 , then if one HDD is failed , can I boot it from another HDD ?
3)In software RAID , Between two HDD , If One HDD is failed then if I remove bad HDD and add a spare HDD then is it automatically synchronized with FIRST HDD ?
4) In software raid is it possible to keep '/boot' partition in two HDD (I use 2 HDD as RAID1) as separate partition ?
5) Finally is there any documnets or sites where I get software raid configuration during INSTALLATION moment in using GRAPHICAL mode , plz give me the address.
I have a bit of a problem w/ the windowing UI when I drag any window left, the display gets messed up (see attached screen shot). It doesn't matter what the program is, even happens in explorer. I've done some searching of the Internetz and this form and all I could find was this bug, that doesn't have any updates on it:
Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can make the lines go away by triggoring a repaint (by either dragging another window on top of this one or minimizing and maximizing the problem window, but it's still a bit annoying.I'm running Fedora 14 and have ran all of the updates it prompted me to run.
I'm using ubuntu Maverick on a Dell 1545 and I'm pretty much a newbie to ubuntu. Most of the things have been fine so far, I just plugged it into a proxyless internet connection and adjusted my location for time zone (I've been using a porxy server previously for internet which didn't allow changes in location and time zone work) and since then that calendar has moved out of the scope on the top right corner of my screen and I'm unable to move it.
I have been messing about with my themes lately and was wondering if it was possible to force the title of a window to display on the right side and have the buttons on the right. I'm already aware of using gconf-edit to change the order and position of the buttons but I can't seem to figure out how to move the title.
I'm not sure what happened, I enabled Nvidia support and all of sudden the internal layout of windows, look..well old-school, like they did back 10 years ago. The screen-shot explains all. I'm sure this is just a setting SOMEWHERE in Gnome but I'd be danged if I can find it.
