I'm having some trouble getting xclock installed on RH linux (RedHat 4.1.2):not sure how this could be I thought xclock was a very common package? Is there a way to update the repository locations to point to more recent/updated database?Quote:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created the following script which runs very well when it is executed alone.This script is to be run by a third party application (Oracle clusterware).The script (when is run by the application) doesn't successfully execute the xclock command. It even doesn't return the $USER variable.Following is what I got:

When I do xhost + also it hangs.Without the xclock I am not able to run oracle reports in production for bar code printing as I am not able to start a standalone reports server. Help needed to start xclock and where to look for any help

NOTHING HAPPENS!!!! Any ideas? Here is what I have tried thus far.
Efforts:
1. gdmsetup - looked for security tab, doesn't exist
2. installed gdm2setup - still not there
3. looked for gdm.conf - not there
4. when doing ps -ef|grep X - there is a -nolisten tcp "could this be culprit" hmm not sure
5. modified /etc/ssh/ssh_config to Forward X
I have this problem. Whenever I issue command below,

ssh -X user@hostA

I'm having trouble displaying Xwindows programs on a remote machine. If I run "ssh -X newmachine" and I login and then run a program like xclock, I get the error message:
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
If I run the same command to an anothermachine which is running Ubuntu 8.04 it works fine and xclock displays on my localmachine. If I run the command "echo $DISPLAY" on newmachine, I see:
localhost:10.0
Also, I have checked and xauth is installed on newmachine. What setting I have to change on Ubuntu 10.04 to allow remote display of Xwindows programs?
I recently dist-upgraded from Debian 5 to 6 (squeeze). Since then, the xclock I run from my window manager's start script isn't displaying correctly (it displays only a "0"). The thing is, if I run the same command in my start script in my terminal, it works just fine, as it has always done...
I use this rather "old" X applications because I like my programs simple/not buggy/fast, and it's resulting a rather annoying problem (being that apparently nobody else has it...).
All other programs in my start script (gnome-terminal, emacs, xmodmap, etc) are working with no problems whatsoever.
My window manager: sawfish
Command to run xclock in my start script:
Code:
xclock -digital -brief -geometry -0+0

View 3 Replies View RelatedInstalling spice is my first attempt at compiling anything from source and it has been an incredible headache so far. After going round and round for 3 hours chasing missing dependencies I'm finally stuck at a place where I don't know how to proceed. According to the instructions I'm following: "In case of an older kernel (version < 2.6.30)Get kernel sources using the following git repository:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.30.y.git
cd <spice_root>/vdesktop/kernel
./configure
ln -s <linux-2.6.30 source dir> linux-2.6
make sync
make "
Unfortunately my CentOS box (the one I'm working on) doesn't have internet capability, so I have to download everything on my windows box and burn it to cd. So I downloaded the 2.6.30 source from kernel.org, copied it to my CentOS box and unpacked it. I got as far as "make sync" in those instructions before I hit the next snag. When I tried to "make" it gave me an error "/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/build no such file or directory"When I look for the referenced "build" file, it says link broken and when I follow the link to "/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-x86_64" which does in fact not exist.
So a quick google search reveals I need the source for my current kernel in addition to the 2.6.30 kernel source. The instructions here:
[URL] for the full kernel source look hugely complicated and involve rpms which is something I know nothing about. I tried to yum install kernel-devel hoping that would appease the unhappy make build, but I'm limited to installing things on the CentOS install DVD and yum tells me "error downloading packages" from the DVD repo, so I guess the source files are not the DVD? To top it all off, I only have 30 Mb of free space left on this drive anyhow, so I don't think there is room download the whole source anyway unless I put it on cd and mount it or link to it somehow in ways that make my tired brain hurt.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to compile an android project, which requires GCC-4.3(mandatory, GCC-4.4 doesn't work). So I downgraded the gcc-4.4 on my ubuntu 10.04 to gcc-4.3.
But then the compiling process doesn't work. It says:
cc: command not found
make: *** [...] error 127
It's weird that the shell can't find 'cc' while I do have gcc-4.3 installed.
I've tried type the following command:
export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.3"
but I don't know what's it for.

At one point I had compwiz installed, but I've un-installed it now using the Synaptic Packet Manager.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPackages installed with synaptic are usually well installed on your system (i.e. bin in /usr/bin/, etc.). However, when a software is not in the repo, I always wonder where I should install it, when everything comes together (i.e. /bin, /var, /man are all subfolders of the main folder of the software). For now, I've opted for /var/opt/ or /usr/share, but I'm not really sure this is a best practice... is there any guidelines on that?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn the beginning there is MBR. MBR looks for the active partition and tranfers control to the VBR of the active partition. MBR is where grub may be installed. which allows the user to choose an OS(a VBR) I am not sure what the program in the VBR does,but it manages to loads the OS. What am I trying to do: Backup. I ma tired of losign my partitions my bootloaders. I want to backup them all! partitions/MBR /VBR everything short of creating an disk image.
My questions:
1. say the ubuntu partition is formatted, will grub still load? if not is there a bootloader that would?am I making sense? i hope so...
2. what exactly does the VBR contain ?
2. How do I go about backing up? The mbr and the partiton table are backed up with a simple dd command. Then what else needs to be backed ? VBR's of every partition?
I just installed CentOS 5.4 Final on a 64 bit system. After install, I found a lot of 32 bit packages are also installed. Is it necessary for a pure 64 bit system to run (let's say, I will never want to run any 32 bit app on this system), or is it something I could have avoided during install?
