I've recently installed Centos 5.3. Each time the pc starts KDE starts automaticaly, how can I remove that? I dont want to uninstall KDE, I just want to begin in the konsole and start KDE only if I need it.
I delete the file and within about a week i am back to a "out of space error" I have tried root owning the file with no permission to write, but it still gets written, just with a number on the end
the system appears to be working fine otherwise. I could set a cron remove but that seems a bit more hacky than telling it to shut up.
I have downloaded CENTOS 5.5 32-bits ISO and burnt in a CD. While trying to install it in VMplayer, the installation is started automatically without asking me to input anything.
How can I stop the auto installation? Or I have downloaded a wroing image?
I need to install in my centos 5.3 a remote sesion login like a Terminal Server on Windows. I tried to use a VNC but I have a problem and it is that the user must be loged before on local machine. I need to can wake on lan my server and log in with that program.
I have a Centos 5.5 and we make remote connections with Xfree from Windows to the Linux Server. We start the Xsession with the option -clipboard, but it's not working. Which settings do I have to change in the server configuration that the clipboard works in the Xsession?

I recently installed a server with Software RAID. I tested by powering it down, unplugging one drive and powering it up. Magically, it worked!I found out later that I have to manually add individual devices like md1 to sda2 md2 to sda4. I got all of them added and rebuilt but my question is: Is there a way to make it so that if I "removed" a drive and put it back, the system will senses the new drive and rebuilds based on some internal table?
I decided to stop using my password to enter Ubuntu (recently installed) and switch to automatic start up. Hit the relevant key, then restart. Received three notices, closed two, entered pass to get encryption code at third, then nothing but a blank, Ubuntu-colour screen. Unable to open Ubuntu. How the heck to I get myself out of this trap?
bluetooth-applet is not auto-starting on one of the 2 users of a system. In the user's environment where auto-start does not work it can be started from a shell without any error and bluetooth otherwise works fine. There is an entry in the start up applications preferences for both users. We are running 9.10.

What is the proper way to stop tftpd from starting up? There is no numbered rc script symlink for it so I can't use update-rc.d. I don't want to just hack a file unless that is considered "the way".

I have a certain process (or processes) and I want to wait for them to finish before launching another one. Do I have to make a while loop checking the process for this task or is there a ready command for it?
I was going through some settings and inadvertently changed the UID for my primary logon. I then realized what I did and changed it back and set the group back to my username.Since then, it only auto-logs in on startup. I cannot get it to prompt for a password again. I've tried normal things like changing "ask for password on login" and then changing it back, but that hasn't helped. I'm sure there's something else that I'm missing, but don't know what it is. Right now, it says "asked on login" but it doesn't.
I have one of those lovely Western Digital external hard drives and it seems to have an UDF "partition" on the hard drive itself. I cannot format it, remove it from the hard drive itself, or disabling the UDF seems to be a no go once its popped into a Linux distribution of any kind.
So my question is, is it possible to stop the UDF from even auto mounting at all?
I updated my fc12 x86_64 server today, and one of the updated included kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 from the previous one of kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64.When I boot with that kernel, it stops when my logical volumes that are built on a raid 5 array (linux software raid built using mdadm) are not there.I can start them afterward with mdadm --auto-detect which seemingly loads the appropriate modules and starts the array, but I have never had to do this before.
Reading the mdadm man page, it mentions that this is generally done by the initrd. So, I am guessing the initrd that came with the new kernel is missing something.
This machine has a combined key/indicator light to turn the wireless networking on/off The change of state of the switch is detected by software with the switch off iwconfig shows
Anyone know how to stop the pureftpd starting up automatically? I've tried the usual in /etc/init.d/pureftpd but it still starts and I need to log in and close it in the admin UI or in terminal.
A server like Lighttpd or Apache starts automatically at boot after you install it. How do I stop it from auto starting? I'd prefer to manually start it when I need it.

I just installed 9.10 on my Gateway MD2614U and everything seems to be working but the mouse. Every now and then when i open places and hover over an item it brings it up without me clicking. It does it on other things too.
When I use "Search for Files" in Ubuntu (9.1 and 10.04), sometimes the computer continues to search after I've double clicked one of the results, and it noticeably slows the launching of that file unless I immediately click "stop" on the search window
