How to change the display manager from GDM to SLIM?
by Kennet R. Iversen 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

I have tried to get slim to start as my login manager instead of gdm, but everything I have tried so far has not worked. I have installed slim via yum and then tried the following approaches: First I tried to put the following line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager /usr/bin/slim That did not work. Then I tried to put this line in /etc/inittab: x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null This did not work. I then tried to put this line in /etc/sysconfig/desktop DISPLAYMANAGER="SLIM" and then added these to lines in /etc/X11/prefdm just after the GNOME/gdm part: elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = SLIM ]; then preferred=/usr/bin/slim This did not work either. I have not been able to find a solution that works. So, how do I change the default display manager from GDM to SLIM? Any suggestions are welcome Kennet

Where should one be reporting hardware issues ? Kerneltrap ? Bugzilla ? Here ?
by linux guy 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

I got a new laptop this week and I've found a few hardware issues. Some are minor, others are major. 1) Synaptics touchpad "on/off" button doesn't work. 2) eSATA port doesn't seem to initialize properly, external drive doesn't work. 3) Multi format optical drive doesn't handle CDs properly. 4) Sound card doesn't output sound out of the speakers or headset jack#1. Where and how should these issues be reported ? Thanks

Hi, I've setup a LVM volume on several disks. It appears that one at least of the disks has crashed. Is there a way to recover data on the good disks or all is lost ? Thanks for any help BR

[OT] CentOS 3rd party repositories?
by Marko Vojinovic 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

Forgive me for querrying the Fedora list for this, but I really don't want to subscribe to a Yet Another Mailing List just to have this one single basic question answered. It is quite unlikely that I will be having any more questions about CentOS in the future, so... Ok, to the problem --- I have one (soon to be two) CentOS 5.2 machine(s), and I seem to miss some packages that I am used to in Fedora: 1) kmod-nvidia and kmod-fglrx --- searching through the web, all I see about CentOS is installing/compiling drivers straight from nVidia and ATI. Are there maintained yumable packages that get autoupdated along with CentOS kernel like the ones for Fedora? 2) BackupPC --- so far it was running quite well for me on Fedora, but it does not seem to exist for CentOS, which comes with some other (equivalent) tools. Am I destined to use those, or am I missing some repository where backuppc can be found? Or should I compile it myself? 3) Cairo-dock --- ok, this is not essential, but I like it :-). However, yum says no matches found. Just to note, so far I have enabled the default base, extras, updates repositories from CentOS, and in addition the Dag repository for RHEL5 and adobe repository for flash. <rant> ATrpms has way too obsolete installation instructions (some others too --- Dries comes to mind) to be seriously considered as a reliable repository. For example, Livna has a .rpm file for each Fedora distro that I just have to install and it is ready to go. On ATrpms website I was told to manually edit the .repo files according to the template given for Fedora 7 (!!!), changing some parameters to suit my own distro (???)... Wtf? Did I miss the right instructions page? This is just user-unfriendly, to say the least. But I may even try it out if someone just gives me the exact contents of the appropriate .repo file that works with CentOS 5.2, and if ATrpms has all these packages that I need, updated more often than their website... </rant> This machine is meant to be unattended (physically, not remotely) for a period of 3 years, so I guessed that CentOS is the distro that would Just Work in such conditions, and at the same time it is similar enough to Fedora that I shall be comfortable admining it remotely as neccessary. The other machine is to be used as a desktop machine by a serve-on-a-plate kind of user who knows nothing beyond kde menus (hence the question about automatic graphics drivers), also admined by me remotely. I will be thankful for any suggestions about the above. I do not insist on yum and will content to build from source, if I can be guaranteed that such setup will not break after 3 years of possible (regular) kernel updates. Excuse me again for not going to CentOS list for this, it seems obvious that a lot of people here use CentOS as well, so... ;-) Best, :-) Marko

Getting NM updates back out
by Bill Davidsen 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

The recent NetworkManager upgrades have totally solved my disconnect problems, I can not connect under any circumstances. Is there any better way to back out this evil other than a total reinstall and upgrade to about two weeks ago? I am not asking how to do anything else, please don't waste your time and mine telling me about bug reports and debugging, this machine MUST be working ASAP and I'm looking for the fastest path back, not the path forward. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot
