Re: [CentOS] Amavisd start - SOLVED
This was connected with SELinux. I disabled SELinux and rebooted (naughty me), and things are back to normal. - Jussi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Amavisd start
This is CentOS 6. Why can it be that when I try to run /etc/init.d/amavisd start ... I get this error: Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): Config file "/etc/amavisd.conf" is inaccessible: Permission denied, at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 2085. [FAILED] But when I use sh: sh /etc/init.d/amavisd start ...it starts ok. This is connected to the fact that my amavisd.conf is from another machine (CentOS 5). If I replace amavisd.conf with the default conf (that came with yum install amavisd-new), the starting problem goes away. I would like to debug this, but I don't know where to look. - Jussi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I did the "restart X and see what happens" thing for a different monitor a few months ago and it made a real mess of things. So that's specifically what I'm trying to avoid this time... if I can. Having a working xorg.conf, in my experience, is a better, cleaner way to go. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Remove/deactivate the session and language buttons in login screen
Hi All, I'm using centOS 6.4 with openbox as windows manager. I modified /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession file in orden to set up openbox as default windows manager for all users (I changed gnome-session to openbox-session). Now, I would like to remove or deactivate the the session and language button in login screen. I tried to find these using gconf-editor but without any luck. I could change the banner text message and disabled user list but nothing for the other buttons. Any clue how can I accomplish this? Thanks in advance! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

According to the comments in /etc/init/serial.conf you shouldn't have a /etc/init/ttyS0.conf or do anything to /etc/securetty. This is all handled automatically. You just add 'console=tty0 console=ttySX,YZ' to the kernel line in grub and that's it. I did it like this a couple of days ago on 6.5. Works as advertised for me but I have never used a serial console before. -Michael ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] monitor config in xorg.conf
What's the smoothest way to change the monitor on a system? I've done this before and, aside from the initial cold boot (after unplugging the old monitor and plugging in the new one), it also took restarting X (gnome) several times to get the (new) monitor tuned correctly. The "new" (actually a bit old) monitor is an Acer P191W d. It is a 19-inch, LCD flat-screen. Other specs: Aspect Ratio 16:10, Native Resolution 1440 x 900 at 75 Hz Pixel Pitch 0.284 mm Does anyone have an xorg.conf entry for this monitor and/or suggestions as to what a workable (or optimal) xorg.conf entry might be?
