How to change the display manager from GDM to SLIM?
by Kennet R. Iversen
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

Where should one be reporting hardware issues ? Kerneltrap ? Bugzilla ? Here ?
by linux guy
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

LVM big problem
by Luc MAIGNAN
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

[OT] CentOS 3rd party repositories?
by Marko Vojinovic
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, :-)

Getting NM updates back out
by Bill Davidsen
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.
