Hi Miranda,

The attached  files are xtartup and my log file.

The following is xstartup.
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde &


Thanks very much.
Yawei

Try removing all extra lines and using only the following lines in your 
file, since if I recall you are trying to start gnome, not kde, right? 
Also, kde won't work since you did not install it on your 6.x box.

#!/bin/sh
gnome-session &

Another thing, I forgot to check, you are killing your vnc server and 
restarting it each time you change your xstartup, correct? Just 
disconnecting and reconnecting a vncviewer will not change the running 
server, and sometimes people who are not familiar with vnc get confused 
on that point, so I just thought I'd ask (to be safe).

[CentOS] The repodata directory is currently broken on several, if not all, mirrors for the 6.5 iso files

2014-03-29 Thread jshields
The repodata directory on all 6.5 isos that I have sampled have an issue where 
the file names don't have extensions resulting in a yum repo error on 
installation just after disk partitioning. This error prompts you with the 
choice between either allowing you choose another repo or to exit the 
installer. I remedied this issue with the following:

[root@testserv /root/test/centos]$ find repodata/ -type f -not -name repomd.xml 
-exec sh -c 'mv {} -v $(grep -Po "(?<=href=\")({}.*?)(?=\"/>)" 
repodata/repomd.xml)' \;

The repomd.xml file has the correct names for the files, the files in this 
directory just have the sha sums as their file names, not the full path name as 
defined in the xml file. This results in yum breaking just after partitioning. 
The only way I was able to get around this before modifying the iso file was to 
follow the onscreen prompt and enter in a valid mirror as an HTTP/FTP host. 
This issue is currently afflicting all variants of 6.5.

As of this writing the two test files I just confirmed have this issue are:

http://mirror.cisp.com/CentOS/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso
http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso

Last night I downloaded the minimal, livecd, livedvd and netinstall isos from 
10+ mirrors. All of them triggered the error from the files not being named 
correctly.

I downloaded the x86_64 minimal iso file from the bluehost.com and the 
kernel.org mirrors, and I'm not seeing what you're describing. Both have 
the full pathnames in the repodata directory.

Do you have some unusual mount options that you're using?  I tested with 
a simple "mount -o ro,loop" invocation.

I have just downloaded the two iso files again and they have the correct
file names now. Hopefully someone else noticed this and pushed a change
out, or I'm just crazy. This isn't any issue any more.
