[389-users] 389 Server and MMR

2011-02-18 Thread cfr100
Hello, I'm trying to set up 389 on a CenOS 5.5 machine using the setup-ds-admin.pl script and the mmr.pl script. They seem to be inconsistent with each other. setup-ds-admin.pl wants a "directory server identifier" (defaults to short name). This becomes the slapd instance name in /etc/dirsrv. mm

You can play them using Xine or Kaffeine. Just need to get the right plug-ins for it. For *.mov files I think you need mainly the libquickttime & the win32 plugins from the xine web site (just google it) This are the stuff I do for many years to make Xine & Kaffeine work flawlesly: yum install lib

Launching metacity

One of my F14 PCs consistently fails to launch metacity after a reboot. I added it to the startup menu, but that did no good. I have to launch a terminal, become root, and command "metacity &" Is it normally launched as part of something else which I may have messed up somehow?

You're probably not even using that kernel or that version of open-vm-tools. Look at you /etc/yum.conf file. installonly_limit is probably set to 3, which would mean that it only keeps 3 kernels around. Run 'rpm -qa | grep kernel-2.6' to confirm. Then run 'uname -r' to see which kernel your actu

In that case, do not use the command line yum. Use the GUI YumX which will let you uncheck things you do not want installed. However, I do not know if it will inform you of impending deletion of something due to dependency resolution. On 02/18/2011 09:20 AM, Dario Lesca wrote: > On my F14, today
