Changing Cursor Color In Gedit

Can you guys advise on how to resolve this? We have a machine (RHEL 6 32bit 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.i686) that boots to a black screen. I can SSH into it from my machine, but when you're physically at the machine it just displays a black screen.

I have tried booting from the previous 2 kernels, but still get the black screen.

I am assuming something got hosed with the video stuff? Its an ATI Radeon 4000series card. Should I install the ATI driver from their website and try? We have never had to do that with these machines though.


Also, when running a yum update, we receive this error. I'm not sure how to resolve this and if resolving this will fix the video issues.

Code:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Heres after running yum update --skip-broken:

I have just installed a new debian OS and want to change a file.
For some reason, gedit didn't come pre-packaged so I installed it with apt-get.

When I use a terminal as root, gedit won't open. I get the following error message:
Code:

gedit grub
(gedit:3679): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session 
manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication
protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication 
failed

Gedit will open page files on the desktop - but not on the terminal.
Is this because I haven't done something with the new install or should I remove gedit and reinstall?

I'm working on switching from mac os x to gnu/linux. so far the distros that seem most favorable to me are the ones listed here.

what should I try? also, x86_64 is the version I should use for a mac, not i386 or i486 or i686, right? I know I can run i386 but I think x86_64 is what will allow me to use all the ram.

I am trying dragora right now and I can't get it to install. I used gnu parted to make a linux partition but it doesn't recognize it when I try to setup.

how do I remove or partition the gpt?

Is there any way to make multiple bootable install partitions on non-rewritable DVDs?

Any tips/tricks on how and what order I should be installing the RHEL6 packages so that I don't get dependency errors would be much appreciated.

I have sudo access (unrestricted I think) to a Linux VM running RHEL 6.3. I am trying to install an IBM product which requires KSH along with a bunch of Linux packages (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) before it can install properly. Minimal documentation for installing on a Linux environment from IBM.

Many of the packages I am trying to install gives me a dependency failu

Should I be downloading earlier versions of glibc from the Red Hat site? Please note, I installed the x86_64-bit versions of the required packages with no issues... just getting stuck on the 32-bit components.

Also, this system is internal facing and has no route out to RHN so yum installs automatically return errors, which is why I am stuck using rpm.

Thanks in advance!

Hello - I admit to being new to Linux. I'm not sure if this problem should be re-routed to a more advanced level, though.

I downloaded Oracle Linux ver. 7 on my server with Server settings (and a Gnome GUI). After running through the terminal basics, I tried opening gedit to test out its capabilities. It wouldn't let me save to folder; it just grayed out and I had to quit the application.

I modified gedit to -rwxrwxrwx (chmod) and took ownership of the file (chown) under my user profile and group. When that didn't work, I re-logged in as root and modified gedit back to root ownership and group, and it still won't save changes to any file location.

One more thing: gksudo didn't work, either...

Any suggestions?

dnw is a download tool for ARM. Maybe secbulk is it's driver. I don't know much about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was trying to write a simple menu using the "dialog" function only to find out that the version of linux i am running (I have previously worked on HP/Sun/ICL/AIX versions of unix)does not have the "dialog exe" and the one that someone has put on this box is not compatible.As follows:-

file /dir/dir/dir/dailog Retruns:-
dialog: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

where as
file /usr/bin/diff
/usr/bin/diff: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Where can I get the correct version of dialog.

uname -a gives :-
2.6.18-371.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 5 21:20:46 EDT 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have setup postfix in Oracle Linux VM in virtualbox to test simple email sends that I am sending it to my personal email.

I have configured the following in main.cf file

myhostname = abc.testserver.org
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = localhost
#relayhost = localhost.localdomain - I have this commented as of now, but I tried with the localhost.localdomain, IP address and none worked. I also do not have my ISP's server details and I also do not want to use it.

I checked the /var/log/maillog and I see the following

Code:

I can also see the messages in /var/spool/mqueue/. The telnet to the localhost 25 port also works. Is any of the config settings wrong?

Thanks.

I have Ubuntu 14.04. gedit is my preferred text and code editor. All of a sudden I am getting this warnng when I open a txt file:

Quote:
(gedit:3860): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkScrolledWindow 0x9bba3c8 is mapped but visible child GtkScrollbar 0x9bbc7a8 is not mapped
There are four such warnings in a row (or rather column). They litter my terminal output. What is this and how to correct it?

Thanks, - A.

I am. Having trouble installing Linux on my 2011 27" iMac. When I boot from the DVD I just get a black screen with a flashing cursor at the top left.
What am I doing wrong?
