First let me declare that I’m new to CentOS. The folowing is a note to self which demonstrates how we search for a package that provides some commands and intall it using yum on CentOS. When I ran ‘lsb_release -a’, the following message is returned: To fix it, we need to install the package which provides lsb_release command. So, let’s install redhat-lsb package: Wow, it needs to download 86M just to install that package?...
This how Evolution looks like on Kubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric). To fix this, make sure this package is installed: “humanity-icon-theme”, then create $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. [Settings] gtk-fallback-icon-theme = Humanity Restart Evolution, and it should be fixed. Credit: [solution] Evolution in Kubuntu 11.10

After upgrading to Xfce 4.10 from 4.8, I noticed that the clock/notification area no longer pushed to the right edge of the panel. This is due to a change in the Window Buttons panel plugin which no longer expands to fill the available space[1]. To emulate the old behavior, add a transparent separator between the window buttons and the clock/notification area, setting its expand property. Voilla! [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce
It’s a bit unintuitive to set non-persistent session on FreeNX server. After a few attempts, here is the working settings: Edit /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg: ENABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION=""<br /> DISABLE_PERSISTENT_SESSION="all"

# pkg_version -v Running pkg_version -v could take a while. If we only want a quick look: # pkg_info -xI If we want to see if some packages are out of date: # pkg_version -v -X -s And to check all out of date packages: # pkg_version -vL "="
Well, I need FreebSD 9 source to compile fusefs-kmod, which is required by gvfs, which’s in turn required by xfce. A lot of people recommend to use sysinstall to add the so called userland sources. sysinstall -> Configure -> Distribution -> src However, it didn’t work!! Thanks to wblock@[1] who pointed out that “sysinstall is mostly dead” and suggested a few ways to get the sources to your system. One of them is:...
Install the preferred cursor theme. I personally like dmz-cursor-theme. # pkg_add -r cursor-dmz-theme Then, Applications Menu -> Settings -> Mouse. Click on Theme tab, select the preferred theme and click Close. Log out of the current Xfce session, then log back in.
Recently, while setting up a Kubuntu Linux terminal server using freenx, I’ve got an issue with the font display being too small. A quick check in Font settings (Applications -> Settings -> System Settings -> Fonts) showed that the “Force fonts DPI” was set to Disabled. To correct this per user, it’s as easy as to select the 96 DPI from the drop down menu, logout and log back in. However, if we want to apply this setting to all users, there’s a bit of more work....
