Subject: [cAos] Installing: system roles problem
Message-ID: <fd24aeda0704140537xa1070aesadfef561bb44f003@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, i'm installing caos 2 on an old Penitum machine, to run a FTP server.
But when i choose to configure the system roles in the sidekick menu, i get
an error that says the metadata file doesn't match the md5 sum (or something
like that) followed by [Errno -1]. What is this? Is it a problem with my
machine, or on the mirror server? I'm sure my internet connection works, i
installed some packages with yum manually. What to do with this? Please
help, i have some linux experience (debian, xubuntu, xfce) but i am new to
caos.

Hi Dani?l,

  There's so many things that could be a problem here, but I'm gonna 
take a stab at one of these two :

   1. You're running sidekick as a user rather than root.
   2. You're using a (possibly transparent) web proxy and/or content
      filter such as squid/dansguardian and it's getting in the way

If neither of those apply, let's continue to debug, and it's probable 
that someone other than me will be able to answer better than me.

Mirror problem.  Try now; should be fixed.  If not, which repo
(current/stable/testing) are you using, and on which architecture?

Thank you all, it works fine. I'm installing my desktop now.

Subject: [cAos] GDM and openbox
Message-ID: <fd24aeda0704160720x248b505bo68f25a78b973fac7@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, when i installed caos 2 i wanted to try the Enlightenment desktop and
installed it with 'yum groupinstall enlightenment'. But i didn't much like
it and i removed it: 'yum groupremove enlightenment'. Now i installed gdm,
and the window manager openbox: 'yum install gdm openbox'. I've found out
how to configure GDM to start Opebox as a session, and it works fine when i
start it by hand with 'gdm'. But now: how do i configure the X server to run
GDM as the default display manager at boot?

Another question: how do i install .tar.gz packages? (need to install
Obconf, it's not in the caos repository)

To get your system to boot by default into graphical mode, edit /etc/ 
inittab and change the line:

    id:3:initdefault:

to:

    id:5:initdefault:

What you say, install tar.gz packages, are you referring to source  
tarballs, or binary slackware type packages?

Thanks and good luck,
Greg
