Re:Running Gnome on a ClearOS system 1 Year, 8 Months ago
Jose, I'm assuming your statement "The link is not OK" is due to the fact that my site uses a self-signed cert? If this is the case, I'd question why you log into _your_ ClearOS box either, since the webconfig interface also uses a self-signed cert. Tony, Thanks for checking the link. Bob

Hi Bob, Your site seems to keep going down. Is it possible to post the scripts and repo file here? Every time I go to whataboutbob it displays "This webpage is not available" Thanks

Hi James - strange as I just went back and browsed around the site for over 10 minutes without a hitch...
If it is Bob's site maybe it thinks you are an intruder

For the next approx 36 hours only you can get the copies I downloaded from Bob's site from:-

Code:



wget http://danda.poweredbyclear.com:/ClearOS-CentOS-Base.5.7.repo

wget http://danda.poweredbyclear.com:/ClearOS_to_CentOS_v0.3.sh

Bob - hope you are OK with this...

Re:Running Gnome on a ClearOS system 1 Year, 8 Months ago

No problem Tony. I've been having my server crash lately, and I'm not sure why at this point....

Here's the script and repo file contents for reference:

Script:

Code:



#!/bin/sh



# This script was written to work on a FRESH install of ClearOS 5.2 Enterprise,

# with all available packages selected during the install process.



# Things to do on your system BEFORE you run this script:

#

#	1) Disable any additional repos you may have enabled,

#	on a fresh ClearOS install you should have only the 

#	following in your /etc/yum.repos.d/:

#

#	base.repo

#

#	2) Update your system against this repo:

#

#	yum -y update

#

#	3) Reboot if needed



#	ToDo:

#

#	1) Figure out why when you startx you get a dialog box that states:

#	"The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources.  It cannot continue."

#

#	2) Clean this script up. There's very little optimization and error checking.



# Make sure you are root when you run our script

if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then

   echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2

   exit 1

fi

yaye

Re:Running Gnome on a ClearOS system 1 Year, 8 Months ago
Thanks Bob and Tony. I hopefully will get a chance to to access this in the next few hours as I have decided to give XenServer a go (what a headache)
