Your first post described the steps to bout into a specific runlevel as a one time thing with one error I corrected. I suggest you rewind a moment and state clearly what your requirements are - what are you trying to achieve? If it is to change the default runlevel then amend /etc/inittab If you want the removal of rhgb and quiet from the kernel arguments to persist then amend the grub configuration in the system. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Unable to change runlevel at boot time
Hello All. I have done changes as per James sir instructions but changes are not saving permanently. They are disappeared after few seconds. So I think I should try DVD for rescue. Should this problem get fixed with CentOS 6.2 DVD as my current installed version is 6.4 ?? Does it have any reverse effect?? Seeking for guidance, Thanks !! *-- Cheers.

[CentOS] [centos-6.3-desktop] Unable to login
Hello, I have trapped in weird problem. My Setup is CentOS 6.3 Desktop edition x86_64 arch. My login screen is blinking so frequently that I am unable to see and login into it. And also I am unable to reinstall the OS because it will take very long time re-setup everything as per my configuration as well as Data. The problem is as follows: I have several months ago libgcc-4.4.6.i686. Today for installing rsyslog, I updated the package libgcc-4.4.7.i686 and libgcc-4.4.7.x86_64. Then thinking about chances of conflict, I removed libgcc-4.4.7.i686 it has also removed the cups-libs gmp gnutils gtk2 libstdc++ libtiff peazip all are i686 type. Then I installed same packages for 64 bit through yum install above packages Message also said successfully installed. Then I try to open another terminal window but it was suddenly closing so I thought restart might solve this problem; so I restart the computer. I am getting normal CentOS login backgroud but getting faster blinking screen. How should I solve this problem (except formatting the CentOS) as CentOS is the only OS on that machine. 1. How to login into CentOS now?? 2. Which package should I need to install and how ?? Kindly do the needful, Thank you !! *-- Cheers, Mayur. * ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hello Sir, One more thing as per I think I have lost only file which responsible for GUI of the centos. If anyone has Idea which files I need to get Login and other explorer screen back in action There is no explorer - that's a Windows thing. You should have command line login using ctrlaltf2 Problem is Appearance of login window. System boots normally; now I will try out your said command. I skimmed your other email - a) did you install for 64 bit? Yes. b) did I see that you tried picking and choosing from what release? Release 6.3 In any case, you need to do yum -y update and update your whole system to current. Problem is I have installed Eucalyptus cloud,Snort IDS and now rSyslog ; so I am in fear that update should not break anything wrt this components so that weird things I will face in future. BTW, system is working fine before this incident. If you're still having gui problems, you *might* have a driver issue. What video do you have? nsip I have not installed any video drivers before this. I tried to install one but it does not work. So I leave it as everything was working fine before breakage of libgcc.686 package dependencies (as I remember) And I also want to ask that is it possible to install that files from Putty; I have windows on other PC There are no putty files to install on Linux. Putty will bring you in as though you had ssh'd from another *Nix machine. snip I am in SSH with this machine from long time. I am asking if I am unable to get GUI then I should try to install files from PUTTY terminal or browse files with WinSCP. What is your opinion sir??

And why did you install rsyslog? That's the default system log package in 6.x. I think sir you are talking abt CentOS 6.4 becoz in centos 6.3 there is upto 5.8.10. Did you install that from something else? I am installing from source version 7.2.6 because of which this all mess. You'll probably have to run whatever snort command once you do a yum update, or I expect you'll get a lot of false warnings. nsip I will try for it. If you're still having gui problems, you *might* have a driver issue. What video do you have? nsip I have not installed any video drivers before this. I tried to install one but it does not work. So I leave it as You really, REALLY need to do some reading about *Nix systems. The base install installs video drivers; if you add a desktop install, it will install its best guess at drivers - they're already there.
