I've got some Dell M630 blades (m1000e chassis) that have a 10G chassis switch and they use the ixgbe module. Having a small glitch that I've haven't been able to resolve. When the system boots up the first port is assigned eth0 by SL7.2, second port gets eth1. At this point eth1 is the

GDM a slightly different Banner Message display issue

2015-10-15 Thread Stephen Berg (Contractor)
I've tried to set this up a couple times and somehow I get no banner display at all. On an idle desktop I set the following by running dconf-editor as root, made sure the system was up to date (SL7.1) and rebooted it. When the login screen came up all I get is the two most recent users

SL7 fvwm

I have a user that would like to have an fvwm environment. He doesn't want gnome/kde/xfce/etc etc. Just a simple fvwm login. If I can find a way to have GDM launch his fvwm environment it would be great. I grabbed the latest source and got it compiled but I can't find a way to make that
