From the Gnome start menu, have you tried Settings|Menu Editor?

RedHat 6.2 and X 'start' menu programs

Post by Chri » Wed, 24 May 2000 04:00:00


I have recently installed Red Hat 6.2 and the Gnome desktop on a
computer.  I was wondering how to not allow new users to use certain apps
that are available.  Specifically, I want to not allow the use of games to
certain users.  I could track them down and change permissions, but I
don't even want them to see the game are there.  Is there a way to change
the 'start' mene programs?
Thanks
Chris

You could hide the menus from users by taking them all off, then just putting the
certain apps into the "Personal Menu" of certain users.  This would let them only see
the apps you want to.

To prevent them from being run would be done by setting permissions and groups.
i.e.  To allow only certain users to run games just make all the games part of
the group "Games".  Then make the user part of the supplemental group "Games".
The user editor in Linuxconf is easiest to use to do this.

1. X server won't start up(Redhat 6.2)

        I am aware of Redhat's reputation for shipping unstable software
packages. I hope that I don't have to upgrade X.....

I am running Redhat 6.2 ( with the default version of X) on an X86
computer. X was working fine until I ran
'shutdown -r' from X. Then everything went haywire. X wouldn't start up on
reboot:
mach64programxlkmach64ct: warning: Q<10.6667
x connection to 0:0 broken (explicit kill)

I am running the Mach 64 server with an Ati 3d rage pro card.
Please what does this mean and what can I do to recitfy the problem. I
would really appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
