xfce4 would not start
xfce4 would not start
I have installed xfce4 using the command
[quote]yum groupinstall XFCE-4.2 [/quote]
as describe by Sir foxb. The problem now is that I am encountering this following message
[quote]/usr/bin/startxfce4: line 45: exec: xinit: not found[/quote]
but it is there examining line 45 of /usr/bin/startxfce4 there is a line with the following:
[quote]exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $*[/quote]
May I ask what could be the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

Re: xfce4 would not start
Sir,
It came again back to cannot find valid repositories again.. like the one I have posted about the other time.. Tried also this one:
[url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3456&forum=27&post_id=9752#forumpost9752]post about centos-base-repo problem[/url]
but got the problem on the attached picture.
The last time I have check my CentOS-Base.repo file I have cross-checked it with you and its the same.. and I have updated it following the steps in howtoforge.com.. the perfect setup for server article.
What could be wrong with this Sir?

What is your network layout?
Re: xfce4 would not start
Accessing the net through a gateway but that is not a proxy server.. No authentication required.. I will use your command first and post the results here..

Which one?
Usually no, but consult your VM documentation.

Re: xfce4 would not start
As I was about to post this...
[quote]Actually the first time I have encountered this is I have installed it and dual-booted it with an xp machine.. That was my [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4796&forum=32&post_id=14054]first post[/url].. This time I have installed it using a virtual machine.. Created a hard disk image using qemu and installed it there using the iso I have downloaded.. This time I have trouble updating.. I am using vmware player...[/quote]
I am updating my centos installation.. Apparently the problem in the update is my own network.. A lot of youtube and bandwidth eater users.. I then updated it early in the morning and voila.. It came on easy.. Thanks Sir foxb.
