config
Submitted by trixboxing on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 8:00pm.
Hello,
I am a relatively new Trixbox user.
I just installed 2.6.0.7 on a new box.
I typed help-trixbox as instructed and, since I previously had some time related issues, thought I'd try the "config" command. I thought perhaps it was the "Trixbox preferred" way to check the timezone as opposed to "setup"
I was amazed at what happened next.
It proceeded to download a ton of stuff over the next hour. An amazing 70-80 packages. All the while I'm thinking "what have I done" and bracing myself for some massive application only to be presented in the end with a few lines of text asking me to set the timezone. I could have done that with the setup command in 1 second. I can't find any documentation on this Trixbox command. And any search for "config" in google or Trixbox forums brings back every mention of the word in every context (too much information).
Now, when I run setup, I see "X Configuration" at the bottom. That makes me think "config" tried to load a timezone/keyboard program designed for the GUI version of CentOS. When it didn't see a GUI, it tried to build one. Is this command a throwback from ages past that is no longer needed? If all it truly does is set the timezone and keyboard, we can just type "setup."
Thanks,
Cliff

Wow running the xserver is going to not a great idea for a phone system.
Someone else may have a better idea, however I would suggest you do a 'yum list installed x*.*' and post the results here (with the code tag please).
Please also do a 'ps -x|grep x' and post that also.

I suggest config be removed from the help-trixbox script if it's doing what I think it's doing.

Do not remove xinetd it is probably used to manage network services.
You can do the delta between and do a yum remove
No guarantees, however this make sense.
If it starts in x mode it probably will not have a manager installed so it may be confusing.
I also don't see xdmcp the login manager. You got me interested so I looked fvwm is not in the repository KDE is (two different desktop managers).
Just ignore my ramblings in the last two paragraphs. The bottom line is I don't know how complete the install is.
