I currently have F11 with gnome and am interested in trying out kde. I have a few questions:
1) How do I install kde so that when I log in I'll be able to choose between gnome and kde?
2) How big (disk space) is the installation?
3) Will the programs that I already have installed in gnome work with kde or will I need separate kde versions?
I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?
Things were running fine until GNOME misbehaved;
GNOME failed to load telling me:
Install error, Configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly.
So I
Code:
To the shell and check the logs in gdm and find this:
Could not ask power manager if user can suspend, launch helper exited with unknown return code 0.
So I try
Code:
To see if another user will get the desktop; I get the error
Cant create etc/passwd no space left on device.
So I
Code:
And get the following
I insert a usb drive to prepare for back up; Run
Code:
On the shell to get the usb device name; Then run
Code:
To mount the device.
I end up with:
Cant create lock file /etc/mtab~ 4610 No space left on device(use -n flag to override)
So, I
Code:
And see 9 partitionitions
Code:
Again to check which ones are loaded at boot up time and get
plus some other file systems mounted at boot up, but not mapping to any physical partitionition.
I try
Code:
On partition9 and get warnings because its mounted, so I chicken out and try
Code:
And run into the error:
cant create lock file /etc/mtab~4832 no space left on device (use -n flag to override)
Good thing is there is a

Since space is a problem, I

i am justin i'm 17 years old and new with linux, i use ubuntu and linux mint 7 and a friends of my has a dedicated fedora server. he asked me to intall a desktop manager ( or something that is the same, dont know how to call it ) so he could use remote desktop to acces his server
i have connected the server trought ssh and i am in the terminal. Now i want to install kde or gnome so i and my friend could use the server as a mail en WWW bla bla bla server. and my question is how i need to do that i tryd : yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" and yum groupinstall "X Window System" but none works i have seen those commands on this forum so i tryd it.
Recently installed F12 through the text based install and have got to GNOME gui but when i got to system/administration i only get two options and those are for display changes. Is there some way to install the features i missed out on? namely Add/remove programs which i can't seem to find anywhere
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 13 from a cd that installed just one desktop, Gnome. I wish I had used the other installation, guess its the dvd, which installs both GNOME and KDE. Nothing I've read explains how to install KDE from Gnome. I went out on my own and installed kde-desktop and all its dependencies using Gnome's Add/Remove Programs. This worked in that it gave me the GNOME / KDE option under the Sessions menu of my login screen. What I didn't expect was to see all those KDE programs under Gnome's menus.
Is there a way to install KDE that does not place all those KDE programs under Gnome's menus or is it up to me to remove any KDE program I don't whant in a Gnome menu from the list that constitutes that menu?
I have what seems to be far to many KDE programs running on my Gnome desktop is this normal?
I thought there would be gnome equivalents.
I'll list them:
Is this normal for a Gnome Desktop Fedora installation and if so which are completely arbitrary and can be removed safely?
Also is xorg supposed to use 8-20% of the CPU when all that is running is the system monitor? The system monitor application also uses 20-70% of the CPU when it is running by itself also. (Intel Pentium 4, 3.2ghz)
I didn't choose any KDE desktop Applications Intentionally
I tried to install F12 DVD (Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso). The installation process showed it installed 200 packages and finished correctly. After reboot, it only gives me a command prompt. How do I install gnome or kde from the command prompt?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to install just XFCE? and not Gnome or KDE? I don't mind Gnome, but I definitely don't like KDE. I have tried installing the XFCE spin to my hard drive, but when I use yum to update packages later, using the default repository, yum wants to install Gnome for some strange reason, and a bunch of other stuff I don't need. Is there a way to prevent this? because really you'd think the XFCE spin would setup yum so Gnome wouldn't be installed, wouldn't you think? I don't really mind Gnome being installed, its just that I never use it, I always use XFCE, so it seems like a waste of disk space to even install it.
well I guess the graphical boot loader uses Gnome, I don't know, but I do know yum installs a bunch of other stuff I don't use after the XFCE spin is installed to the hard drive. How do I prevent that from happening is what I'm asking?

Ive tested this on 2 different machines each running Fedora 15. If I try to install gnome-schedule the system reports nothing to do or that the software is already installed. If I try to remove it the system reports that gnome-schedule is available but not installed. Anyone know how to approach this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux but not UNIX, I have been an HPUX SA in a previous life and now Oracle DBA. So I installed F15 (Gnome) onto an intel machine using LIVE USB from website. Install has gone fine but I have no external network access. I have tried for a couple of days to get this working but no luck. I can ping internally on our LAN but no external connections. I cannot ping external web sites from my PC either so guess work have locked it down in the firewall but I can browse from my PC so was hoping to be able to use Firefox and YUm etc from my F15 install. Which sort of leads onto my second issue which is setting up a remote X client session, I was trying to install VNC with YUm when I found this issue.

What can I do?
installed fedora with the minimum option on the dvd. After that i logged it and im tring to install gnome, heres the catch though i only have 950MB worth of space. I noticed if i use the groupinstall "X Window System" it fails because of the space. Also it installs alot of things that I am not interested. what are the command lines to install gnome but with the minimal, no FF, no evolution, you get my point.
