I 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 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?
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
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 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?
Is 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?

I have some issues while installing wireshark-gnome. see the below logs. I am using Fedora 13. I am seeing some transaction error when I issue "yum install wireshark-gnome".

i mean, using Fedora 14. i had windows 7 so i decided to move on!! LOL, i have Fedora 14 Gnome, and i want to install Kepete Messenger but it does not appear in Add/Remove Software in Fedora, and i cant find it in internet.
Just installed fc13 and wasn't given the option for kde.... I like the desktop effect and Widgets.... is there a way to do the same with gnome???? If not what packages do I. Install from the apps list?
I'm using Fedora 14 GNOME. At least until tomorrow when 15 beta comes out Anyway, I'm trying to install drivers for my wireless card. It's a Realtek Semiconductor, RTL8191SEvB. I'm using RTL8192 drivers, which work just fine when I can get them to install. I have all of the necessary files to install it, and they've worked before on a previous Fedora 14 (KDE) install. I cd into the drive and run "sudo make" which gives me the following:
I have two desktop environments installed on my Fedora pc. Here it is
[Code]...
Is it still possible to install other desktop environments despite already having installed KDE and GNOME? If I happen to install other desktop environments such as XFCE, LXDE, CDE, EDE, UDE, will I be able to use one particular environment by disabling the rest whenever needed
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?
When I try to install the wireshark-gnome interface I get a notice about needing two dependencies. One is portaudio and the other is the jack-audio-connection-kit. Seems like kind of odd dependencies for wireshark. Do wireshark really need them? VoIP related maybe?
I 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.
Here is some info:
[root@hrdevdba1 etc]# cat resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager domain hayshps.com search hayshps.com nameserver 10.190.27.14 nameserver 10.190.13.1 nameserver 10.190.13.13 # NOTE: the libc resolver may not support more than 3 nameservers. # The nameservers listed below may not be recognized. nameserver 10.171.90.215 nameserver 10.175.151.236 [root@hrdevdba1 etc]# ifconfig .....
I should add that I have also attempted to disable IPv6.
I successfully installed fedora live CD KDE version on virtual PC. but I can't install the live CD Gnome desktop version. details: I just add vga=0x32D on boot, no problem booting after that. I am now log-in as live user, but I can't find the shotcut for installation on desktop "install to hard drive" but using the terminal, there's a file under Desktop, 'liveinst.desktop" I tried running it, graphical installation will appear, but during copying to hard disk, it says bad media.

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.
