My installation started with f32 with Cinnamon desktop. I am now using f34 and have installed the kde desktop to try it out. I'm not using kde and need the space. I have tried sudo dnf remove @kde-desktop-environment and got the following:
Code:
bill@localhost:~$ sudo dnf remove @kde-desktop-environment

No match for group package "khmeros-base-fonts"
No match for group package "paratype-pt-sans-fonts"
Error:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: sudo
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Poking around the internet, I find that this is not an unusual occurrence, but I have not found a definitive solution. One recommendation I found said to try sudo dnf history undo. I'm reluctant to try stuff for fear of breaking something. I don''t think I want to delete "sudo". Your help would be appreciated.
There's often a 'meta package' that addresses that problem. It acts on a set of others (kde-this, kde-that, etc.). How you get the exact name of the 'meta package' which comprises the mosty commonly used set is the problem. Try a web search. The install option would be as good, because you remove/delete the install option.
/Evil grin
Here's a sneaky idea.
Code:
sudo dnf remove/delete/whatever kdelibs
That will undoubtedly fail because everything kde is linked against kdelibs. So your box will protest
Quote:
"You great steaming twit! You can't do that because it will break <long list of kde packages>"
. So remove your long list, and kdelibs after them
I think I did what you suggested and here is what I got:
Code:
bill@localhost:~$ sudo dnf remove kdelibs
[sudo] password for bill:
No match for argument: kdelibs
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
I'm not sure what to do with your "meta package" suggestion. What am I searching for? I have tried many searches using variations on "how to remove fedora desktop". I haven't found anything definitive and I am not up to just trying something and trashing the system.
Thanks for your help

I would remove that group. If it complains then you can exclude a specific package from the removal with `-x sudo` or `--exclude=sudo` as part of the dnf remove command.
You can also tell it to not remove packages installed as dependencies with `--noautoremove` although that may leave you a lot of unneeded leaf packages that you would manually need to remove.
For some reason the requirement for sudo was switched from the default gnome desktop to the kde desktop. It is also possible to switch that requirement for sudo back to gnome before doing the group remove, but I have never done such and have only seen some comments about how to do so on the ask fedora forums. Maybe posting there and referencing this thread about this issue will get you a quick response.

Is this ok [y/N]:
I have not yet selected y or N. Should I go for it? Some of the items near the bottom, like core, administration tools, Printing support, make me feel uneasy about it.
you need to use the correct name "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
Code:
sudo dnf remove "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
Please see msg #7 above and the following:
Code:
bill@localhost:~$ sudo dnf remove "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
[sudo] password for bill:
No match for argument: KDE Plasma Workspaces
No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
I realize that I forgot it in that instance, but again, please refer back to message #7. My last question had to do with the command line that appears to be working. It got down to the point of "Is this OK [y/n]" and I didn't go farther because I feel uncomfortable with what it was going to remove. I'm looking for advice on whether I'm good to answer Y.

Well, if you read it, and it gives you an uneasy feeling, you should probably answer no. That might be a good idea.
Unfortunately dnf isn't too smart. Even using the appropriate group command, it's going to want to take everything out.
If you read what you posted, there is NOTHING from KDE being removed.
businesskid was on the right track, you need to remove one of the base packages. I would go for
OK. Thanks for the advice. I thought this would be more straight forward. I think I am not going do anything for now. I understand that release 36 is coming mid April. I think I will do a clean install then.
Thanks again.
