[SOLVED] F15 rc2 kde

FredGSanford · 05-21-2011, 03:32 AM

I've installed F15 LXDE from the livecd version and now would like to install a minimum KDE. When I tried installing it, I kept getting errors.

What are the steps to install a minimum KDE4?

Thnx.

Hello,

What are the errors that you are getting? You can post them and we can see if we can fix them so you can get KDE up and running.
Now as far as just the general installation, you should be able to perform the following, and your KDE desktop will be installed:

Code:

yum groupinstall "KDE Software Compilation"

Cheers,

Josh

Thanks for the reply. Here's the errors. But the way you're suggesting, wouldn't it install the complete KDE version? I would like a minimum version.

Trying other mirror.

Can I ask what way you are trying to install it?
And by the looks of the 404 error, I would do a "yum clean all" and try one more time. If still no go, I would give it some time and try again, as the data just might supposed to be there on the servers, but it is temporarily unavailable. If not, let me know, and we can try to do it manually.

you might want to wait for 3 days
in 3 days is the official fedora 15 release
right now the mirrors are being changed around ( basically it is a bit of a mess )

corp769, I was running it using cli yum command. I will do the yum clean all command next time I'm ready. Also it seems the kde command you offer will install the full version.

John VV, thanks for that advice.

What I want to do is install a minimum KDE and not the full blown version. Isn't there a 'yum install kde-core' or something similar command?

Thnx.

I solved this by installing Kdebase and the other 4 or 5 major modules.

Thnx for the replies.
