Need to load KDE rpm - RHEL 5
Hi all -
I have a basic question - please excuse my ignorance here…
A user needs the KDE desktop and it is not an option selection at the "login screen"…
I did an: rpm -qa | grep -I kde and got only a few "lockdev" hits, so I assumed kde is not loaded...
I did a yum list | grep kde and noticed the following:
kdeaccessibility.x86_64 1:3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdeaddons.x86_64 3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner.x86_64 3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdeadmin.x86_64 7:3.5.4-3.el5 rhelupdates
kdeartwork.x86_64 3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdeartwork-icons.x86_64 3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdebase.i386 6:3.5.4-20.el5 rhelupdates
kdebase.x86_64 6:3.5.4-20.el5 rhelupdates
kdebindings.x86_64 3.5.4-6.el5 rhelupdates
kdegames.x86_64 6:3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdegames.i386 6:3.5.4-1.fc6 rhelupdates
kdegraphics.x86_64 7:3.5.4-15.el5_4.2 rhelupdates
kdelibs.i386 6:3.5.4-25.el5_4.1 rhelupdates
kdelibs.x86_64 6:3.5.4-25.el5_4.1 rhelupdates
kdelibs-apidocs.x86_64 6:3.5.4-25.el5_4.1 rhelupdates
kdemultimedia.x86_64 6:3.5.4-2.fc6 rhelupdates
kdemultimedia.i386 6:3.5.4-2.fc6 rhelupdates
kdenetwork.x86_64 7:3.5.4-9.el5 rhelupdates
kdenetwork.i386 7:3.5.4-9.el5 rhelupdates
kdepim.x86_64 6:3.5.4-6.el5 rhelupdates
kdeutils.x86_64 6:3.5.4-5.fc6 rhelupdates
unixODBC-kde.i386 2.2.11-7.1 rhelupdates
unixODBC-kde.x86_64 2.2.11-7.1 rhelupdates
If I want kde capability, do I have to singly do a yum install on each of the above? Is there "one" rpm I can install to get ALLLL of KDE???

the whole point of yum is that is handles all the dependencies automatically. Just run "yum install @kde-desktop"
And just because a package contains the letters k, d and e, doesn't mean you need it, and doesn't mean that's all you need. there are many many packages not listed there, e.g. qt.

Hi acid_kewpie -
Thanks for the response... I get this:
[root@larry /]# yum install @kde-desktop
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
Repository 'extras' is missing name in configuration, using id
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package @kde-desktop available.
Nothing to do
[root@larry /]#

Well you haven't registered with RHN, so are you expecting to get these updates from local media? if you do have local media, you cna try an alternative format - yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". If you don't want to / can't update this via yum, use system-configure-packages to add it in there, and it should ask for installation media to be inserted on demand.

sadly rhel5 does contain a LOT of fedora RPM's... very odd, you'd have thought they would at least rename them...
