 |
|
I'm clearly late to the party, but I've finally installed BLAG 140K and I really like the look and feel of it - the Samurai splash screen, the surreal urban landscape wallpaper, etc. I've grown accustomed to using XFCE on Debian, and thought it would be supported on BLAG, but when I attempt to install I see the following:
| Code: | [root@brixton][~]# yum groupinstall xfce4
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Setting up Group Process
blag140k-fedora/group_gz | 37 kB 00:00
Warning: Group xfce4 does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update
|
Am I not using the correct syntax? Or do I, perhaps, need another repo?

try:
| Code: | | #yum groupinstall xfce |
should work!
Next blag release should be xfce by default.

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, no joy...
| Code: | [root@brixton][/export]# yum groupinstall xfce
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Setting up Group Process
Warning: Group xfce does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update
|
As a matter of a fact, "yum grouplist" returns no groups.

it works for me! Maybe blag.fsf server problem, one more time.
Try to use fedora repo:
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
| Code: | [fedora]
name=FEDORA
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0 |
and
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
| Code: | [fedora-updates]
name=FEDORA-UPDATES
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/14/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0 |
Of course, replace x86_64 by i386 if you don't use 64bits.

But blag.fsf server seems to work and xfce packages are on it. x86_64 and i386.
Edit: you're right! it doesn't work with blag.fsf repo. Just tried it on blag 140k x86_64
PS: wrote to the mailing-list to signal that.

That did the trick! I only had the blag.repo enabled. Once I configured the fedora and fedora-updates repo, I was able to install XFCE. Thanks!

really? sounds great to me since I think the usability/configuration of xfce is already one of the best... and also considering that no all the people need (i don't) fancy windows managers to everyday tasks
