I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed. How ca...

Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible. I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running: # yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff. Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B, the CD burning software, which I'm led to believe is designed for KDE, but runs in Gnome. I did a YUM install and got the following error: [root at localho...

...example developing websites on a local LAMP stack, using multimedia apps like Audacity to edit some audio tracks for my training courses, etc. When switching from one desktop environment to another for the sake of trying it out, there's always tons of cruft on the system, even after a yum groupremove "Old Desktop Environment". And I don't want to do a fresh reinstallation, because I have all my data and files in place, and this is a RAID 1 installation, so it's not exactly trivial to reinstall and put everything back in place. Anyway, I spent a couple hours experimenting,...

..., but keep X, so that the machine comes up at the text command line. If/when I need a GUI, I'll type "startx", after setting up ~/.xinitrc. So far, I've made one change to yum.conf, by adding remove_leaf_only=1 I think that my next 2 steps should be to execute... init 3 yum groupremove gnome-desktop Then what? "yum search icewm" does not find anything, and I may still have GDM trying to log me in to a non-existant GNOME. What do I do next? By the way, at startup, I notice a message quickly flash by like... "intel_rapl: no valid rapl domains". What'...

1. There are updates to CentOS-4Beta for the i386 and x86_64 arches. The following RPMS have been changed: a. createrepo-0.4.2-1.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream maintainer. b. yum-2.1.13-1.c4.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream maintainer. c. firefox-1.0-6.centos4.3.i386.rpm - The original build did not strip the library files of unnecessary symbols, causing

Hi there, I am currently compiling wine (latest) on centos 5.2. My compiler had error'd out with "X development files not found". Now I had done a yum groupinstall "X Windows System" without any luck. I just don't want to have to install anything on top of what I need to. So what packages compose the "X development files"? d

Hi, I have reinstalled centos 6.2 x86_64 because it seems there is not xfs mod on i386. But i have found an orther problem. After the partitioning there is not any prompt to choice the type of server I want (minimal, web etc) So now I have a desktop installation... I want to remove xorg, gnome etc.. and an other bug.. i am unable to setup Eth interface ... with system-config-network-tui i cant see

...ot startup. I swear that the after doing the "yum groupinstall "X Window system" that packages were downloaded and installed. So I chalked up the X start failure to doing things in the incorrect order. So this morning I thought I would start with a clean slate and did: > yum groupremove "X Window system" "MATE Desktop" > yum groupinstall "X Window system" That is when I received the error message I did in my first post. So just now I went back to another CentoOS 7 system running Mate and re-produced the yum commands. It turns out the history co...

...lackware, the bone-headed package manager slackpkg has a few nice options, among which 'slackpkg clean-system', which removes all third-party packages in one single operation, or 'slackpkg remove <package_group>', which does exactly that. I know CentOS has yum groupinstall/groupremove etc. but as far as I can tell, if I only have a handful of packages from a package group installed, yum grouplist lists the group as not installed, so there's not an easy way to tell. You may wonder why I want to do this. I have CentOS installed on some sandbox machines here, and I like to...

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in

I just did a fresh minimal install of centos 7 on new hardware. While playing around with window systems I removed X windows like so: >yum remove "X Window system" and then tried to re install >yum group install "X Window system" which gives this error: Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum) No packages in any requested group available to install or
