Without wanting to sound too pushy, I'm wondering if there is any update on the status of Mate now that Centos 8 has been released?

I finally have got around to installing centos 7 and usually do a pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears to be a bug in the xfce package: Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic

Hello, I am working on a kickstart automated Centos 7 GUI vm deployment. Defining gnome desktop in kickstart works. @gnome-desktop - A GNOME desktop However Centos and anything from the epel-release such as xrdp does not work. I have tried it on different ways. repo --name=epel-release %packages #epel-release # DOES NOT WORK @ Core #@core @ Base

Now that the basic server is up and running.? With Gnome via VNC (yuck), it is time to go back and figure out howto install Xfce without an Xfce group script.? So I am asking those with X64 Centos for some pointers.? Like where are the group scripts so maybe I can modify them for armhfp. I was reading: https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-install-xfce-gui-in-centos-7-linux/ Where the author

Nicolas, Thank you!? But I am Dyslexic and very mono-linguistic; at least I could read the actual commands, if not all the wonderful comments...

I would like to install xfce from the "extras" repo - but when I run: yum groupinstall XFCE-4.4 I get: Warning: Group XFCE-4.4 does not exist. Also 'yum grouplist' appears to only show the base groups ... Is there anything else I have to do to install xfce? Thanks James Pearson

Mate is not in the repos. mate-desktop.org has no packages for rhel or centos. How can I install it.

Hello All, I have this problem starting Centos7.3 - the official name escapes me at the moment. I often install Centos7 Minimal, then X Window System, then Mate desktop. This last step gives me trouble, and I have to run # yum groupinstall mate --skip-broken output: skipped packages: NetworkManager-I2tp ldns libreswan unbound-libs xl2tpd I realise this is probably an issue for EPEL

Install Mate on Centos 7 and you never have to touch Gnome 3. I did, and my desktops don't look or work any different today than they did under Centos 6. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~
