Let me start out by making clear I *LOATHE* gnome, ok? So I don't want to hear about it. What's happening is this: I did this: yum groupinstall "Development and Creative Workstation" yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" Now, when I go in graphical mode, I try to change to kde on login. Nope - minutes later, I can see a cursor, and a gray screen. Ditto on the

Good morning, I'm try to install KDE on C8. I can see the grouplist for KDE: yum grouplist Last metadata expiration check: 0:06:07 ago on Sat 25 Jan 2020 11:43:01 AM EST.

I installed KDE Plasma Workspaces on centos 7 in virtualbox. ?I didn't find in any settings panel or during login a way to use it. ?I googled to see how to use it, but there are some that say do this but then someone says no do this (editing some files). ?I've used some linux distros that allow you to choose during login which to use. ?Since I don't see it at login after a reboot, is

Hi all, I've several questions about C8. I'm using 8 on my personal NAS and works very well. I'm running several VMs with centos 8 and noticed something: 1) Why corosync, pacemaker and pcs are missing on C8? They are only available on rhel with payments( rhel ha addons)? 2) Why there is only Gnome as available DE? I use centos on my workstation and I'm a kde-plasma user. XFCE

Hi list, I'm running CentOS 8.2 with Plasma from EPEL and I noticed that I have problem using numeric keypad of my keyboard when using plasma application like Konsole, Kcalc, Konqueror and all application of Plasma. Using Firefox, Thunderbird, xterm, Libreoffice all works as expected. So this problem is related to Plasma application. I noticed the same problem on sddm login. I noticed

Goog morning to the list, for all users that are interested about KDE Plasma on Centos 8 you can install KDE from epel. All packages are get from epel-playground and epel-testing and some packages seems need to be build. I run "yum grouplist" and see kde workspace available. I tried to install it, reboot my machine and running startx a KDE plasma session was correctly launched. I

Alright, so I have no issues getting Plasma Pong started...as long as I run it through the command line. ie: Code: wine "C:\Plasma Pong\Plasma Pong.exe"[quote] That example works fine...as long as it's done in a terminal. However, the game seems to not like being ran without a terminal. (I can't just click on the .exe file to run it). I'm wondering if there's a way

Well, I gave up, and reinstalled C7. This time, I realized I needed to make a software choice before the install, and did so. My install, yesterday, was a minimal. Silly me, yesterday, after that, I did a groupinstall of KDE Plasma Workspaces... and it did *NOT* include all the dependencies to run KDE. Having installed a KDE desktop, much is better... with one exception: I can't seem to

Hi Steffan, I run my VMs on c7 using qemu-kvm + libvirt + virt-manager and the same on a slackware 14.2 without any problem. What error/problem do you receive?

Listmates, Woking with compiz 8.2 on kde 4.3 beta 2 on Archlinux, the plasma "kicker" pager widget does not work correctly after compiz 8.2 is started. Before compiz is started you see the 4 small desktop representations stacked 2x2. After you start compiz, the panel only shows a single large pane 'Desktop 1' no matter what desktop you are on. The strange part is that

Hi All, I am switching from Fedora20 to CentOS7 since I now run all my Linux development in a VM and I get a more robust feature set (i.e. shared folders with the host that "just work", etc) The only issue I have thus far is VPN connections. Looking at what's installed on my old Fedora install I suspect I need these packages: kde-plasma-nm-vpnc kde-plasma-nm-openvpn

Hi Compiz developers, as you might know KDE will transition to git somewhen next week. This gives some new possibilities for the Compiz community, too. Let me first describe the current situation and the problems with it: Compiz and KDE releases are out of sync. We are currently more and more integrating features from the desktop shell into the window manager. In difference to other desktop

Hi, My standard Linux desktop is based on a personal blend of CentOS 7 with KDE 4.14 and various add-ons from third-party repositories like EPEL and Nux-Dextop. After a brief stint on OpenSUSE Leap 15.0, this is what I use on my workstation and on my laptop. And this is also what I install on my client's machines, just like I did in our local school's computer room. I'm currently

Hello. I've got a new workstation running Fedora 10 linux and I use the KDE 4.2 desktop which uses some kind of new desktop environment called 'plasma'. If I start up R and generate a plot (for example: hist(rnorm(10000, mean=0, sd=1), breaks=100) ). The plot appears but all text (the x/y axes, title, etc..) is replaced by a square box. No font is rendered at all. Has anyone else
