[CentOS] How to install XFCE on CentOS 8?

2021-02-11 Thread Simon Matter
Hi, Is anyone here running XFCE desktop on CentOS 8? If so, how did you install it? I just tried to install it from EPEL and this is what I got: # dnf group install Xfce Last metadata expiration check: 0:14:01 ago on Thu 11 Feb 2021 10:05:47 CET. No match for group package "NetworkManager-gnome"

Hi Simon, I'm running XFCE under CentOS 8 as a VM under CentOS 7. I've just had a quick look and this is what I see (see attachment). You'll need to view it in a wide terminal. HTH, Martin On 11/02/2021 09:24, Simon Matter wrote: Hi, Is anyone here running XFCE desktop on CentOS 8? If so

Thanks Martin, so the "Xfce" group definition in EPEL is obviously broken. Looks like XFCE doesn't get much love in EL8. Do you or anyone else have suggestions for a lightweight desktop environment to use on EL8 apart from XFCE? One which is supported well by EPEL? Thanks, Simon > Hi Simon, > >

Sorry, I run gdm on Springdale 8 and Alma 8. I'm not doing much work on any RHEL 8 clone ATM, I prefer the longer support of C7! :-( Martin On 11/02/2021 10:26, Simon Matter wrote: Thanks Martin, so the "Xfce" group definition in EPEL is obviously broken. Looks like XFCE doesn't get much love

I'm also on C7 for the same reason but wanted to see how XFCE is supported on any EL8 clone for the future. In the past I've even produced updated XFCE packages but I don't want to do this in future. Too many other things to do. Simon > Sorry, I run gdm on Springdale 8 and Alma 8. I'm not doing
