Re: How to install XFCE on CentOS 8?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



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! :-(

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,

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

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"
No match for group package "thunar-archive-plugin"

I'm unable to find packages for NetworkManager-gnome or
thunar-archive-plugin anywhere in CentOS 8 or EPEL 8.

Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Simon
