How to install KDE and Gnome

Normally I'm a big KDE user, but there are some things in GNOME I want to try out to see if I might make the switch. I already have KDE installed, if I wanted the option to run KDE or GNOME can I just 'sudo pacman -S gnome gnome-extras' and it'll show up in the session type for kdm?

i run gnome BUT like a bunch of kde programs
so both are installed
kde dose have a tendency to reset the "open with" defaults 
then there is an option in kdm to run gnome,kde, or other
so it is not a problem at all , you might need to re set the "open with" defaults but that is about it.

  • How to install kde/gnome desktop in arch linux?

    I tried with installing pacman -S xorg-server and xorg-apps then
    i have given installation for kde and gnome using  pacman -Sy kde kdm xorg-xinit dbus gnome gnome-extra.
    But it is asking me to replace some softwares..
    At the end after downloading
    while commit transaction it's showing some errors like
    /lib exists in filesystem
    /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
    /bin/kill
    /etc/pam.d/chfn exist in filesystem
    /usr/share/man/man1/...
    So i tried with Syuf still getting error.
    From wiki i have seen installing glibc
    using pacman -U http://pkgbuild.com/~allan/glibc-2.16.0 … pkg.tar.xz
    pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
    pacman -Su
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    pacman -Sd gcc gcc-libs
    After some sort of commands i lost my script commands like poweroff, reboot....it's showing /sbin/init not exist...
    Then when my computer starts it is not booting...
    What all i want to do is getting an UI with dbus and xorg..
    Today i have started archlinux...
    Please help

    Is it a stable one?..
    We are planning to switch everything from Ubuntu to ArchlInux
    One more question..Is it mandatory to install xorg and dbus before installing any kde or gnome UI?
    I have this doubt because when i install xorg-server and xorg-apps.(first pacman installation)..it's showing for pacman update i gave no..then it is saying like replacing some of the packages with another one?
    This is a problem with my installation..or will it be fixed if i moved to latest one?
    Thanks in Advance

  • Can't install KDE or GNOME from pacman

    When I try to install KDE or GNOME from pacman, the system downloads most or all of the files, from what I can see, and then returns a bunch of errors of the form "gcc-libs: /usr/lib/libssp.so exists in filesystem". I'd post the entirety of the messages, but I can't figure out how to pipe output from pacman without making it impossible to enter "yes" at the install prompt. This problem occurs with both kde and gnome, and from what I can tell it looks like basically the same set of errors with either one.

    What does "pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libssp.so" say?  It should say gcc-libs and not gcc.  I'm guessing you have just installed.  Have you done a "pacman -Syu"?  The gcc package was split into gcc and gcc-libs.
    In fact it looks remarkably similar to this" http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37690   

  • KDE and GNOME?

    Hi everyone
    Because KDE can be quite moany, is there a way to install both KDE and GNOME, but keep them kinda isolated from each other?
    If that makes no sense (doesn't to me), I mean, like install both, but keep each other's apps and applets out of the way (like, no gnome network applet in KDE, and AWN in gnome but not KDE)
    Thanks in advance

    You could setup a dual-boot system, one Arch install with Gnome, and one with KDE.  That should keep them pretty well separated if they aren't allowed to share anything but SWAP and your GRUB configuration file.

    Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:

    If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

  • How to Install XI and EP on Single server

    Hi,
    How to install XI and EP on same server. I tried to install XI then EP . After EP installed then iam not able to access XI j2ee engine . I think some where port conflicts . I gave system number for XI : 00 and EP : 02
    Can any one help for this. Where did i made mistake.
    Thanks
    Kristene

    Hi Kristene,
    I have installed XI and EP on the same server (for test purposes) without any problems, so it should be possible. I installed them in a different order (first EP then XI), but I don't think that matters much.
    The only real difference is that I kept the system number the same.
    What do you mean exactly with not being able to access the XI j2ee engine? How did you try to access it?
    Regards,
    Martin

  • How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?

    how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
    kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filters

    A Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install.  It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install.  In that case you don't need to install any.  At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it.  Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default.  There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
    Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop  and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
    You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop.
