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

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

have you tried using open motif 2.1.30?
the open motif version that comes with the redhat 7.3 is 2.2 and is not compatible with 6i. Once I used open motif 2.1.30 it worked fine. The environment variable setting is very similar to any other unix version. Ensure that you are also intalling the latest patch (10) for 6i (fixed lots of problems).

[SOLVED]How to build debian package source in Arch Linux?

I'm porting openssl for sh4 arch.
If I use Arch Linux PKGBUILD, it built failed. (I guess that's caused by there is no asm code for sh4 cpu).
So, I decide use debian's source.
But, is there any one know how to porting debian's package into Arch Linux?
I can apt-get source openssl from other machine. But I don't know what's the correct step to build it into Arch Linux' structure.
Solution: refer brebs's PKGBUILD hint.

The source is not hard to find. Look on Debian packages - each package has 2 files, the ".orig", and Debian's diff (which is sometimes not a diff, these days, thankfully because just having a simple "debian/patches" subdirectory available is a little bit easier for us).
Edit: Here ya go, convenient links:

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.

Also check if uve got ur locales set, take a look here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_locales It's just uncommenting and running locale-gen
Scim i dont myself what this is exactly, never needed myself but heres a wiki entry anyway that might come in handy imo http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sma … d_platform

[SOLVED] Cant figure out how to install kde 4.3rc from official "testi

Well, I'm very new to this and I have lots of questions about Arch and I've been reading lots of forum posts and wiki articles.
Now,I've installed everything in the beginners guide with exception of a DE. And that's because I want to install kde 4.3rc even if the development id not complete yet. I want to install it from official repositories and not from kdemod.
I see there is a kde-unstable repo that I have to enable. But I kind of read that to use it I have to enable testing also and "know how to use it" And well, thats the problem about being new to Arch isn't it? I don't know how to use it nor there is some wiki article called testing.
So I have 2 questions:
How can I "use" testing repo? Are there guidelines to use it or maybe recommendations? I'm thinking about enabling that repo only for kde 4.3 and not for other packages, so, How do I do that?
And also, If I install kde 4.3rc now, whene it is moved to extra in a couple of days/weeks, how should I disable kde testing repo and enable extra again to keep my kde up to date? Will I need to reinstall everything when this happens?
Lol... Those where like 10 questions instead of 2... But maybe the answer is very small. I hope someone can give me some advice.
Thanks

Hi, I can't answer all your questions but can help you get started.
The file you want is at /etc/pacman.conf so use your editor of choice and open that file. So say I use the vi editor it would be >>>
vi /etc/pacman.conf
If the package you want is in testing uncomment testing repo.
If its at a custom repo put in the custom package repository info at bottom of that file.
Then use pacman -S "package-name" to install what you want.
EDIT
Heres some links maybe some help to you, I don't use kde so don't know anything about it.

[Solved] How to install KDE unstable

I've been meaning to try KDE4.5 to see if it is any more to my liking then the previous versions of KDE 4.
So how would I go about installing KDE 4.5 on my arch install?

Okay thanks that worked. I wasn't aware that the order in pacman.conf actually matter.
It does because the name of the app is the same (kde) it will pick it up from the first available repo that has the app/group named kde.
also, since your question has been answered, please mark the thread as [SOLVED]

How to install the Remote Desktop Services role on a Windows 2012 R2 Server

Hello,
I am a bit confused on how to install the RDP role on a 2012 R2 server. I have a two server domain and would like to make the second member server an RDP server to host applications (Word, Excel, a medical software, etc.) where users from their windows
7 desktop will use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, create a session and do their work. When installing the role, I am prompted with two options:
1- Role-based or feature based installation
2- Remote Desktop services installation
I see the RDP install option in both cases.
1- Which one do I use?
2- What role services do I install? (Connection broker, Gateway, Licensing, Session Host, Virtualization host and Web access). I think I need the first four only.
3- When installing software after RDP, I use the Change user /install and Change user /execute commands. What happens to the software that is already installed? Can remote
users use those?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Victor.

TP,
Thank you for your response. I added the RD Licensing thru the Role-based option.
Also opened the local group policy thru gpedit.msc and added the server name and the licensing mode type to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session
Host -> Licensing
Use the specified RD license servers = NameOfMyServer
Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode = TypeOfMyLicense (Per User in my case)
Thank you again,
Victor

What can I do to install CAD ?

I ran into a different problem back when WIN7 was released, the error was along the line CAD detected unsporting OS. No matter how I finagled the OS nothing would work. I did read a little blurb to modify the MSI install file and it works quite well. I have since installed my modded MSI Agent Desktop and Supervisor Desktop on WIN7 64bit also no problem at all. Locate yourself a copy of SuperOrca and open Agent Destop.msi and scroll down to LaunchCondition Delete the top two lines
Condition and Description
#1 (CADOR) OR ((VersionNT=500 AND MsiNTProductType=1) OR (VersionNT=501) OR (VersionNT=600) OR (VersionNT=500 AND MsiNTProductType>=2 AND NOT SERVER_INSTALLED) OR (VersionNT=502 AND NOT SERVER_INSTALLED))
#2 (CADOR) OR (NOT (SERVER_INSTALLED OR SUPERVISOR_INSTALLED))
Save the Agent Desktop.msi to something like Agent Desktop WIN7.msi save it someplace handy and run it.
You may find you need to run as admin IF your using WIN7 PRO/HOME etc etc Ultimate shouldn’t give you these probs if the application installs yet wont launch go to control panel look into running compatibility etc etc
If you have odd securities errors while running the program Blame the OS go to the Cisco install folder and give the domain user full control security ect on THEIR folder, this will clear up any client side issues.
Most who run into this problem delete the two lines indicated above then smooth sailing.

How to install DKMS within Win7(host) + Arch(guest)

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11657
The following is my environment:
Host: Win 7
Guest: Virtual Box + Arch (kernel 2.6.33)
Now, I want to adjust the resolution inside VBox, default is always 800x600 and cannot change it without any more actions.
So I refered to the manual in VBox, said need to install VBoxAddition.
But I don't know how to install DKMS, which is a project form DELL, and it seems to be prerequsite for VBoxAddition.
Thanks in advance.

sand_man wrote:Ummm.... This is the second of these posts I've seen lately so I'm a little confused.
You just need to install virtualbox-additions from the official repos. The package is merely the guest additions iso file which you need to mount in the guest and install from there.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _Additions
Anyway, thank you for the reply.
But I look up in the URL you posted, it's used in the case of Arch(host) + Arch(guest) or as my understanding, at least Arch(host).
quoted from the Arch-Vitualbox wiki : "The instructions immediately below are for an Archlinux guest on an Archlinux host."
and I also tried as the instruction, it cannot work indeed. so I think DKMS is a must for WinXXX(host) + Arch(guest).
As for other guest hosted in WinXXXX, like Debian(Ubuntu), Fedora distros, it has repo package at hands, so can be used directly.
When it comes to our Arch, it's treated as Unsupported package, so I am asking how to install DKMS under such circumstances.
quotes from Virtual Box manual:
The VirtualBox Guest Additions for Linux are provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as the Additions for Windows described above. They also come with an installation program guiding you through the setup process, although, due to the significant differences between Linux distributions, installation may be slightly more complex.
Installation generally involves the following steps:
1.
Before installing the Guest Additions, you will have to prepare your guest system for building external kernel modules. This works similarly as described in the section called "The VirtualBox kernel module", except that this step must now be performed in your Linux guest instead of on a Linux host system, as described there.
Again, as with Linux hosts, we recommend using DKMS for Linux guests as well. If it is not installed, use this command for Ubuntu/Debian systems:
sudo apt-get install dkms
or for Fedora systems:
yum install dkms
Make sure to nstall DKMS before installing the Linux Guest Additions.
2.
Mount the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file as your Linux guest's virtual CD-ROM drive, exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in the section called "Installation".
3.
Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root:
sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
In a 64-bit Linux guest, use VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run instead.
For your convenience, the following step-by-step instructions have been verified to work for freshly installed copies of the most popular Linux distributions. After these preparational steps, you can execute the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer as described above.

How to install windows remote desktop services with Microsoft Remote desktop License

Hi
we have plane to install a server in our company, having windows server 2008 R2 - 64 bit. and also buy 10 RD cal.
now how can install RD call after installing windows OS.
kindly help will highly appreciate.
Arvind

Hi Arvind,
On your server, using Server Manager, you need to install RD Session Host and RD Licensing Role Services at minimum. After install you should set the licensing mode to match the type of RDS CALs you purchased as well as Specify the licensing server
name (itself). You may do this in RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc) or via group policy.
Next in RD Licensing Manager you need to Activate your licensing server. Before you can install your purchased 2012 RDS CALs you will need to contact the Clearinghouse and have them downgraded to 2008. Please have your licensing number,
authorization number, licensing paperwork/emails ready before you call them.
Locate the Microsoft Clearinghouse Telephone Number for Your Country or Region
