What is in a minimal KDE install?

Hi all,
I love the philosophy of Arch in keeping things simple. I also like KDE and am trying to install as few packages as possible. I know to do a minimal KDE install, I do this:
pacman -S kdebase kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere phonon-vlc
My question is: what does this minimal install include? I don't need lots of games and screensaves, but things like Kate, Konsole, Dolphin, Konqueror, System Settings, archiver, file diff, universal file viewer (Okular I think), etc... are very useful. I also like the visual effects, like fading and what not. So what does the base include and what do I need to install to get the things above I want? A quick Google search and I found this:
konqueror konsole kate kdiff3 kde-misc/konq-plugins kde-base/dolphin kde-base/okular
But what about the themes and visual effects?

How about running this command and finding for yourself?
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -S kdebase kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere phonon-vlc
:: There are 11 members in group kdebase:
:: Repository extra
1) kde-wallpapers 2) kdebase-dolphin 3) kdebase-kdepasswd 4) kdebase-kdialog
5) kdebase-keditbookmarks 6) kdebase-kfind 7) kdebase-konq-plugins
8) kdebase-konqueror 9) kdebase-konsole 10) kdebase-kwrite 11) kdebase-plasma
Enter a selection (default=all):
There's no kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere package, you have to pick one for your your language.

Minimal KDE Install & Other Questions

I attempted to install KDE, but aborted because of all the bloat that comes with it. Being a tired Gnome user, I can't stand bloat. All I want is a minimal, but usable KDE. But I also don't want it to be too minimal. Any advise?
I have a question about updates. In Ubuntu, the system updated painlessly (most of the time). Is it "generally" that way in Arch, or do updates sometimes break things? I haven't been an Arch user long enough to know.
What is with the awful OpenOffice performance? I have J2RE installed. In Ubuntu, it was heavy, but there wasn't a type delay!
Last, but certainly not least - CUPS. I can't live without CUPS. I type and print out a LOT of school related papers (which is why improving OO performance is almost equally important). I've been a Linux user for over three years, so I'm decently experienced. I just can't keep up with the CUPS Wiki, though. Are there any easier guides out there? I print to an Epson Stylus Photo 825 (which has excellent drivers) that's connected to a Windows PC on the network. I'm not sure about the host or printer name, which has been another set back.

1 - install kdemod http://www.kdemod.ath.cx/
2 - Everybody talks about how Arch never breaks the system on updates, even if you have 600MB to update. There is only one change for this to happen. You don't read. Example: when arch switched to udev, pacman showed during months a message saying that devfs support was going to be dropped. So, the only "pain" is to read pacman messages after upgrades (that is no pain)
3 - OpenOffice performance is more than well. it boots it about 10 seconds. There's also no type delay. My brother switched from arch to ubuntu, and one thing that he misses from arch is the speed.
4 - CUPS? Just install cups, start the daemon and add it to rc.conf so that it gets started automatically on after rebooting.
- To setup you printer: http://localhost:631/
- To find your printer: (change the 192.168.0. to what corresponds in your network)
for i in $(seq 1 254); do ping -c 1 192.168.0.$i|grep icmp_seq& done;

Kde install fails: library error

Hi
I did a pacman -S kde and chose to install all but accblty,network,sdk. I left it for nine hours ( for slow speeds over here). Then it had to interrupt and I ran the command again. This time it downloaded the rest from current.
It then procedded with fixesproto, libfixes, xorg-server 1.1.1,mesa expat, dbus, avahi, muzicbrainz upgrade forom testing ( horrors, I just enabled this repository)
The errors

error following file conflict were found:

Dont know why this happened, could you help
Thanks

Hi
Just installed the updated glibc 2.4. It finished without hitches.
I tried installing kde again. But the same error persists. Could you reccommend (based on what you have on you system) which /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.* must I keep and which one must I mv (as a last measure?) or is there another method for fixing this problem?
And my connection is a 24 hr "broadband". In this part of the world, it could get real slow and so I download things at night. Its morning here right now ;-)
Thanks
I had the same problem on an installation of 0.7.2. I just deleted the two files and KDE installed with no problems. BUT, later, I installed again from scratch. This time I did # pacman -Syu before any additional software installation, and I didn't get that error.
Good luck, jimbo

What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?!

Hello,
My computer was working perfectly with Win7 for about 2years until I formatted on monday to clean a little bit my drives ... Since then I'm unable to install windows again. I have the 0x80070570 error.
The complete error message is:
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure that all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error code:0x80070570.
What is the 0x80070570 error when installing Win7 or Win8 or Win 8.1 on a clean SSD/HDD ?! These versions are full from MSDN.
What I did already:
check my RAM (16go gskill)
remove unnecessary hard drives
replace my "old" SSD with a clean new one
remove my sound cards
remove the mouse and use only keyboard
reset the BIOS
check every LED on the motherboard (asus sabertooth z77) and there is no problem
What are the problems?
Thanks,
Adrien.

Hi,
If all images cannot be installed, we have a reason to suspect the hardware cause.
If you use two memory slots to get 16G RAM, I suggest you test with just one (8G) to check the result.

HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

What's the best route to install Snow Leopard from 10.5.8

I followed the instructions but the installation killed safari, my ethernet connection, my local apache and my mysql server. I don't know what else was killed when I installed snow leopard, but that was enough to make me decide to try restoring from time machine - which worked out perfectly. A friend suggested I do a scratch install - does anyone on the board have any thoughts? Figured I would reach out in an effort to keep from loosing another day.
Should I wait until 10.6.1 comes out?

Do you have an external drive for making a clone of your 10.5.8 system? If not, I'd get one. Then, I'd make the clone. Next, I do an erase and install of SL on my internal drive. At the end you will be "allowed" to restore your apps, settings, and data from the clone. If things don't work out, then I much rather restore a clone to my internal than to rely on Time Machine--although Time Machine befriended you once. I'd use SuperDuper to make the clone; this program is completely up to date.

What's the better order to install OEM + AS + DB

Hi everbody.
What's the better order to install on RHEL4 Update2:
- Enterprise Manager Control Grid (10gR2)
- Database (10gR2)
- Application Server (10gR3)
And about the $ORACLE_HOME?? How to? Each instalation have a separate $ORACLE_HOME??
Tks!

Rafael,
Save the Grid Control as the last installation. The order of Database and Application Server doesn't matter, however I would personally install the database first.
Please read all Installation Guides' before starting any installations, and follow all pre-requisites stated for RHEL4.
The Installation Guide's states that all products must be installed in separate ORACLE_HOME. As a matter of fact, the Oracle Installer doesn't allow installing any of these products into an existing ORACLE_HOME.
Regards,
Martin

What are the correct steps for installing Oracle Entitlement Server SSM?

Can somebody explain what are the correct steps to install OES SSM 10.1.4.3? I have installed OES admin 10.1.4.3 and applied the CP2 patch. it is allowing me to open Entitlement Administration, where I can define the policy.
Is it sufficient to have this Entitlement Admin to call the policy from BPM? Do I need a SSM ?
When I try to configure Java SSM using ConfigTool.bat -process myssm_config.properties I am getting the following error

Yes I have explored this pdf...but it doesn't tell how to use the policy from the BPM. My question is if I want to use the policies from BPM, then do I need to install the SSM ?
If yes, what are the correct steps of installation ?

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

How to find out what version of DB Server was installed (32bit or 64)?

Hello
Maybe somebody would know if there is any way
to find out what version of DB Server was installed (32bit or 64)?
I need this information when downloading patches from oracle metalink.
PN

connect as sysdba using sqlplus and you'll get similar banner:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
This shows you are running 64 bit version.
OR
query the v$version (select * from v$version) you'll get the same as above.

I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?

I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?
an ipod touch supports all files types which its apps support

thanks, it's good to get a reply, but why do you keep going on about windows? Agreed, there is no mention that Tremor runs on iOS. So far this is the only reason given that it cannot run on iOS. You can read and I can read.
By putting the question to the community I was hoping for something like: the app you want is here-link, or the app you want cannot be written because technical-reason.
From a words point of view it would seem to be open for any ios developer to support DMG files.

What's the correct order to install OEM Grid Control + DB + AS?

Hi everbody! I'm getting start on OracleAS and Grid Control.
What's the correct order to install:
* Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control
* Database 10gR2
* Application Server 10gR3
(on RHEL4-Upd2)
or the order is not important?
I need have the environment for each oracle software ($ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_BASE)? Or install first one, and change the environment and install, change again and install, etc.. ? :)
Tks!

Hey Rafael! You only have to use the Grid Control CDS, AS, repository database and grid control software are installed automatically, so you dont have to worry about the order u should have to follow.
Anyways if u have already installed a database u can use that one as a repository.
about the enviorment variables i guess u´ll be prompted for just one only directory cause u only need to install the software only one time.
hope u find this interesting!!
Regards, Luis

What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.
