I have a desktop running MATE! Glad you got it working. I thought I'd mention that the reboot is not strictly necessary. The command yum isolate graphical.target will switch the system immediately to the named target. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Nothing seems to bring back the yum "X Window system" group. Can anyone help me resolve this issue and tell me what I did wrong? First, thanks for everyone who tried to help me with this problem. At this point I will apologize to the list for what I think is just user error. Indeed I have convinced myself that there is no group package "X Window system" albeit one may have existed many years ago. For those who are interested in the full story continue reading other please accept my apology and many thanks for the list help. Second, here is the full story. I wanted to install Mate after doing a minimal install. All the documentation I found on the web indicated that after enabling the epel repository I should do this sequence of yum commands(or something equivalent): > sudo yum groupinstall "X Window system" -y > sudo yum groups install "MATE Desktop" -y Unfortunately I did things in opposite order and when I tried to do > startx X windows would not startup. I swear that the after doing the "yum groupinstall "X Window system" that packages were downloaded and installed. So I chalked up the X start failure to doing things in the incorrect order. So this morning I thought I would start with a clean slate and did: > yum groupremove "X Window system" "MATE Desktop" > yum groupinstall "X Window system" That is when I received the error message I did in my first post. So just now I went back to another CentoOS 7 system running Mate and re-produced the yum commands. It turns out the history contained everything I needed. In my case I just needed to install the elrepo to get the Nvidia drivers for my video card and first installed those: > yum install kmod-nvida nvidia-x11-drv Then it was just a matter of: > yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" > systemctl set-default graphical.target > reboot Voila... I have a desktop running MATE! I think the web instructions I found are outdated (although one web page was dated 2/18/2018. There doesn't exist a "X Window system" yum group. Generally I tell people when stuff like this happens that digital computers can't lie... next time I will take my own advice. Again thanks to everyone who helped... Your time was appreciated. -- Paul (ga...@nurdog.com) Cell: (303)257-5208 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That too completed without error. Your RPM was built on a Fedora, RHEL 6, or other more recent OS with the updated version of RPM. I'm afraid you'll have to recompile it to get it to work well: use 'rpm2cpio' to take apart the SRPM and get the files, then deposit them in a relevant "SOURCES" directory with the .spec file in your relevant SPECS directory, and try to rebuild RPM's with the .spec file. I can get into more detail if you need it, but it's how I backported Torque 2.4.10 to RHEL 5 from the EPEL RHEL 6 repository two weeks ago. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
