Hi,
As a Linux nubie, I have been trying to install Gnome on the Trixbox 1.1 and have failed miserably because of a dependancy of Gimp-Print, namely "libijs.so"
It looks like when yum tries to install Gimp-Print it does not find the libijs.so dependancy and fails Gnomes dependancy check, i installed ghostscript as libijs.so was supposedly included but it wasn't and i have tried to get the file from the net to no avail.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
TIA,
Matt.
Hi Matt,
sorry to bounce off your thread, but did you ever find an answer to this? I'm in the same place.
thanks,
Shaun
Hello Math and Shaun,
For what do you want to install Gnome on a server?
If you want some tools on your PBX-server then you can beter install webmin, it's a webbased adm programm were you can manage the compleet server.
Gnome is more for the desktop.
On the unix promt
yum -y install webmin
after install you can start it on
http://yourserver:10000

i do not know how to install gnome, but this is the way to install KDE:
yum install kdebase
yum install system-config*
yum install kdeutils
yum install firefox
yum install yum-utils
after that, you have to configure your display by doing
system-config-display
restart
and log it
then type
startx and you'll have a GUI
Try this...
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" --exclude=gimp-print --exclude=gimp-print-utils
If you need internet tools and office/productivity tools follow-up with.
yum groupinstall "Graphical Internet" "Office/Productivity"
Then configure the xwindows environment
Type system-config-display - Reboot the computer before running this command.
Finally, type startx to run the GNOME Desktop
To run the desktop by default , edit the “inittab” file.
vi /etc/inittab
press i to switch to edit mode and change the line that reads:
id:3:initdefualt:
to
id:5:initdefault:
Press the "esc" key then enter :wq to write to and exit the inittab file.
Now at the command prompt type "init 5" or reboot your system.
yum install *gimp*

I am new at this... So I goofed!
Try this Instead...
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" --exclude=gimp-*

And i dont know a thing about LINUX either... but it worked for me. Good Luck!
I am having trouble installing GNOME
The following didn't work for me:
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" --exclude="gimp-print"
Any ideas?
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" --exclude=gimp-*
works fine to me
Don't install gnome or any GUI on your server =/ It will only eat up RAM. In general-- trixbox servers aren't meant to be used as desktops. First of all, most desktop users need steady updates for security, program updates, etc. Performing these kinds of updates on a trixbox server can be disastrous, as RPM dependencies will surely mess up php/sql/python/etc which make trixbox work the way it does. There are many other issues to be careful of here. I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you do not use it as a desktop!!
