Centos 6 minimal to Gnome - Errors

Post by agriz » 2013/01/11 06:21:32

I tried to install GNOME to minimal version of centos 6.3

In the beginning i used kde. Then i uninstalled them. I installed all the required group for gnome.

The problem is

When i type startx the normal user is seeing a blank screen. But root is connected to desktop with warning. In root login, unable to change the switch user

The following error is displayed

You said that you installed all the groups required for Gnome, but how did you do so? If you did it manually, it's possible that you missed some groups. [b]yum[/b] will automatically check dependencies. You can also install [b]yum-utils[/b], which includes [b]package-cleanup[/b]; run [b]package-cleanup --problems[/b] to make sure that all dependencies are installed.
