I just did a fresh minimal install of centos 7 on new hardware. While playing around with window systems I removed X windows like so:
yum remove "X Window system"
and then tried to re install
yum group install "X Window system"
which gives this error:
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum) No packages in any requested group available to install or upgrade
I tried running:
yum groups mark install "X Window system"
and get the same message. I tried different permutations removing the "s" on groups. 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?
Thanks for your help.
yum grouplist does not show "X Window system" for me, on CentOS 7.
yum remove "non existent stuff" gives me
Warning: group non existent stuff does not exist. Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum) Error: No packages in any requested group available to install or update
That seems consistent with what you get.
HTH,
