I want to install Xfce on a ClearOS server. They have not defined any desktop groups (actually no groups other than minimal). But lots of Xfce rpms are in their repos.
How can I see what rpms Centos would install with a 'yum group install'?
Then I get to install vnc server and set up the client right...
thanks

Ah,
I had tried
yum groupinfo "Xfce Desktop"
And got the listing of groups, not packages.
thanks

to *really* see what its going to install...
yum groupinstall "Some Group"
then answer N (no) after it lists the packages it wants to install. this will show you not only whats in the group, but also any prerequisites.

Not needed. I want to install Xfce desktop on a ClearOS system. They do not provide a group for any of the desktops. So all I need is a list of rpms that create the desktop and let yum do its job from there. Of course, I need to read the manpage to figure out how to provide the rpms from a file that I got from the group info output....
Can some one that has a Centos7-x64 system please send me the output of:
yum group info Xfce
My Centos7-armv7 does not have an Xfce group, only Gnome and KDE. And all else I have here are Fedora 25-x64 laptops. I want to see what Centos7 considers to be in the Xcfe desktop.
thanks

Thanks. Much different output than I got from Fedora. What are all those + in front of each line?
the recommendation on how to feed a list into yum from:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47304/centos-install-packages-liste...
yum -y install $(cat filename cat | tr '\n' ' ')
Will need a bit more editing of the list than just removing the first lines!
hmm. but that seems like an error with 'cat filename cat' ??

So when I run this list thru yum on the ClearOS7 I get a few packages that are not available. I will take that up with them. But interestingly:
Package xfce4-mixer is obsoleted by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, trying to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.2.4-4.el7.x86_64 instead
So is this a problem with the Xfce group in Centos7 in general?
I seem to be missing some important rpms, even when I enable the clearos-centos.repo which is suppose to include all of the centos rpms not customized by clearos.
How can I check out if centos7-x64 has these missing rpms:
No package xfce-utils available. No package NetworkManager-gnome available. No package leafpad available. No package xfce4-icon-theme available. Package xfce4-mixer is obsoleted by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, trying to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.2.4-4.el7.x86_64 instead No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available.
?
I would rather enable Xfce than Gnome. I have totally switched to Xfce on all my Fedora platforms. By enabling the clearos-centos.repo I have the option of the Gnome group to install...
thanks

Thanks. I followed this to: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/
And could not find any of the following:
No package xfce-utils available. No package NetworkManager-gnome available. No package leafpad available. No package xfce4-icon-theme available.

So it would appear that an Xfce desktop install is 'broken' for some level of brokeness for Centos7.
But interestingly, NetworkManager-gnome is not used by gnome. It has a bunch of other NetworkManager rpms. I also checked Fedora 21 and 24 and their Xfce desktop does not list NetworkManager-gnome when I do a group info xfce. So there is something wrong in the packaging of the xfce group in Centos7-x64 that Scott provided me...

Enabling epel does not provide an Xfce group. Enabling epel does not give me the missing rpms. It does provide both mixer and pulseaudio-plugin, but not the others.
So Xfce is still broken at some level of brokeness with C7.

It did not give any errors and the install list does not mention any of the missing packages that you list above. It works fine with C7. There must be some difference with your system.

The group is not on my system. I am using ClearOS' version of the Centos repos, so not necessarily a surprise. And all my other servers are Centos7-armv7hl, also with no Xfce group. But the armv7hl repos have a number of build challenges that we have had to work around...
Can you please run:
yum group info Xfce

Plus 193 dependencies. I do not have any xfce packages installed already.
Note that you do not have xfce-utils or leafpad.
Do you have themes? What is your background.
I have actually gotten Xfce working. Kindof. I am into Xfce via vncserver. It pretty much looks like Xfce on my Fedora systems. Backleveled a bit of course. No sensor applet to show the cpu temp for example.
But no background, other than black.
Oh, and no NetworkManager on the tray.
I am going to install geany for the editor. I use geany a lot for editing xml and html files so am familiar with it. It is just a bit much for editing a simple text file.
Anyway, it is possible to get Xfce running on Centos7, but it is missing some rpms.

I don't actually use Xfce. I was just noting that it did not give me any errors on my system regarding missing packages. I have not attempted to install and use it.

thanks for the info, still.
So I just have to pull out my round tuit and file a bug report...
(I actually HAVE a round tuit in my drawer. Somewhere...) :)

There are random things... like apcupsd isn't in the EPEL 6.9 repo, but it was in 6.8, and it's in 7.

Mine, sitting on my desk at home, was from the '95 Glasgow bid for Worldcon....
