[arch-general] Gnome is Working But Missing Apps
I have Gnome Desktop Environment up and running perfect on my Arch x86_64 system but I elected to not install "gnome-extra" packages because it installs too much junk I don't want and or need. My question is I am missing two applications from Gnome and don't know what they're called and or what to search for. 1st - I can't open any JPEG or PNG images because Gnome does not appear to have the proper application to manage displaying those types of files. Can someone tell me what the name of the package is Gnome uses for default image viewing? I don't want Gimp for editing images, just to plainly view them. 2nd - I need the ability to RDP into a Windows XP workstation and I installed "rdesktop" packages via Pacman but I think that is the back end package and I am looking for the Gnome GUI application which allows me to do so. I don't know the name of that package. Can anyone please point me in the correct direction?

so do pacman -S gnome-extra, answer NO and then chose whatever you want or you can do pacman -Sg gnome-extra to see packages in gnome-extra.

I think this one is "eog".
Please, pacman -Sg gnome-extra after pacman -Si package_name | grep -i Description Lookup the package that you needs, some questions are answered with pacman commands. And do what Ionut said. -- Leandro Inácio On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 13:21, Ray Kohler <ataraxia937@gmail.com> wrote:

I believe what you want is the eye of gnome application, a middleweight image viewer. sudo pacman -S eog Best regards Nicklas W Bjurman On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 5:25 PM, Leandro Inacio <carvalho.inacio@gmail.com> wrote:
