[arch-general] gnome only install - installing compiz pulls in kde4-runtime?? Why?
Guys, First install with the 2010-5 dual net install on an i686 box. Kudos, install was painless. Only issue was I had my pkg/ dir on a usb stick and I couldn't get the installer to use it for install. I mounted it where it was supposed to be mounted according to the installer (don't remember exactly /src/core/pkg or the like). It couldn't find the core.blah package... This is the first install where I haven't install kde/kdm. For this install, I only installed gnome/gdm. I don't want kde4 within 10 feet of this box. I do want compiz installed. When I installed compiz, it pulled in kde4 runtime, the compiz-decorator-kde, kdelibs, etc.. Why? Can't I just have a gnome box with compiz? Can I uninstall the kde4 mess? -- David C.

That was what I missed. Thanks Evangelos! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

You obviously do not want the whole compiz group which includes compiz-decorator-kde. To install just the gtk stuff: pacman -S compiz-core compiz-decorator-gtk or if you have already done the install: pacman -Rs compiz-decorator-kde

That was the other piece I needed! Thank you Allan :p [04:00 dcrgx2:/etc] # pacman -Rs compiz-decorator-kde checking dependencies...

That's what I wanted. Allan, never stop giving users that extra bit of help with the command line, like 'pacman -Rs compiz-decorator-kde'. That saved me at least an hour of searching, frustration and trial and error. For users moving to Arch from other distros with different package managers, that extra effort and little extra bit of help is worth its weight in gold! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
