[opensuse-factory] How to Install GNOME3 Desktop and Removing KDE4 (or Vice Versa) Safely
Hi all, I was accidentally removing alsa-plugins-pulse package when removing KDE4 packages (on kde4 and kde_basis patterns) in case to install GNOME 3.2 desktop (install them from gnome and gnome_basis patterns) on 'yast sw_single'. Finding that my openSUSE 12.1 RC1 was no sound when running 'speaker-test' so I filled bug[0] yesterday. I just wondering about $Subject in one single process, remove KDE4 and install GNOME3 (or vice versa) in the same time, so user will have a good move to doing it. Thanks in advance.

There's no easy way to remove a complete DE (which might be hundreds of packages). There are not air-tight shutters between the different DEs. There's actually some things shared across desktops, so many packages will be needed in both KDE _and_ GNOME. Either install the DE that you actually want to use to begin with, or manually clean up on a package-by-package basis. I don't see how it could be any different. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, so there should be a guide or tell it on Wiki which packages must be available (installed) on a basic working desktop (Office suite, multimedia, video and sound environment, etc.) And so there is no other useless BNC in the future like mine[1] again.. =) Happy weekend!

I guess it's mostly a matter of documenting which patterns you want to install to get a desktop, I guess; so it shouldn't be too hard...
