Hi *,
I have two machines running Leap 42.3. Both used to provide a graphical login for quite a long time, but they were turned into pure server machines, that don't need graphics any longer.
What is the easiest way to get rid of all programs and libs belonging to kde, gnome, lxde, ...? I tried to uninstall the according patterns, but the list of packages to be uninstalled contains programs and libs that are vital for the system, too.
Hm, difficult indeed. I assume the issue is that a lot of things in a pattern are pulled via recommendations. They might still be needed/recommended from other packages/patterns. How did you try to uninstall? If I try a 'zypper rm -t pattern kde' it doesn't claim to remove any package... One idea would be to remove the pattern, and then check with 'zypper packages --unneeded' - maybe that gives a more reasonable list? But I'm just guessing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
