The lxde packages are indeed not on the Workstation media. Why not install from the LXDE media? https://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxde/download/index.html Or one of the network install isos: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/23/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23.iso https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/23/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-23.iso I'm not sure there's anything else we can do for you here...
Most media of Fedora require internet access to fetch rpm for installation. We used DVD of workstation, because it include all rpm in it and comps.xml include lxde package.
Hello Kevin, Which media is include LXDE all rpms ?
Here are reference for documentation that clearly state that it should work. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LXDE#Fedora_installation_DVD Installing LXDE LXDE is available in the repository, via the Fedora LXDE Spin and installation DVD. You can also install LXDE packages after installation using DNF or the package manager of your choice. Fedora installation DVD If you have downloaded the Fedora DVD, you can install LXDE by selecting "LXDE" group in "Desktop Environments"
Fedora stopped making a "Install DVD" with Fedora 20. So, that page is out of date sadly. ;( The only media that includes all the lxde packages is the lxde live media, as I noted: "https://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxde/download/index.html" I'll try and find time to correct that page, in the mean time you will need a netinstall iso or a live lxde. Good luck.
Hello Kevin, As I mention before XLDE media doesn't include rpm's inside the iso it require internet connection to pull all packages. When you do install from ipxe that not really good way to go. How I can correct iso to use internal repository for XLDE rpms instead go to Fedora public mirrors ?
Yes, the LXDE live is a live media, it doesn't have packages, it has the installed content. I suppose you could make your own local mirror that has all the packages you want and use that to install? Otherwise you are going to have to get them from the net I fear.
I am trying build DVD LXDE with pungi, by far it fail some misconfiguration or bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1328135
Do you know what %packages list and group need use in anaconda/kickstart to create LXDE DVD ? I can't find any valid information about it.
You can go look at the old install dvd kickstart from f20: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-install-fedora.ks?h=f20 it looks like it uses: ## LXDE @lxde-desktop @lxde-apps @lxde-media @lxde-office
Hello Kevin, I build ks for pungi, but the issue right now that in installation wizard software section empty. I opened bug report for it, because I don't see anything useful in logs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1329736
