Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install both KDE and Gnome 2.Remove Gnome from Add/remove 3.Reboot the system Actual results: The system wont start as there is not greeter present at login screen even when KDE is present. Expected results: The system should work properly as KDE is still present Additional info: I dont know if this is the right place to report the bug .. :-)
Looks like due to some "interesting" package dependencies, removing gnome-desktop group does indeed remove much of kde (kdebase, in particular). Using pirut or yum to (re) groupinstall kde-desktop afterwards should fix things back up.
Further digging by Rex showed that the dependency chain should be broken somewhere in this chain: kde-settings-kdm => redhat-artwork-kde => redhat-artwork => gnome-themes drago01 mentioned that Ray was looking into changing redhat-artwork's dependency chain. Ray, does what you're looking doing address this?
Yea, should. I basically want to break redhat-artwork up into a bunch of packages, instead of making it the huge mega package that it is today with lots of engines and themes, etc.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
