http://forums.fedoraforum.org – OK, I had some issues with openSuSE and it busted GRUB; I had to reinstall. After about an hour reinstalling XP con...er pro I got Fedora back on. :D I am using my typical KDE spin, and am debating wheather I should get Gnome, LXDE, or MATE. Any ideas? :confused: Gnome gave me grief last time, so I'm looking for something that can be easily removed if necesarry. (HowTos)

Ok im no linux newb im acually migrating to the EE spin from debian/gentoo.. I just want to know if i can somehow use the lxde spin and add all the packages in the EE spin. #1 I hate gnome i dont want it even installed. #2 this is my work pc for engineering and its a bit slim on specs p4 with 1gb ram. I usually use kde, but for this set up i want something light like lxde.

hi,

Originally I installed Fedora 17 original one (that with Gnome) on my laptop but out of curiosity I have several other DEs on my laptop as well.

What I did is :

Code: yum groupinstall LXDE yum groupinstall FXCE also I have MATE on my laptop, following the guide on forum. since they were just installed for curiosity and I don't use anything other than Gnome practically, I'd like

Hi there! I'm a little curious, as GNOME Shell's really a great DE 'cause it's really about as customizable as GNOME 2 was if you think about it, if there's any way you can get MGSE in the GNOME spin of Fedora, as well as Docky and Conky. You can set up something like that easily in Fedora, or any other RPM-based GNOME Shell distro, such as Mageia, right?

What Desktops do you use? 24 weeks 5 days ago

Well what do you use? I use KDE GNOME Shell XFCE LXDE and MATE. I like them all. Primarily I use gnome shell for average everyday use. When I'm showing off linux capabilities KDE or MATE. Slow day with the computer? XFCE or LXDE depending on how much of a tweaked desktop I want. :dance:

XFCE is heavily Tweaked and LXDE is pretty much the same usual way it looked when I installed it.

Gnome 2 for F17??!! 29 weeks 2 days ago

Okay, I saw this and it made me wonder.

Yes I know, people complain about GNOME 3 -- if you think this is just going to be like every other thread complaining that "GNOME 3 sucks", go away. This is my rant and I don't care what you think.

No for -my- rant. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE !!!

So what happened?

I allowed a automatic update to run and after a suggested reboot, none of the desktop applications had menus any more.

Very frustrating

when booting into KDE menus are present so it's just a gnome corruption.

I tried reinstalling gnome.... but no change It's not limited to my user account any login has same issues.

I was just about to install fedora KDE spin but i can't configure my mobile broadband USB stick to work. It works fine in gnome, xfce, lxde, unity, mate, cinnamon with just a few clicks... Is there a way to set this problem in offline mode...
