Quest *nix Xwindows

浅沫记忆

国内一般网站搜到的linux系统添加Xwindows都是无法完成的,至少我在Ct6.3上不行,也许是yum源配置不同问题
我举个站点大家自己上去看,本人就不多说了,多说也无益,.

添加Xwindwos[GNOME or KDE]原因是什么呢?一般在linux下装那个叫Orc foglight的,我总结笼统概况就是`fool software install interface  for SB fool mans software`!
自己理解吧！它还就要那个界面.


文章上原官网的链接  ，上面的文章都是非常不错的,本文整理者ruiy 哥哥，我是这么认为的哦!,不知道你是怎么理解的,意见保留吧!，在此就不多说啦
我总结的,直接了当的就2步跑完,干别的！
yum -y groupinstall 'X Window System' 
yum -y groupinstall kde-desktop 别的可以在我的文章了有【关于rhel/centos 本地iso盘yum源啦,163源啦,mongodb啦,自己总结吧】

Introduction
In most instances, the Linux servers I setup are used to host the Oracle database software and only require using the Command-Line Interface (CLI) for the OS. This is beneficial because I only need to perform a minimal installation and can add only those required Linux packages (RPMs) needed to support the database. However, there are situations where I need to access a graphical desktop in order to install or run certain Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications.
This guide provides the steps needed to add the GNOME Desktop to a CentOS minimal installation where the OS was installed without the X Window System.
CentOS 6
In this section, the GNOME desktop will be added to a new server running CentOS 6.2 (x86_64) after performing a "Minimal" install.
Install Desktop Packages

# yum -y groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform"  "X Window System" "Fonts"

You can also install the following optional GUI packages.

# yum -y groupinstall "Graphical Administration Tools" # yum -y  groupinstall "Internet Browser" # yum -y  groupinstall "General Purpose Desktop" # yum -y  groupinstall "Office Suite and Productivity" # yum -y  groupinstall "Graphics Creation Tools"

Finally, if you wanted to add the K Desktop Environment (KDE).

# yum -y groupinstall kde-desktop

When using yumgroupinstall, the groupinstall optiononly installs default and mandatory packagesfrom the group. There are times when you also want to include optional packageswithin a group. I have not figured out (yet) how to control which package typesto install (group package "policy") from the command-line using yum. The only methodI know of to also include optional packages is to edit the /etc/yum.conf fileand add the following to the[main] section:

group_package_types=default mandatory optional

The reason I mention this is because I wanted to install"Terminal emulator for the X Window System" (xterm)which is under the group "Legacy X Window System compatibility". xterm happensto be an optional package and did not get installed until I added group_package_types=default mandatory optional to /etc/yum.conf.

# yum -y groupinstall "Legacy X Window System compatibility"

I did find a plug-in for yum that allows users to specify which package types within apackage group should be installed when using yum groupinstall.

Enable GNOME
Since the server was previously running on CLI mode, we need tochange the initialization process for the machine to boot up in GUI mode.
Open /etc/inittab using a text editor and change following line:

id:3:initdefault:

To:

id:5:initdefault:

After making the change, reboot the machine.

# init 6

Note that you can switch from GUI to CLI mode manually by usingfollowing method:
GUI to CLI: Ctrl + Alt + F6
CLI to GUI: Ctrl + Alt + F1
Installing Additional Applications
After logging in to the GNOME Desktop, you can now go to System > Administration > Add/Remove Software to manage application in CentOS.
By using this wizard, you can install various applicationssimilar to yum but through a GUI. Applications installed using this methodwill appear in the Application menulist.
