I am trying to get LXDE installed on my HDA so that I can run the CrashPlanDesktop client and configure the computer.

I have followed instructions given to me in IRC and run

Code: Select all

yum groupinstall "LXDE"

When I run

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/startlxde

I get

cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf’: No such file or directory
which: no dbus-launch in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

I was told to try

Code: Select all

yum -y groupremove "LXDE" && yum -y groupinstall "Fedora Workstation" --skip-broken && systemctl set-default graphical.target && reboot

but the output is:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
* rpmfusion-free: ftp.nluug.nl
* rpmfusion-free-updates: ftp.nluug.nl

No environment named LXDE exists

Warning: group Fedora Workstation does not exist.
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

Can anyone help me get LXDE working?

Thanks.

Also you can install CrashPlan desktop client on Windows/MAC and configure the HDA CrashPlan server from there. Better option than installing a desktop on a server that is not really necessary.

Thanks. No, that doesn't seem to apply to me. I have rebooted the HDA and am still only getting a text-mode login screen, no option to change session type. I think I need to run a script to configure LXDE but I am not sure what it is.

Yes, that is what I would like to do. There are instructions at https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Crashplan for controlling the desktop client on the HDA from a Windows machine but not from a Mac.

Should be very similar.

That guidance came from the CrashPlan web site. You might check there as well.
