hi everybody!
im trying to get gnome to run on my archlinux, but the command "pacman -Sy gnome" doenst work. it prints an error message like "nss-spr conflicts with mozilla-firefox".
also tried with a complete fresh install. only base system install, + nvidia drivers and xorg with pacman, and the last would be then "gnome" but there im stuck.
has anybody a clou for this?-eye
Install mozilla-firefox first, then gnome.
]]>Run the following command:
pacman -S gnome
When it asks you if you want to install all the groups, select No
Keep hitting yes on all groups until you get to Yelp - select No for Yelp
After the install, run
pacman -S yelp
Everything will go through perfectly and then you can run pacman -S gnome-extra
]]>When everything from testing moves to current/extra in about two weeks, then this will no longer be an issue, since firefox 1.0.6 depends on nspr then.
]]>I'd suggest installing mozilla-firefox. Install it first with pacman, then install GNOME.
# pacman -S mozilla-firefox
# pacman -S gnome
EDIT: What I've written is related to Firefox 1.0.4. I don't know if the one from testing conflicts with nss-spr, as I didn't have nss-spr installed when I upgraded to testing. I don't think I have it installed at the moment either.
]]>bad news,
ive put "IgnorePkg = nss-nspr" in pacman.conf "[options]" and tried to install gnome again ("pacman -Sy gnome").
but then it gives me an error message where it says "evolution-data-server" requires "nss-nspr" and he asks me wether to install it or not.
proceeding with "Yes" he also tries to install nss-nspr then, and abracadabra: "nss-nspr" conflicts with "mozilla-firefox"
i didnt try to install gnome without nss-nspr, coz it is required by evolution-thingy.
have you an idea of what to do now to successfully install gnome? :cry:
btw: there isnt anything like an tutorial or how-to, to install kde/gnome/xfce/whatever else WM. thast should gonna be fixed imho.
