Install XFCE on CentOS 7 official release

Following Notes work on CentOS/RHEL/OEL 7.

As the release is fresh, we dont have rpmfusion packages on XFCE.

Also we dont have RHN access.

 

Alternative for now: install via EPEL repo

 

1. install CentOS 7 release
http://www.centos.org/download/

Minimal install without X window and Desktop setups.

 

2. install EPEL repo.

http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/beta/7/x86_64/repoview/epel-release.html

 

3. install XFCE sets.

 

Now OK:

or:

 

Get Necessary Packages:

Still there’s a fatal problem for now, that no thunar packages available yet.
#yum install Thunar thunar  # not work

Trying from scratch
# http://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/thunar/1.6/Thunar-1.6.3.tar.bz2

Also: following build in progress, waiting…
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/Thunar/builds/

Well ,  thunar package may be available now when you read this note, just ignore the following,

or if not yet ready, please keep noticed.
I tried  to fetch package from F20.

1. the latest version of Thunar is 1.6.3-3.fc21  ,  but EL7 is based on fc21,
google “Thunar-1.6.3-2.fc20.src.rpm” for the location

2. essential tools:

3. packages ready for build:

4.build RPM

RPMs now ready here:

 

Install is ok:

Same issue on xfdesktop,  fetch and compile together.
# google xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.fc20.src.rpm

 

Alternative:
I just saw following builds:

just download directly here:

Thunar    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=543666
xfdesktop   http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=543669

Compile python3 on SLES 11 SP2

Install following RPMs before Steps:

Python3 source from: Python 3.3.5

Without zlib-devel,  You cannot enable zlib module built-in, install this RPM and re-compile python3 src.
about bzip2,  SLES doesnt provide extra bzip2-devel package, so just install bzip2 RPM is ok.

Without libopenssl-devel,  you cannot fetch https URL via easy_install,  it reports “unknown url type: https”

 

To Enablle ipython notebook:

Please install  sqlite-devel package: (UN OFFICIAL)
http://software.opensuse.org/package/sqlite3-devel
Im using:

 

1. install zeromq: # for pyzmq

Guide here: http://zeromq.org/distro:sles

2.  install dependencies:
easy_install  pyzmq jinja2 tornado
easy_install  sphinx readline
##### easy_install pysqlite # DO NO RUN THIS CMD. here hit bug, fixing… pysqlite doesn’t support python3 now, use internal sqlite3

 

3. run #ipython notebook ok.

 

 

 

 

 

Install Ipython notebook on Fedora 15

Ipython now provides RPM(python-ipython-notebook) from Fedora 18.
http://ipython.org/install.html

 

Fedora 15 is too old… not providing RPM, but we can also install very easy.

1. Install zeromq: (Im using i686 boxes, no yum servers now provided for the old release, you can google for the RPMs)

2. using easy_install:

3. Run the service in your own directory:
