Installing Gnome

UNDER SID:

The current metapackage for installing a good set of Gnome tools in [http://www.debian.org/releases/unstable SID] is gnome-desktop-environment. So, from the command line, run

-# apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment

You can also do

-# apt-get install gnome

but this will install additional software (gnome-office, evolution) that you may not want.

UNDER SARGE:

Gnome is currently broken. The gnome-core package is still the old 1.4 version, but the other components are the newer 2.4. Install at your own risk on [http://www.debian.org/releases/testing SARGE]!

Progress report (Colin Watson / Jordi Mallach, 15 Jan 2004):

In order to get the new metapackages into testing, we need:

  • new libxslt (1 day of wait)
  • planner (1 days of wait)
  • abiword and its deps (waiting for libxslt)

In order to get the meta-packages installable on all architectures, we need:

  • mips version of epiphany-browser, rhythmbox and planner.
  • m68k version of planner.
  • sparc version of planner.

UNDER WOODY:

In [http://www.debian.org/releases/stable WOODY] no ?"metapackage" exists. Again, run

-# apt-get install gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-control-center gnome-sawfish
