No GUI after installling

Post by Hansie » 2016/12/17 17:34:54

Dear Member,
I don't have a GUI after installing. I like to install one.

Code: Select all

yum groupinstall "Server with GUI"
:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
There is no installed groupsfile.
Maybe run : yum groups mark convert (see man yum)
Could not retreive mirrorlist....

Because there is no internet connection.

In order to find an internet connection (I have WiFi available) I tried :

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 scan
:

-bash: iw: command not found

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

Could you post the output of this:

Code: Select all

nmcli device wifi list
It should list the wifi networks available nearby.
Then , if you see your connection use the following (replace WIFI with your network):

Code: Select all

nmcli device wifi connect WIFI password PASS
Then list again. If you see a * in front of your network - you are connected.

Why not just repeat the install and select the GUI option this time?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

NetworkManager-wifi-1.4.0-12.el7.x86_64

So, I need something from this library:

http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

But what?
