Hi What is the recommended method to install KDE on RHEL 8? I tried adding EPEL repo and did: yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" But this fails with: ================ Error: Problem 1: conflicting requests - nothing provides xmessage needed by plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64 Problem 2: package sddm-breeze-5.18.4.1-2.el8.noarch requires plasma-workspace = 5.18.4.1-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides xmessage needed by plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64 Problem 3: package plasma-desktop-5.18.4.1-2.el8.1.x86_64 requires plasma-workspace >= 5.18, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides xmessage needed by plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64 Problem 4: package kde-print-manager-19.12.3-2.el8.x86_64 requires plasma-workspace, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides xmessage needed by plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64 ================ Do I need to do anything else to install KDE off EPEL? or is there another source?

OK, I forgot that there is one other step. For many EPEL packages (including KDE) you have to also enable the codeready-builder (RHEL) or PowerTools (CentOS) #### If RHEL 8 do subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms #### If CentOS 8 do dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools #### If CentOS Stream do dnf config-manager --enable Stream-PowerTools It looks like that should fix your problem.

I have hit another problem when trying to install Okteta: ----------------- Error:  Problem: conflicting requests   - nothing provides gccxml needed by okteta-1:0.26.0-3.el8.1.x86_64 ------------------ I downloaded the source RPMs of this version (0.26.0-3) and a newer version (0.26.4) for Fedora from Koji. The RHEL version spec file has Requires: gccxml libxslt While the Fedora version has: Requires: castxml libxslt Any idea why this is so? Thanks, Syam

Opening a bugzilla would be the first pointer. It makes things like this more trackable. But looking at the spec file looks like Fedora has a recommends gccxml, while RHEL has a requires. Simple enough fix. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks a ton for this. I have installed most packages for KDE on RHEL 8. Everything seem to work fine (on my VM). I had to manually build only very few packages - KRename, Kchmviewer and yakuake (all from Fedora koji srpms). Regarding Bugzilla entry, where exactly do I file this? There's no Okteta product for RHEL. And filing against Fedora is not really correct as it works fine on Fedora. But is that where I should be filing packaging related issues for KDE on RHEL 8 as well?
