Add KDE 3.3 to Clarkconnect 4.3

Why a GUI on a server? Well, this is good if you want to just access your CC server on the local machine with https://localhost:81

Next in line is to put MythTV or VideoLAN server on the CC server to dish out streaming media files of HDTV from a WinTV PVR.

Alt-F2 on the local machine or use Putty to your server to execute these commands.

edit /etc/apt/sources.list file

nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add this line
rpm http://vault.centos.org/4.5/apt/i386 . addons centosplus contrib extras os updates csgfs fasttrack

apt-get update
apt-get install xorg-x11 xorg-x11-tools xorg-x11-twm xorg-x11-xdm fonts-xorg-100dpi fonts-xorg-75dpi

Configure X environment by executing this command

X -configure

cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/xorg.conf

nano /etc/xorg.conf

alter this line under Section "Input Device" from
Option "Device" /dev/mouse

to

Option "Device" /dev/input/mice

Save and Exit

mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

apt-get -y install kdebase kdeutils kdeaddons kdenetwork kdegraphics kdeartwork kdegames kdeadmin

reboot

After reboot, Alt-F2 again and login as root on the local machine. GUI cannot be executed on Putty.

startx

Viola. KDE 3.3 on your Clarkconnect server.
