  • Server with GUI but without System Tools and Utilities

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I got stuck with a weird problem here. I've installed RHEL 7.4 via anaconda and checked 'Server with GUI' in the software collection dialog. At first it seems that the machine was installed as expected.

    On the second look I've detected that the menus 'System Tools' and 'Utilities' from the Applications menu are empty.

    Running

    sudo yum grouplist
    shows the group 'Server with GUI' to be available and not installed. But trying to install it I got the message that there is nothing to do.

    $ sudo yum grouplist
    [sudo] password for user: 
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
    Available Environment Groups:
       Minimal Install
       Infrastructure Server
       File and Print Server
       Basic Web Server
       Virtualization Host
       Server with GUI
    Installed Groups:
       Graphical Administration Tools
       Legacy UNIX Compatibility
       Security Tools
       System Administration Tools
    Available Groups:
       Compatibility Libraries
       Console Internet Tools
       Development Tools
       Scientific Support
       Smart Card Support
       System Management
    Done
    
    $ sudo yum groupinstall 'Server with GUI'
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
    Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
    No packages in any requested group available to install or update
    
    1. How do I get the programs usually are in System Tools and Utilities?
    2. Why isn't the group 'Server with GUI' mared as installed and how do I get this straight?

    Best regards,

    Jörg
