I used google translations to read the various links , it seemed quite adequate

As an experiment, I’ve installed the Anka “Kaya” Xfce 0.1 to a spare partition of my HD. It has worked smoothly on my hardware thus far, so I thought I’d expand on the information already provided by TicoLinux on Yoyo’s Pardus Life blog ... For those who haven’t abandoned Pardus / Anka and who are Xfce fans, you might be interested in trying out this version.

TicoLinux. “Pardus Anka Kaya 0.1 Test.” 9 Sept. 2012

Summary

Kaya (‘rock’ or ‘stone’ in English); the “0.1“ numbering is in honor of the first official version of Pardus, 1.0, released in 2005 and based on Gentoo.

The .iso is an installation CD only (approx. 680 MB) -- there is currently no Live CD version.

64-bit version only, Linux kernel 3.2.5, Xfce 4.10, Chromium 17.0.963.33 (default browser), GRUB Legacy

This is a test (unstable) version which is not recommended for use in a production environment. (However, despite a few minor glitches, it has peformed well on my HD partition during the past 1.5 days).

Possible Installation Glitch with Nvidia GPUs

Note: Those with certain models of Nvidia graphic cards may need to use a cheatcode in order to get the Install CD to load / display properly. (In my case, “xorg=safe” did the trick).

Additional suggestions can be found in this forum thread:

http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=3582.0
“2011 Won’t Install.” 24 Jan. 2011.

Selecting the Repository

It has the TUBITAK repository enabled by default, so it would be a good idea to add the Anka repo and disable the TUBITAK repo (following the instructions below).

(I did not uninstall the three virtualbox-related packages before beginning, and I had no problems with updating the system or installing packages from the Terminal).

If you need a refresher on using PiSi from the command line, you can look at the Wiki:

http://en.pardus-wiki.org/Pisi_CLI_Usage
“PiSi CLI Usage.”

It is possible to install the GUI version of PiSi (package-manager), but be aware that it will pull in a large number of KDE-related dependencies.

Available Programs

A sample listing of Xfce-compatible programs which can be installed from the Anka 64-bit repo. (Programs with a strikethrough are not available in the repository):

Miscellaneous Issues

One of the extra Xfce plugins I installed (I didn’t make a note of which one) pulled in a strange dependency of texlive-core, which drastically increased the download size to over 100 MB.

Here is a screenshot of my Kaya Xfce 0.1 desktop (with the Anka “Turkalin" wallpaper):

Hi, TicoLinux,

Yes, I still have Kaya installed and am using it right now. I have not had time to test everything, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how much of the system is working fine.

There are still rough edges to fix, though ... For example, I just tried to use Texmaker (a LaTeX editor) for the first time. The program itself opens OK, but when I try to open a .tex file with Texmaker (via its File > Open menu), a very strange-looking window opens:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

It's late, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if I can figure out why this is happening ... (It's curious that if I use Geany to open a file [via its File > Open menu), everything is fine; all of the icon names / file names appear correctly).

Thank you again for taking the time to write about Kaya Xfce. If I hadn't read your blog article, I wouldn't have made the effort to install Kaya myself.

[daves]

very good! something is going on! i can't wait the anka-kde release.
Can i enable repo anka and pardus-user.de together?

PS: and a release with gnome-shell/mate is possible?

[TicoLinux]

Well, Xfce isn't my favorite graphical desktop but, this Xfce looks very nice.

Nope, you cannot mix Anak and Pardus-user repo.
If you need packages from Pardususer you must build them yourself, or maybe some
are avaliable in the Anka repo.

okidoki... sad news

 Hello Kalwisti

 I've been thinking, what if we remove the tutibak repository and then add the pardususer.de repository and install KDE4?
 I regained the Anka Kaya virtual machine and I ran command on console:
 
pisi it -c desktop.kde.addon -y

it begins installing, around 155 MB but it freezes here:


 ImageShack.us

But well! is a virtual machine and internet connection is 1 MB......whith cellphone.

[TicoLinux]

 Well....here is my Pardus Anka Kaya with Lxde, how do that?, just run at your console:

pisi ar Anka http://paketler.pardus-linux.org/pardus/2012/testing/x86_64/pisi-index.xml.xz

pisi er Anka

pisi dr Pardus

pisi it -c desktop.lxde.base -y

 Ready, we have Lxde on our Pardus Anka kaya



 Also I love Firefox, so I installed it from pardususer.de repo, but I disabled Anka repo:

pisi dr Anka

pisi ar PardusUser.de http://pakete.pardususer.de/pardus-2011/x86_64/pisi-index.xml.xz

pisi er PardusUser.de

pisi it firefox -y



Too nice!
