Cent OS 6.2 Support

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,  

 Does anybody knows when support for CenOS 6.2 will be available?  I am already using 6.2 but in website the supported OSs are only 4 and 5.  I have subscription full license.  Thanks,

Hum, i think i am doing something wrong because there is no way to install even in commanda line. How did you do that? I burned an .iso and autorun does not open. Is there any guide step-by-step to install? 

 I just took a look and i did not find it. Maybe i will have to take a closer look, but if you know at glance it might help.  Thanks again.

Just one last confirmation: 

 All was installed with ./ with su right?  Thanks

Another question: 

 How to set the display variable with a valid X display for a GUI?  Which X display you are using. I just installed and could not add/remove a X display. I did not work.  Thanks again,

If you have sshed into the Centos 6.2 machine, then use ssh -X <machine>. If you have not installed X at all, then you've likely messed up your Centos install. I'd guess you might want to start again, or perhaps 'yum install gnome' and pickup all the dependencies. Personally, I'd start from scratch to make sure you have a decent Centos 6.2 install. I install a workstation install.  Cheers, Dave

I am using a software development workstation. I downloaded from centos.org the 6.2 version. I installed everything again and everything was the same. I will try to make all you said now. Thanks again.

If you have a graphical desktop running, then you should have no problems with the Quartus install. You run the script, it pops up the installer GUI, and you follow the prompts.  Cheers, Dave

[Altera_Forum]

Yes i am using a graphical desktop, but the installer GUI does no pop up. I will try to install X.

[Altera_Forum]

I tried yum install gnome and it said No package gnome available.

You already have a graphical desktop running, so you should just be able to run the install script, i.e.,  1) In the graphical desktop, start a terminal  2) Login as root  3) Run the installer script via  ./11.1_173_quartus_linux.sh  or perhaps  bash ./11.1_173_quartus_linux.sh  4) Follow the GUI  Cheers, Dave

GUI does not start. Wicj mirror you downloaded your centos 6.2? I will try to download again and reinstall.

You already indicated that the Centos GUI was running fine. There should be no need to reinstall Centos, as you indicate its already running fine.  Why don't you post a screen shot of what happens when you run the Quartus install script in the terminal? Perhaps it'll be clearer what you have done wrong.  Cheers, Dave

GUI does not show up.

Just one comment: I have a two DVD disk CentOs6.2 install. He does not ask for the second DVD. Maybe if i download the same .iso or file you have i will also have a know copy.
