So I shouldn't rush out to do more testing. I may have the

Please test as much as you can, I don't know how long it will

So let's start afresh. I edited the seemingly appropriate group
xml files I picked up from the main Centos repo. First I built
a clean install, did yum update, added the epel1 repo, and
created a user. Then I installed the rpms from the X11 DE: <br>
<br>
yum install glx-utils initial-setup-gui mesa-dri-drivers
plymouth-system-theme spice-vdagent xorg-x11-drivers
xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-xauth
xorg-x11-xinit xvattr tigervnc-server wayland-protocols-devel
xorg-x11-drv-keyboard xorg-x11-drv-libinput xorg-x11-drv-mouse
xorg-x11-drv-openchrome <br>
<br>
there was: <br>
No package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome available. <br>
<br>
But that SHOULD be OK. Then I installed the Xfce DE: <br>
<br>
yum install Thunar xfce-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-session
xfce4-settings xfconf xfdesktop xfwm4 gdm leafpad
openssh-askpass orage polkit-gnome thunar-archive-plugin
thunar-volman tumbler xfce4-appfinder xfce4-icon-theme
xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session-engines xfce4-terminal
xfwm4-theme-nodoka xfwm4-themes pinentry <br>
<br>
No package xfce-utils available. <br>
No package leafpad available. <br>
No package xfce4-icon-theme available. <br>
No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available. <br>
</blockquote>
Those 4 pkgs are also unavailable on x86. I don't know if you
tested, but I think you should test the steps in x86, and then
replicate them on arm<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I really don't have an x86 available for testing! Just my
notebooks, and I need those as they are...<br>

This bothers me. Probably really need xfce-utils. Mousepad
will do in place of leafpad as that is what Fedora has switched
to. <br>
<br>
Powered off, connected my KVM that has my Kybd and mouse and
directly connected the HDMI monitor connection (the KVM only
supports VGA). And powered up.... <br>
<br>
I see the following on the serial console as the HDMI monitor
goes blank: <br>
<br>
[ OK ] Reached target Login Prompts. <br>
Starting GNOME Display Manager... <br>
[FAILED] Failed to start Crash recovery kernel arming. <br>
See 'systemctl status kdump.service' for details. <br>
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager. <br>
<br>
kdump is of no concern. <br>

<br>
And Centos is still using the Gnome DM, not dmlight as Fedora
does now. NO dmlight in the repo, I tried installing it after
the following test: <br>
<br>
Finally get to the login screen and I log in and after a while I
am back at the login screen. :( <br>
<br>
So I look at the last 40 lines in /var/log/messages: <br>
<br>
........<br>
<br>
So I am missing something... <br>
<br>
I will set this drive to the side so we can go back to testing
it once you tell me whatelse I need to install... <br>
</blockquote>
I may be missing something too, so I'd like you to test this from
another angle. First get Gnome working, and then install the xfce
packages, so we know X has everything to run.<br>
<br>

<br>
I am installing group "gnome desktop" over what I have.<br>

(found via greping the screen log)<br>
<br>
Poweroff, checked that everything was plugged in right. Powered up.<br>
<br>
Once the DE came up, I looked for how to select Xfce. Did not see
it. Clicked on my user, and THERE was a little icon for selecting
Xfce. Chose that, entered my password, and the Xfce desktop came
right up.<br>
<br>
Only have done a little so far from the direct console.<br>
<br>
Bottom line is my manual list is missing something critical. We
need the appropriate groups instead of guessing. I am sure there
are people better than me to build the right manual list if we can't
get the group(s) built.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile I will do the vncserver with Xfce test as well now that I
have a DE. I have had problems with F29, see bug 1633805.<br>
