So I shouldn't rush out to do more testing. I may have
the group 'soon' and do it right? I can afford to
assign more time to my paid consulting right now! <br>

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

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>
</blockquote>
<br>
No screensaver tool listed in settings. No background theme. No
background theme is no biggie, but no screensaver control?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Setting up vncserver was easy. The only thing to note is that the
xstartup is for gnome. Change as follows for Xfce:<br>
<br>
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc<br>
exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc<br>
<br>
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup<br>
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources<br>
xsetroot -solid grey<br>
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &<br>
startxfce4 &<br>
<br>
You have to first start vncserver so that you get the gnome xstartup
file. Then you edit it, stop vncserver, and restart it. Very
challenging. See my bug: 633811<br>
<br>
With no screensaver, the session never locks. I went away for a
doctor's appt and came back 2 hours later and still had the open,
unlocked, vnc session. Of course my notebook's desktop was locked.<br>
<br>
I inserted a usb drive, and when I went to mount it, it polkit
dialog asked for my password. My user account is in group wheel. I
installed k3b, attached a usb CD/DVD writer, but k3b did not 'see'
/dev/sr0 and threw an error. These are selinux policy issues that I
don't know how to adjust.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I am putting Centos-arm work away and going back to
Nethserver (which is still Centos-arm) until Pablo is able to make
the necessary DE group(s). Or someone else much more skilled than
I.<br>
<br>
And thanks Pablo for getting it this far along!<br>
