I have this new keyboard with a poorly positioned Del key, and I
deleted your message in such a way that it seems to be gone. So I
went to the archive and pulled it up there.

<br>
yum group install Xfce "X Window System"
<br>
<br>
Helped. It added 6 packages plus 21 dependencies:
<br>
<br>
Installing for group install "X Window System":
<br>
plymouth-system-theme armv7hl 0.8.9-0.31.20140113.el7.centos
base 31 k
<br>
spice-vdagent armv7hl 0.14.0-15.el7 base 66 k
<br>
xorg-x11-drivers armv7hl 7.7-6.el7 base 8.3 k
<br>
xorg-x11-server-Xorg armv7hl 1.19.5-5.el7 base 1.2 M

<br>
xvattr armv7hl 1.3-27.el7 base 22 k

But I am now at the situation where the login fails and I end up
right back at the login page. I looked at the message log and see

I have had some help in private exchanges and have done the
following:<br>
<br>
yum install avahi gnome-backgrounds<br>
systemctl enable avahi-daemon<br>
systemctl start avahi-daemon<br>
<br>
this took care of a number of errors, but why gnome-backgrounds for
Xfce to deal with the message:<br>
<br>
Oct 17 20:17:39 ct-c7 journal: Failed to load background '<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jpg</a>':
Error opening file /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jpg: No
such file or directory
<br>
<br>
But still a couple of unresolved errors that are stopping the login:<br>

ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with
'var'. The property access will work as previously for the time being, but
please fix your code anyway.

gnome-shell --- a nasty piece of work, and one the Gnome Mafia
want to cram down our throats
Fedora next ship was blocked by this for a while ....
definitely file a bug and carp publicly
=============end private exchange=====================
So to publicly carp...
I even tried installing gnome-shell:
# yum install gnome-shell
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.siena.edu
* centos-kernel: mirror.siena.edu
* extras: mirror.siena.edu
* updates: mirror.siena.edu
Package gnome-shell-3.26.2-5.el7.armv7hl already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
So what does it want? This is a bug...
And along with the above message is:
Oct 18 10:45:36 ct-c7 org.gnome.Shell.desktop: Window manager warning: "XF86RFKill" is not a valid accelerator
This is also a bug to file with a need for that the accelerator not be called when the modules is absent, as on arm?
So I think I am getting closer to running Xfce, but stumbling along the way.
All help on the above greatly appreciated.
